Resistance Training Flashcards

1
Q
  • What exercises is a weightbelt recommended for?
  • What exercises are a weightbelt not needed for?
  • What is the advantage of the using a weight belt?
  • What is disadvantage?
A
  • Recommended for ground-based, structural exercises that involve lifting maximal or near-maximal loads
  • Not needed for exercises that do not directly load the trunk even if it places stress on the lower back
    • (Lat pull down, bench press, biceps curl, leg extension)
  • Shown increase intra abdominal pressure during performance of resistance training
  • Muscles of the lowerback and abdomen may become unaccustomed to supporting the torso

Q
  • What 4 exercises require a spotter? Give recommendations for how to spot each type.
  • What are 3 reasons for spotting clients?
    • Protect athlete from injury
    • Motivate athlete
    • Help with completion of forced repetitions
  • What height recommendations for spotters and OH/F exercises?
A
  • 3 Reasons
    1. Protect athlete from injury
    2. Motivate athlete
    3. Help with completion of forced repetitions
  1. Overhead (standing shoulder press)
  2. Over the face (bench press, lying triceps extension)
    • Spotter use alternated grip between clients hands for barbell, stagger feet
    • Spot client’s wrists close to dumbbell
  3. With bar on upper back and shoulders (back squat)
    • Stand very close behind client and pre prepared to hug and lift
  4. With bar on front of shoulder/clavicles (front squat)
    • Same as back squat
  5. Never spot power exercises
  • to assist in spotting over the head/face exercises the PT must be at least as tall as the client, or exercise must be modified

Q

Describe the proper spotting form for

  • Barbell over the head/face exercises
  • Freeweights over head/face exercises
  • Where should the hands of the PT be placed when spotting over the head/face dumbbell exercises (1 dumbbell)
  • Where should safety crossbars be placed in squat rack?
A
  • Over face/head
    • close, alternated grip
    • stand as close as possible w/o being a distraction
    • flat back, and feet flat on the floor
    • use a staggered stance when possible
  • Freeweights
    • Same as above, spot the client’s writs, not the weights
  • Place on bottom part of DB, part closet to floor
  • Just before the lowest position the bar will reach during the downward movement phase

Q
  • Constant resistance = define
    • _ _ = any object with fixed mass _ on its motion
    • Machines = like free weights, but _ is restricted in some way. Resistance paths can be _ or _
  • Variable Resistance = define
    • Machines: machines that use variable _ to change resistance _. Greatest _ when lever _ to floor
    • Chains = a method used on _ to _ during lift. _ of lift = _. Adding chains _ resistance as _

  • Accommodating resistance
    • Iso_ _= control _, control _ of _
    • Flywheels = _
    • _ resistance = uses _ to _/_ _ through _ ; movements _ _
A
  • Constant resistance = weight/resistant remains constant throughout exercise
    • Free weights = any object with fixed mass not constrained on its motion
    • Machines = like free weights, but motion is restricted in some way. Resistance paths can be linear or angular
  • Variable Resistance = change in resistance throughout the range of motion
    • Machines: machines that use variable cams to change resistance throughout range of motion. Greatest present when lever parallel to floor
    • Chains = a method used on barbells to vary resistance during lift. Bottom of lift = heaviest. Adding chains increases resistance as bar is raised
    • Elastic materials = springs, tubing, stretch bands. Further stretch = higher resistance
  • Accommodating resistance
    • Isokinetic dynamometers = control movement speeds, control kinematic variables of angular velocity
    • Flywheels = pull cord to rotate disk
    • Fluid resistance = uses piston to push and pull fluid through cylinder; movements under water

    2. Inhale _, hold during _
  • Risks of Valsalva maneuver
    • Creates _
    • Not for folks with (4) conditions clients
A
  • General breathing recommendations
    • Exhale = sticking point (concentric portion),
    • Inhale = less stressful portion (eccentric portion)
  • Valsalva maneuver = holding breath during rep.
    1. Inhale during eccentric, hold during concentric
    2. Inhale prior to rep, hold during eccentric
  • Risks
    • Creates intra-abdominal pressure.
    • Not for folks with cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic condition or pregnant clients

Q
  • Why are free weights preferable to machines? (2)

  2. Simulation of real-life activities
