Resistance Exercise Flashcards
Resistance that is provided by a PT or another HCP and cannot be measured quantitatively
Manual Resistance Exercise
resistance that is applied through use of equipment or mechanical apparatus and can be measured quantitatively and increased over time
mechanical resistance exercise
to increase strength
low reps, high load
to increase muscular endurance
low load, more reps, long periods of time
to increase power
more intensity in a less amount of time
precautions to resistance exercise
valsalva maneuver fatigue recovery from exercise overwork/overtraining substitute motions osteoporosis exercise induced muscle soreness
acute muscle soreness
develops during or directly after strenuous exercise performed to the point of fatigue
delayed onset muscle soreness
12-24 hours after exercise and peaks 24-48 hours after exercise
happens because of micro tears during lengthening of the muscle fibers
contraindications of resistance exercise
inflammation
pain - if a patient is experiencing pain before resistance
severe CPD
gradual increase of stress placed upon the body during exercise training so we can get muscle increase, or muscle endurance increase or power increase
progressive overload
when exercises in the program mimic the anticipated function
specificity
isometric muscle contraction
no change in muscle length
isokinetic
the speed and movement of a body part is controlled by a rate-limiting device
eccentric muscle contraction
lengthening of the muscle
concentric muscle contraction
shortening of the muscle
