MET Flashcards
Should I have increased P! with my exercises?
Mild P! increases OK with NON-acute or persistent:
-muscular strains
-Tendinopathies
-Apophysitis conditions
-Nociplastic conditions
What is the soreness rule:
P! increases during and up to 24 hours. after activity and no change in movement quality
It is ok for there to be pain with acute conditions? true or false?
false, NO
The act of tissue withstanding stress over a time period.
Endurance
What are optimal stresses of tissue?
Compression/decomposition for bone
Add gliding for articular cartilage and inner disc
What are tissues that love tension?
Capsule, ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, fibrocartilage,and outer disc
-controlled increased motion and speed
motor skill/coordination
-occur very early i.e. immediately to the first few sessions
-more and better fiber recruitment
-can occur at >50% 1 RM
-work to quick concentric, brief isometric hold, then slower eccentric action
motor skill/coordination
What is best for injury prevention?
muscle strength, force generation
Other purposes often need to be achieved before doing muscle strength training. True or False?
True
What achieves greater cross-bridging?
Power (plyometrics)
What is the second best injury prevention:
agility; higher level of coordination
-a product of speed and strength
Power
Manual therapy without exercise is useless as a method of increasing __________.
mobility
Exercise without manual therapy is useless as a method of increasing _______
stability
If you do not improve __________ __________ and _________, you won’t be successful and problem will recur and become persistent
neuromuscular function; mobility
MET prescription: # of exercises:
Start with ____ exercises plus a __________ aerobic component.
Progress to _____ exercises plus a _____ aerobic component.
3-5; shorter
8-12; longer
Muscle activation is the first thing you start with. No other characterictics can will be developed if the muscles can’t activate. True or False?
True
MET Prescription: Sets typically start with:
1-2x 10 and work up to 3x10
Reps and resistance based on:
Condition and type of targeted tissue and purpose
Reps should be increased before the load/resistance gets increased. True or False?
True
For ACUITY you should do ___-____ sets of ____ reps with _____ resistance
1-2; 10; light
For TENDONOSIS (NOT -itis): you should px ____ sets of ____-____reps with heavy resistance
3; 10-15
What are some indications that you should do isometric exercises:
-Unable to perform motion with even the lightest resistance
-P! modulating benefits
What are the parameters for isometrics: -reps and holds?
varied 3-5 reps of 10-45 sec. holds
