1
Q

2007 Joint Recommendation by ACSM and American Heart Assoc. relative to exercise

A

expend approximately 1000 kcal/week
health adults (18-65) need moderate intensity aerobic exercise for at least 30 min 5days/week
or if risk level permits they need vigorous physical activity for at least 20 minutes 3 days/week

Q

warm up in the elderly populations

A

low intensity, generalized warm-up designed to elevate the HR, induce vasodilation thereby increasing circulation may decrease arrhytmias and decrease the potential for myocardial ischemia

Q

Rationale for adjust MHR for swimming

A

reduced temp in most pools (78-84F)
less forward stimulation from the motor cortex to the medulla
non-weight bearing exercise compared to weight bearing
horizontal position in swimming, as compared to vertical in running, may augment stroke volume; thereby, increasing cardiac output and driving HR down

28
Q

Duration of exercise for continuous training

A

Intially: 15-20 minutes (less if necessary)
Progress to 20-30 minutes for aerobic fitness
**20 minutes is generally the lower limit recommendation adn 30 minutes is the most common duration recommended

29
Q

endurance performance duration of exercise

A

progressive overload designed for longer durations (designed with competetive distances in mind)

30
Q

weight loss duration of exercise

A

longer durations preferable (>30min)

31
Q

duration of exercise for discontinuous training

A

multiple bouts throughout the day (e.g. short durations fo whatever timeis appropriate for the current level of fitness)
may range from multiple short repeats (less than a minute) to multiple repeats of 10 minutes or more

32
Q

types of activities good for improving the oxygen pathway

A

rhytmic
sustained
large amounts of muscle mass involved
the more vigorous the better as long as it’s under the aerobic ceiling

33
Q

ACSM progressive overload recommendation

A

an increas ein exercise duration fo an aerobic workout by 5-10 minutes (depending on exercise frequency) every 1-2 weeks over the first 4-6 weeks. after a month, institute gradual adjustments to fit based on fitness goals

34
Q

progressive overload example (NOT ACSM)

A

10% increase in exercise duration per week (or every 2 weeks) with intensity held constant until the desired training distance is acquired.
once desired distance is acquired then attention can be paid to increasing intensity

35
Q

what can be a beneficial supplement to progessive overload example #2 (NOT ACSM)

A

supplementing aerobic conditioning with appropriate resistance exercises to maintain strength and joint integrity is also beneficial

36
Q

what must one pay attention to with progressive overload

A

coordinating hard and easy training days ( and weeks) to avoid over-training syndromes

37
Q

Beginning aerobic program for an untrained or detrained person

A

5 dys/week
approximately 55% of PMHR (7-% HRR) or RPE no greater than 12
20-30 min if well tolerated
progressive overload (10%)

38
Q

Example of week oone in beginnign aerobic program for an untrained or detrained person

A

1 min easy jog (differential PRE 12) followed by 1 min recovery, repeat for total duration fo 20-30 minutes
the 1 min joggin segments should not exceed an RPE of 12

39
Q

example of progressive overload for a beginning program with intensity held constant

A

continue adding approximately 10% increases to a 1 minute jogging segments each week until you eliminate the walking segments through week 9
maintain RPE no greater than 12

40
Q

intensity overlloads (performance goals)

A

fartlek training

pace training

41
Q

fartlek training

A

speed play

42
Q

pace training

A

continuous training

43
Q

current pace training

A

a prseon is currently running an 8 min/mile pace for 30 minutes; they want to work on improving running time. The new pace they want to run is 7.75 min/mile

44
Q

what should the goal pace in pace training elicit

A

HRS near, at, or slightly above the generally recognized upper limits of MHR, PMHR, OR HRR) whatever can be tolerated

45
Q

Week 1 of new pace in pace training

A

first workout reveals that the 7:45 pace can only be sustained for 23 minutes compared to the previous week of 30 minutes

46
Q

what is the prescription for week one in pace training

A

run at 7:45 pace for 23 minutes on MWF

run at previous 8min/mile pace on TR

47
Q

week 2 pace training

A

experiment with increasing duration by 10% in week 2 while maintaining 7:45 pace (23 x .1 = 2.3)
the duration for week 2 on MWF will be 25.3 minutes or just round off to 25 minutes

48
Q

week 3 pace training

A

duration will increase to 27.8 minutes (round to 28)

49
Q

week 4 pace training

A

in week four the eercise duration will only need to increase 2 minutes to be back to the original time of 30 minutes, but it will now be at the faster pace of 7:45

50
Q

week 5 pace training

A

attempt 7:45 pace on each training day for the entire 5 day workout

51
Q

option with pace training for weeks 1-4

A

you might consider 2 weeks before intensity adjustments with more intense workout days followed by less intense

52
Q

some research has suggested tha thigh intesity training (HIT) may enhance

A

the oxygen pathway as well as be a legitimate exercise option for losing fat

53
Q

HIT

A

repeated sessions of brief (i.e., few seconds up to several minutes), of maximal ro near maximal exericse (i.e. >90% of VO2 peak)

54
Q

Allged HIT adapations

A
citrate synthase
cytochrome c oxidase
resting glycogen stores
glycogen sparing
fiver conversions from IIX to IIA
55
Q

citrate synthase

A

krebs cycle enzyme

56
Q

cytochrome c oxidase

A

enzyme that plays important roles in electron transport

57
Q

glycogen sparing

A

reduced rate of glycogen utilization during matched work designs
this might suggest an increased capacity for suing fat as fuel

58
Q

what is the difference in adaptations between HIT and lower intensity, longer duration exercises

A

lower intesity, longer duration exercise typically takes longer to cause these adaptations; therefore, it has been suggested tha thigh intesity exercise could possibly be a more time efficient strategy for inducing certain types of aerobic adaptations

59
Q

what might be a more time efficient strategy for inducing certain types of aerobic adapations

A

high intensity exericse

60
Q

some studies didn’t show increase in

A

mitochondrial density nor increases in VO2 max

61
Q

other students on HIT adaptations have suggested that increased levels of lactate may

A

stimulate increases in mitochondria and presumably maximum oxygen consumption

62
Q

improvement expectations from chronic aerobic training

A

anywhere from 5-30% change in VO2 depending upon FITT
improvement is maximized at higher intensities (i.e. 85% OF hrr OR 85-90% of PMHR) or intensities at, just below, or above OBLA

63
Q

after 2 weeks of sedentary behavior you have

A

significant reductions in aerobic capcity

64
Q

the majority of Cardio-respiratory adaptations from exercise may be lost

A

after 2.5-8 weeks of inactivity dependign on the degree of inactiviy

65
Q

losses in CR endurance due to a reduction in frequency of exercise can be minimized by

A

compensating with an increase in inensity on the days that are exercised ( one vigorous session/week can slow down the de-conditioning process
