Exercise, health and conditioning Guidelines Flashcards
What is Physical activity?
any activity requiring physical exertion
What is the purpose of PA?
may or may not be to sustain or improve health and/or fitness
What are the 4 types of PA?
- locomotion
- ADLs
- occupation
- exercise
What is exercise?
a type of Physical Activity
What is the purpose of exercise?
sustain or improve health and/or fitness
Generic PA alone may not be sufficient to…
sustain health
3 roles of exercise
- identify aspects of health requiring training
- select appropriate exercises to target those aspects of health
- determine training parameters required to elicit adaptation
What is progressive overload
training adaptations that are elicited by exceeding the normal loading on physiologic systems (threshold for adaptation)
Overload is induced by…
manipulating frequency, volume, and intensity
3 fundamental principles of exercise?
- Progressive overload
- Specific adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID)
- Human variability
What is SAID?
specific adaptations to imposed demands (sAID)
- physiologic adaptations are specific to the overload imposed
- appropriate adaptations are elicited by selecting the correct exercise mode(s)
Differences in progressive overload in PA and exercise?
- During PA, progressive overload may or may not exceed normal loading especially duirng leisure time PA
- During exercise progressive overload intentionally exceeds normal loading
What are the 4 modes of exercise?
- Cardiorespiratory (aerbobic and anaerobic metabolic)
- Resistance training
- Flexibility
- Neuromotor
Dose-response relation
exercise programming (dose) is individualized to elicit optimal response
How do we manipulate exercise dose?
FITT principle
FITT= frequency, intensity, time/volume & type of exercise
Reversibility of training effects:
training-induced adaptations are reversed to varying degrees over time upon cessation of regular exercise
Heterogeneity of response:
there is considerable variability in individual responses to a standard dose of exercise
_________ and ____ exercise training is recommended to improve physical fitness and health.
Cardiorespiratory and resistance training is recommended to improve physical fitness and health
Neuromotor exercises are _____ activities can improve or maintain ____ _____, and ____ ____ in older persons.
- multifaceted
- physical function
- reduce falls
Flexibility exercises improve and maintain…
joint ROM
ACSM cardiorespiratory guidelines
- Type: regular, purposeful exercise that involves major muscle groups continuous and rhythmic in nature
- Time/Volume: 30-60 min/day moderate, 20-60 min/day vigorous; combination of moderate and vigorous
- Intensity: moderate and/or vigorous intensity
- Frequency: more than or equal to 3-5 days/week combination of moderate and vigorous
