Module 1 lecture intro to Kin Flashcards
planned physical activity used to restore
or improve physical function and health
Therapeutic exercise
Key goals of therapeutic exercise
Improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance.
Promote functional independence in daily activities
Therex continuum
preventive, restorative, health promotion
Foundational principles of exercise science
progressive overload, said principle, individualization, reversibility
progressive overload definition
Exercise intensity should progressively increase to continue
improving fitness and performance.
Progressive overload application
Adjusting training parameters and variables (e.g., intensity,
volume, duration) to gradually challenge the body as
adaptations occur.
After a few weeks of consistent training, the exercise load should be increased to stimulate further adaption, this is an example of what …
progressive overload
SAID principle, SAID stands for what?
specific adaptation to imposed demands
how does one arrive at specific adaptation in this 3 step pyramid
- Mirroring movements, training should mimic the target activity
- Training alignment, training should match the desired goals
- Specific adaptation, the body adapts to the type of training performed
individualization definition , application, example
Exercise programs must be tailored to the unique needs, goals, and fitness levels of each individual
Adjusting frequency, intensity, and types of exercise based on age, fitness level, injury history, and specific goals.
Example
A rehabilitation program for a knee injury in sedentary individuals attempting to return to ADL’s will differ from a program designed for an
elite athlete.
Reversibility definition application and example
Definition
Gains in strength, endurance, or muscle size will be lost when the training stimulus is removed or
reduced.
2
Application
Consistency is key. Detraining occurs rapidly when exercise is reduced or stopped,
especially for aerobic fitness.
3
Example
After a break from training, muscle strength and endurance
decline, and cardiovascular fitness decreases.
FITT - VP framework, frequency
how often an exercise is performed
FITT - VP, intensity
how hard the intensity is
FITT-VP, TIME
how long the exercise lasts
FITT VP, type
the modality of exercise
I.e. aerobic, resistance
