Non Specific Exercise Flashcards
What is the cortical mediated effects of non specific exercise?
Endogenous opioids (endorphins)
What is the immune response to non specific exercise?
Systemic inflammation changes
What is the activation of nociceptive pathways in non specific exercise?
Triggers descending inhibition
What is the activation of stress response in non specific exercise?
Releases adrenaline and cortisol
Activates inhibitory interneurons at the dorsal horn
Increases cerebral blood flow
What is behavior modification in non specific exercise?
Increased activation of cortical structures
Increased frontal cortex blood flow
Facilitation of motor cortex
What do non specific effects of acute exercise modulate?
Pain and behavior
How can modulation of pain and behavior occur through non specific exercise?
Cortical
Immune response
Activation of nociceptive pathways
Activation of stress response
How can non specific effects be elicited?
Through endurance and resistance exercise (must be done at high intensities)
What 3 levels does manual therapy elicit changes at?
Local
Spinal
Supraspinal
What are the local changes of manual therapy?
Tissues and peripheral nervous system
What are the spinal changes of manual therapy?
Muscle activity and pain modulation
What are the supraspinal changes of manual therapy?
Pain experience
Descending modulation
Psychosocial
Autonomic
