Q

Do children and adolescents need medical screening before beginning exercise?

A

Most young individuals are healthy and able to start moderate intensity exercise training without medical screening; Vigorous exercise can be initiated after safely participating in moderate exercise. (Because prepubescent children have immature skeletons, younger children should not participate in “excessive” amounts of vigorous intensity exercise)

Q

Children and Adolescents Exercise Testing

A

Exercise testing for clinical purposes is generally not indicated for children or adolescents unless there is a health concern; The exercise testing protocol should be based on the reason the test is being performed and the functional capability of the child or adolescents; Children and adolescents should be familiarized with the test protocol and procedure before testing to minimize stress and maximize the potential for a successful test.

Q

What test protocols are best for children and adolescents?

A

Treadmill and cycle ergometers should be available for testing. Treadmills tend to elicit a higher peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) and maximum HR (HRmax); Cycle ergometers provide less risk for injury but need to be correctly sized for the child or adolescent; Children and adolescents may require extra motivation and support during the exercise test compared to adults.

A

Similar as for healthy individuals.

47
Q

Cardiorespiratory Fitness (Low Back Pain – Exercise Testing)

A
  • Few studies have subjected individuals with LBP to exercise tests to exhaustion.
  • Submaximal exercise tests are considered reliable and valid for individuals with LBP.
  • Actual or anticipated pain may limit submaximal testing as often as maximal testing. Therefore, the choice of maximal versus submaximal testing in individuals with LBP should be guided by the same considerations as for the general population
48
Q

Individuals with LBP frequently have deficits in…

A

Trunk muscle strength and endurance and neuromuscular imbalance; The role these play in the development and progression of LBP remains unclear; Decreases in muscular strength and endurance may be independent of the period and intensity of LBP

49
Q

Muscular Strength and Endurance (Low Back Pain– Exercise Testing)

A
  • General testing of muscular strength and endurance in individuals with LBP should be guided by the same considerations as for the general population.
  • Tests of the strength and endurance of the trunk musculature (e.g., isokinetic dynamometers with back attachments, selectorized machines, and back hyperextension benches) are commonly assessed in individuals with LBP.
  • Performance of muscular strength and endurance assessments is often limited by actual or anticipated fear of reinjury in individuals with LBP.
50
Q

Flexibility (Low Back Pain– Exercise Testing)

A

There is no clear relationship between gross spinal flexibility and LBP; Flexibility testing in individuals with LBP should be guided by the same considerations as for the general population. (It is essential to identify whether the assessment is limited by stretch tolerance of the target structures or exacerbation of LBP symptoms.)

51

57
Q

LBP Special Considerations

A

There is a lack of agreement on the definition, components, and assessment techniques related to core stability.
The majority of tests used to assess core stability have not demonstrated validity

58
Q

Pregnancy

A
  • Healthy, pregnant women without exercise contraindications are encouraged to exercise throughout pregnancy.
  • Regular exercise during pregnancy provides health benefits and reduces the risks associates with sedentary behavior.
  • ACOG and USDHH guidelines provide evidence-based guidance on exercise prescription for the minimization of risk and promotion of health benefits.
