Program Design Flashcards
Program design includes:
o Types of exercises, their duration, frequency, intensity
o total time spent training
o short & long-term goals
o ways to maintain motivation
- Arthritis is:
joint inflammation or damage
o Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid most common
o Objective: restore joint function
o Best accomplished by having 1-2 sessions daily, extending warm-ups and decreasing intensity and duration in times of inflammation and increased pain
- Osteoporosis
a disease that makes bones and joints fragile
o Men over 80 and women over 65 may have undiagnosed osteoporosis
o Aging populations have decreased ability to regulate fluid balances in response to dehydration and thirst—be sure to educate and monitor fluid intake
Signs of dysfunctional breathing
, breathing pattern is shallow; doesn’t make use of diaphragm, and can develop into a long-term bad habit
ATP
adenosine triphosphate
- Typical storage and transfer unit of energy
- ATP is capable of storing large amounts of energy, but supply in each cell is limited and cell must have time to produce more to keep performing
o 3 Bioenergetic Pathways to Produce ATP
1) ATP—creatine phosphate pathway (ATP-CP or Phosphagen System) is anaerobic.
2) The glycolic pathway is anaerobic
3) The oxidative pathway is aerobic; requires presence of oxygen
What are the 3 parts of the kinetic chain?
muscular
articular (joints)
neural systems
What does the kinetic chain control?
refers to the sensorimotor integration of these systems for motor output
the interrelated groups of body segments, connecting joints, and muscles working together to perform movements and the portion of the spine to which they connect.
o If one system doesn’t work efficiently, compensations occur in the other ones… can lead to tissue overload, decreased performance, & predictable patterns of injury
Force couples
2 or more muscles on opposing sides of a joint work together to provide joint stability or create movement
Factors to consider when designing flexibility training
joint structure, the condition of soft tissue around joints, & length of muscles being stretched
- 3 Primary Resistance Goals:
o Hypertrophy- the increase in muscle mass or size
o Strength
o Muscle endurance
Plyometrics:
- Based on using the elastic property of muscles to create a greater force
- Plyometrics is the use of a strength-shortening cycle & begins with a rapid stretching (eccentric) followed by shortening of same muscle (concentric)
Maximal Heart Rate Formula:
220 – age of client = est max HR
- Lower Limit of Client’s Training HR Range:
Est max HR x percentage (60%) - Upper Limit of HR client should achieve:
Est max HR x percentage (80%)
Stroke volume:
Amount of blood pumped by heart with each contraction of the ventricle.
Typical SV is 75-80 mL per heartbeat & typical HR is 70-80 beats per minute
Cardiac output—
amount of blood pumped per minute through arteries to all tissues of the body
CO = stroke volume x heart rate
Exercise intensity measurement :
consists of the amount of oxygen consumed during
exercise and the number of calories burned.
Heart rate reserve:
is the difference between the client‘s resting heart rate and their maximum heart rate.
In healthy adults, the aerobic level necessary to see improvement is between 50% and 80% of the heart rate reserve
MET :
MET is a ratio of your working metabolic rate relative to your resting metabolic rate. Metabolic rate is the rate of energy expended per unit of time. It’s one way to describe the intensity of an exercise or activity.
One MET is the energy you spend sitting at rest — your resting or basal metabolic rate. So, an activity with a MET value of 4 means you’re exerting four times the energy than you would if you were sitting still.
Measuring Caloric Use
(METs x 3.5 x bodyweight in kilograms)/
200 = calories used per minute
- Typical oxygen consumption is 45-80 mL or 11-23 METS
- Max testing not feasible for trainer, so subliminal testing is used
Submaximal tests exist that can give a sense of
intensity of workouts. These include:
- Rockport Walk Test
- Step Test
- Field Protocols
Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale:
a useful if subjective tool. The scale numbers
are usually from 6 to 20 but other numbers are
used as well. The RPE scale measures feelings
of effort, strain, discomfort and fatigue during
aerobic and resistance training.
It was developed by the Swedish psychologist
Gunner Borg and is sometimes called the Borg
Scale. Y
Resistance exercise:
refers to the protocol for a single exercise or workout.
Resistance training:
refers to the combination
of many consecutive sessions.
SAID principle:
is Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. An example of SAID is increasing the number of repetitions to increase
muscle endurance
overload principle:
states that as adaptation
of the muscle or muscles to a stimulus are made,
an increased stimulus is required for further
improvement. The overload principle is the idea
that each workout should place a progressively
higher demand on the muscle or muscles that
are targeted in order to get results
Brzycki Formula:
to predict the client’s 1 rep
max.
What energy system is used in resistance training?
ATP=creatice posphate. It is used up quicly and needs time to replenish
Isokinetic
relating to muscular action with a constant rate of movement. The more you push, the more
resistance you get from the device.
Popular in rehabilitation.
the phases of periodization?
microphases, mesophases and macrophases.
Microphases are up to seven days and one should
occur at least every four weeks. Mesophases
are anywhere from two weeks to a few months.
Four to six mesophases should occur in a year.
The more mesophases that a
training period includes, the
more effective the training
program will be. Macrophase refers to the whole training program and usually consists
of a year
The sub-phases in mesophases:
preparation, competition, peaking and transition.
Type of periodization:
-Traditional periodization involves varying volume and intensity in a patterned way.
-Stepwise periodization is the use of increasing intensity while decreasing volume of exercise during the training
-undulating periodization, volume and intensity are increased and decreased but not in a traditional pattern
-Overreaching periodization consists of varying
the volume or the intensity over a short period
of time (one to two weeks) and then returning
to the normal training program
