Lecture 13 Flashcards
Muscle mass growth trends
grows from birth until young adulthood
peaks for women from 16-20
peaks for men from 18-25
Decreases beginning at age 25
decreases 1 per year, 8% each decade
rapidly decreases beginning age 50
How to decrease decline in muscle mass
happens at a later age or at a slower rate in active adults
Immobilization and muscle
type 1 (slow twitch) fibers atrophy at a faster rate than type 2 (fast twitch)
Elders and muscle injury
macrophage infiltration is lower/slower
fibrotic tissue interposed with muscle
fat infiltration
Resistance has an impact on
muscle hypertrophy, muscle strength, muscle fiber size, satellite cell count, glycolytic function, mitochondrial volume
Endurance exercise has an impact on
lactate tolerance, mitochondrial volume, protein synthesis, capillary density, oxidative function, endurance capacity, satellite cells count, glycolytic function
endurance has none or small impact on
muscle hypertrophy, muscle strength, muscle fiber size
Resistance has no or small impact on
lactate tolerance, protein synthesis, capillary density, oxidative function, endurance
Exam and Eval of muscle performance
MMT
handheld and isokinetic dynamometers
dynamic strength test
Benefits of submaximal loading
injury protection
after sedentary lifestyle
after prolonged immobilization
pt has bone demineralization
initially learning exercise
general goal is muscle endurance
confidence or self-efficacy are low
Finding submaximal load
estimate method
MMT method
Benefits of near-max or max loading
goal is muscle strength, power, hypertrophy
advanced phase of rehab
condition program
competitive weightlifting
Use 1 RM to determine load
Repetition maximum
greatest amount of weight a muscle can move through the full available ROM with control for a specific number of times before fatiguing
NEVER use with post op, joint instability, osteoporosis, cardiovascular pathology
Goal: increase muscle endurance
use dosages early in rehab process
load is approx 40% of 10 RM
Rest between sets, 45-60 sec
Goal: increase muscle strength
use after pt has made progress with endurance training
load is approx 60-80% of 1 RM or an amount that causes fatigue after 6-8 reps
Rest between sets, 2-3 minutes
DeLorme’s PRE
10 RM based program
3 Sets, changing weight throughout
1 = 50% of 10 RM
2 = 75% of 10 RM
3 = 100% of 10 RM
