Rehabilitation Flashcards
What 4 factors are important when planning an exercise rehab programme?
Frequency
Intensity
Timing
Type
What is frequency?
Number of training periods
What is the aim of frequency?
Overload the tissue and challenge it further than day to day activities
What happens if the frequency is too great?
Doesn’t allow for tissue adaptation
What happens to tissue during training and rest?
Training = tissue is challenged Rest = adaptation occurs
What is the intensity of an exercise?
Relevant to how hard an exercise is
How is strength training intensity measured?
Measured in weight compared to BW
How is cardio/aerobic training intensity measured?
Measured by pulse rate or VO2 max
What are the 3 health related fitness components of a rehab programme?
Stamina
Suppleness (flexibility)
Strength
What does stamina relate to?
Cardiopulmonary system
Local muscle endurance
Why is it important to restore CP fitness in aerobic training?
Prevent injury due to fatigue
Why is local muscle endurance important?
Important in holding exercise and stability training
What are the 3 types of suppleness/flexibility?
Static
Dynamic
PNF (proprioception neuromuscular facilitation)
What are the 3 parts of strength?
Concentric
Eccentric
Isometric
What is concentric strength?
Force generating - accelerating
What is eccentric strength?
Accept force - decelerating
What is isometric strength?
Holds a joint (often co-concentric)
What are the psychological factors involved in rehab?
+ve/-ve outlook - motivation
Anxiety/stress with regards to injury
Emotional reaction to injury
What are the 3 psychological phases of response to injury?
Injury focused (questions injury, understanding) Behavioural changes (agitated, self-pity) Acceptance (+ve focused on rehab and return to activity)
What is speed?
How fast we move
How quickly we react
What is power?
How quickly we can move a resistance
Why is specificity of training important?
Provides the means for adaptation which can be physiological or neurological
- physiological (muscle)
Neurological (patterns of movement)
