Lesson 15: The ACE IFT Model Flashcards
What specific groups of people have different exercise guidelines? (7)
- obese clients
- youth
- older adults
- pre/post partum women
- hypertension
- hyperlipidemia
- osteoperosis
What should a client’s frequency of resistance training look like?
Each major muscle group should be trained 2-3 days a week.
What should a novice to intermediate client’s intensity level look like for resistance training?
They should perform resistance training at 60-70% of their 1_RM
What should an experienced strength training client’s intensity level look like for resistance training?
They should perform resistance training at 80% and above of their 1-RM.
What should an older client’s intensity level look like for resistance training?
They should perform resistance training at 40-50% of their 1-RM.
What should a sedentary client’s intensity level look like for resistance training?
They should perform resistance training at 40-50% of their 1-RM.
What should a client’s resistance training intensity level look like to improve muscular endurance?
They should perform resistance training at 50% and below of their 1-RM.
What should an older client’s resistance training intensity level look like to improve power?
They should perform resistance training at 20-50% of their 1-RM.
What is the recommended duration of a resistance training session?
There is no specific time limit.
Should resistance training involve multijoint exercises or single-joint exercises?
It should include both although typically, single-joint exercises should be performed after multijoint exercises.
What should multijoint exercises look to try to involve?
They should try to target an agonist and antagonist muscle
How many repetitions should be performed by older adults looking to improve strength and power through resistance training?
8-12
How many repetitions should be performed by middle-aged to older adults looking to improve their strength through resistance training?
10-15
How many reps (in resistance training) should be performed to improve muscular endurance?
15-20
How many sets of resistance training are recommended for most adults to improve strength and power?
2-4
How many sets of resistance training are recommended to improve muscular endurance?
2
Who can a single set of resistance exercises be effective for?
Older and novice exercisers.
How many minutes should be spent resting between each set in resistance training?
2-3 mins
How much time should be given to muscle groups for rest between sessions?
each single muscle group should be given 48 hours to rest and recover properly
In aerobic exercise, what should the number of days performed be between moderate and vigorous exercise?
Moderate exercise should be performed 5 or more days a week.
Vigorous exercise should be performed 3 or more days a week.
A combination should be performed 3-5 days a week.
Moderate and vigorous exercise is recommended for most adults, who would light to moderate exercise be recommended for?
unconditioned individuals
If performing moderate aerobic exercise, how long should the duration be?
30-60 mins per session
If performing vigorous aerobic exercise, how long should the duration be?
20-60 mins per session
Who could below 20 mins of aerobic exercise a day benefit?
Individuals that were previously sedentary
What is the target volume of MET-minutes per week for aerobic exercise?
500-1000
How many steps should clients aim for per day?
7000
Who would benefit from breaking up their session to 10 min intervals throughout the day?
Deconditioned indviduals
What would a gradual progression in exercise duration, frequency and intensity improve and reduce?
This will improve the client’s adherence and reduce risk of musculoskeletal injury and adverse cardiac events.
What does FITT-VP stand for?
frequency intensity time type volume pattern/progressions
What does MET-Minutes stand for?
Product of metabolic equivalents and minutes of exercise
What order does the function-health-fitness-continuum’s exercise programmes look to improve?
first it should re-establish proper function, then improve health, then develop and advance fitness and finally enhance performance.
What does the first stage of the function-health-fitness-performance-continuum programme, improving functional activity, look to improve
before moving to the second stage?
The first stage looks to improve functional abilities in daily living before safely engaging in moderate-intense physical activities or structured programmes.
What should be a primary goal for a sedentary client according to the function-health-fitness-performance continuum?
their primary goal should be to improve function and health
How long should a sedentary client focus and adhere to a regular routine/programme on improving function and health before moving on to the exercise variables?
4-6 weeks
In simple words, what is the 4 stages of the function-health-fitness-performance continuum?
- function
- health
- fitness
- performance
What is the foundation of the ACE IFT Model built on?
rapport with clients
