Opt basic Flashcards
OPT MODEL - main definition
Foundation of principles that progressively and systematically allows any client to achieve optimal levels of the 3 P’s- Physiologic, physical and performance adaptation.
OPT Physiologic Benefits
- Improves cardio respiratory efficiency
- Enhances beneficial endocrine (hormone) and serum lipid (cholesterol) adaptations
- ^ metabolic efficiency (metabolism)
- ^ bone density
OPT physical benefits
- decrease body fat
- ^ lean body mass (muscle)
- ^ tissue tensile strength (tendons, ligaments and muscles)
OPT Performance Benefits
- Strength
- flexibility
- Power
- Endurance
- Speed
- Agility
- Balance
OPT 5 phases
Power - phase 5
Strength- phase 4, 3 and 2
Stabilization - phase 1
OPT MODEL - 3 levels of training
- Stabilization - Phase 1
- Strength - Phase 2, 3 and 4
- Power - Phase 5
Phase 1 - Stabilization - Main Definition
To increase muscular endurance and stability.While developing optimal neuromuscular efficency (coordination).
Stabilization - Proprioceptiviely Based
Difficulty is increased by introducting a greater challange to the balance and stabilization systems of the body (simply increase the load ) ex. regular push up then adding a balance ball to the push up.
Stabilization & Neuromuscular effiency
only be obtained by having the appropriate combination of proper alignment (Posture) of the human movement system (Kineticchain) and stabilization strenght necessary to alignment.
When should stabilization training be done?
Before Strength and Power Training
Inefficient stabilization can negatively affect what?
- The way force is produced
- Increase stress at the joints
- Overload the soft tissues
- Can cause injury
Stabilization endurance training does?
- Address Structural deficeincies
2. Alter body composition (reduce body fat)
What fashion should stabilzation be done in?
Performed in circuit fashion (short rest periods) with high reps.
Proprioceptively enriched environment means?
controlled and unstable , the body is forced to recruit more muscles to stabilize itself.
Goals of Stabilization
- improve muscular endurance
- Enhance joint stability
- Increase flexibility
- Improve neuromuscular efficiency (balance, stabilization, and muscular coordination.
Training Strategies of Stabilization
- Training in unstable, yet controlled environments (proprioceptively enriched)
- Low sets, high reps
Muscle Endurance
Muscles ability to contract for an extended period.
Neuromuscular efficiency
ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion.
When do you incorporate the strength level ?
After complete stabilization training.
Emphasis of strength training?
maintain stabilization endurance while increase of prime movers strength.
Prime Mover
The muscle that acts as the initial and main source of motive power.
Strength (level of training)
- hypertrophy (increase muscle size)
2. max strength (lifting heavy loads)
How many phases are in the strength level?
3
What are the phases for the strength level?
- Phase 2 - strength endurance training
- Phase 3 - Hypertrophy Training
- Phase 4 - Max strength training
What is Phase two of Strength ?
Strength endurance training . Goal is to enhance stabilization endurance while increase prime mover strength.
How many exercises should be done in the Phase 2 (strength endurance level)?
Two exercises in superset sequence (back to back ). ex
strength exercise like bench press and then 2nd exercise push up on stability ball
