Lecture 11: Resistance Training Flashcards
Give a body weight elastic band and free weight example of lower body RT for calves
Body: toe raise
Elastic: Ankle plantar flexion
Free weight: toe raise
Give a body weight elastic band and free weight example of upper body RT back and arms
Body weight for back: quadruped
Elastic back for back: lat pull down
Free weight exercise for arms: tricep kick back
What are the health related benefits of resistance training for glucose tolerance
improvements in glucose tolerance and insulin resistance
What is the conclusion
Despite similar increases in strength and FFM, the VR group decreased difficulty performing the carry task more than the HR group
What are some characteristics and considerations of the type of resistance training
safe, effective, convenient and enjoyable
Give a body weight elastic band and free weight example of lower body RT for thighs
Body weight: sit to stand
Elastic: leg extension
Weight: squat
in OA if the training goal is muscular endurance
Load?
Reps?
less than or equal to 65%
12-15 reps
What are the methods
- 6 month intervention
- men and women over 60
- measured before and after: body comp, strength, difficulty in performing ADL’s
- repeated measures of ANOVA
should not exceed _____ sets for the OA
2-3
Why should you exercise larger muscle groups first
to allow increase in intensity and decrease in muscle fatigue in large muscle groups
In the review paper that combined 16 studies on the effects of resistance and power training on physical function and strength what was the trend
Power had a greater increase on balance, chair rise time and gait speed
Resistance had a better effect on strength
Daily activity tasks were:
walking, climbing stairs and walking while carrying a weight (30% of the subjects maximum isometric elbow strength)
Can OA 90y/old + perform RT and increase their strength?
Yes- Pioneer study in 1990
High intensity Strength training in Nonagenarians (+90)
What 4 the 4 stages of the overload principle
- OA who live sedentary lifestyle
- Demands on muscles decrease
- Muscle cells decrease in size
- Muscles decrease in strength and mechanical force
What are the strengths of the fixed weight machines (3)
- can target the larger muscle groups more efficiently
- easier for proper movement technique
- low risk of injury is load is right
What is resistance
Resistance is also known as load
- the amount of force exerted against working muscles
- expressed in absolute (lbs/kg) or relative terms (%)
What should be a priority in a training program for OA
Optimal stimulation of the large muscle groups in the legs and the upper body
What RM is heavy, moderate and light
- greater than or equal to 90 = heavy
- 70-90 = moderate
- less than 70 = light
Give a body weight elastic band and free weight example of upper body RT for chest
Body weight: standing push up
Elastic: seated chest press
Free weight: chest press
What was the purpose of the high resistance versus variable resistance training in OA
The purpose was to compare the effects of high resistance training 3 times a week at 80% 1RM with 3 times a week variable resistance 80, 65 and 50% 1RM in older adults
How to perform RT in a safe way for OA?
- Warm up muscles for ____________
- Start with ______ and gradually add reps, intensity (load) and sets
- Conduct exercises through a _________
- Discontinue or adapt any exercises that ______
- Never ________
- Avoid __________ joints
- Allow ______ between RT sessions using same muscle groups
Keep in ming OA need more time to recover
How to perform RT in a safe way for OA?
- Warm up muscles for at least 10 minutes
- Start with low resistance and gradually add reps, intensity (load) and sets
- Conduct exercises through a full pain free ROM
- Discontinue or adapt any exercises that cause pain or decrease resistance
- Never hold your breath - can increase BP, exhale during exertion and inhale during release phase
- Avoid hyperextending joints
- Allow 48 hours between RT sessions using same muscle groups
Keep in ming OA need more time to recover
In frail OA, a 1-RM might be too intense, what is an alternative?
80% 1RM 8-9 reps
