Q

FITT: Type or Mode

A
  1. should involve large muscle groups
  2. disease or treatment may require specific muscles exercised or ignored
  3. patient must enjoy the activity
  4. must be done safely
17
Q

While not set in stone, which FITT principle should be progressed first?

A

Time/Duration

18
Q

While there is little evidence to support 10,000 steps per day physiologically for duration, what is something this provides that is positive?

A

provides patient w/a goal

can be altered

19
Q

T/F: recommended exercise time can be performed continuously or intermittently, and time can be accumulated over the course of the day

A

True

20
Q

What is the minimum amount of time an exercise session should last

A

10 minutes

21
Q

Order of progression for exercise prescription

A
  1. duration
  2. frequency
  3. intensity

should be gradual and anticipate setbacks

22
Q

Rate of progression of exercise program depends on the following

A
  1. individual’s health status / change in status
  2. physical fitness status
  3. training response
  4. exercise program goals
23
Q

What increase in duration is reasonable for the average adult

A

increasing 5-10 min every 1-2 weeks over 2st 4-6 weeks.

24
Q

overall goal for exercise w/cancer survivors

A

meet exercise guidelines for healthy individuals (150 min/week)

25
Q

How do you determine the volume of an exercise program?

A

document time spent within the THR zone

sufficient challenge to bring about physiological adaptation

26
Q

Recommended components of an exercise training session

A
  1. warm up 5-1o min
  2. stretching 5-10 min
  3. conditioning variable
  4. cool down 5-10 min
27
Q

Recommendation for resistance training in cancer patients

A
  1. ROM, elastic bands then progress to weight machines
  2. large muscle groups
  3. proper form
  4. start w/1x10 ROE 2-3
28
Q

% of 1RM for poorly conditioned

A

35-55%

29
Q

% 1RM for mod conditioned

A

55-70%

30
Q

Progression for resistance training in order

A
  1. increase reps
  2. increase sets (up to 3)
  3. increase weight
