Q

When in the advise/agree stage what should you introduce/reintroduce regarding the basic training principles?

A

Determine which principle to start with, eg. progressive overload, specificity, hard/easy, and explain how important rest & recovery is. Discuss warm up/cool downs, that each set should be completed to fatigue/near fatigue, that each exercise should be performed through full ROM and to breathe normally.

Q

What benefits do a cool-down have?

A

Maintains venous return to heart and brain, hastens removal of lactate, decreases the risk of muscle cramping/spasms, maintains large blood supply to muscles and allows for gradual decline of HR, O2, and temperature.

26
Q

What are some acute program variables?

A

Exercise selection, Intensity and volume, rest intervals, lifting velocity, and frequency.

27
Q

What should you consider when making exercise selections?

A

are they compound or isolation, is it total body or split program, are the balanced (agonist/antagonist), what equipment choices are available, is it going to be movement based (functional?) or muscle based(isolated).

28
Q

When creating the exercise order what should be considered?

A
  • 1 exercise should be per major movement pattern (eg. Horizontal push/pull, vertical push/pull, quad & hip/hamstring dominant, core). - - Complete compound exercises before assistance exercises
  • other variations could be alternate upper/lower body, alternate agonist/antagonist.
29
Q

What is a closed chain exercise with examples?

A

When hands and feet are in a fixed position and the force applied is NOT great enough to overcome resistance.
- ex. squat/deadlift/pull up.

30
Q

What is an open chain exercise?

A

When hands/feet are free to move and the force applied IS great enough to overcome resistance. Often isolation based exercises.
- ex. Leg press: pushing away from body, distal end is moving. OR Lat pull down.

31
Q

What are compound exercises?

A

Incorporate multiple joints and muscle groups.

32
Q

Why would you choose compound exercises?

A

Time efficient, functional movements that can apply to ADL and/or sport. They produce most force and allow for more neuromuscular adaptations with increased metabolic and hormonal functions.

33
Q

Why would you choose isolation based exercises?

A

To specify targets not fatigued in compound movements. They maximize fatigue for specific groups and are good for improving imbalances/weakness. Can also be easier to perform especially for older adult stability.

34
Q

What would be some pros for a total body workout?

A

Hit muscle groups multiple x’s a week; more compound exercises; time efficient. Allow sense of accomplishment, total body fatigue and adequate recovery is possible.

35
Q

What are some cons of total body workouts?

A

Less specific; not able to fully fatigue muscles or overload specific muscle groups, not great for advanced levels; lack intensity compared to splits.

36
Q

What are pros of a split workout?

A

Targets more individual groups, allows for better muscle recovery, increased intensity for muscle groups.

37
Q

Cons of Split workouts?

A

Frequency of training groups is lower, more soreness, potential to miss workout if life interrupts.

38
Q

What are the 6 fundamental movement patterns?

A
Squat
Hip hinge/DL
lunge
push
pull
rotation
39
Q

What would be a squat movement as a regression, general population and progression?

A

box or chair squats, trx squat, leg press;
goblet squat, BW squat;
BB squat(back/front), jump squats

40
Q

What would be a regression, gen pop, and progression for hip hinge/deadlift?

A

banded hinge, glute bridge, dowel/light weight DL, partial ROM RDL;
single leg deadlifts w no weight, moderate weight DL;
Hip thrust, full ROM DL & variations.

41
Q

What would be a lunge regression, general pop movement, and progression?

A

Step up (add load), split squat, static lunge;
farmers carry, resisted lunges;
weighted lunge, jump lunge, narrow Base of support.

42
Q

Push exercises with regressions/general population/ progressions for overhead/anterior/downward movements:

A
Wall slide (banded), machine
DB/KB/BB exercises
wall push up progressing to horizontal p/u
tricep dip out of chair
cable push downs
assissted/unassisted dip
43
Q

Pull exercises for overhead, backwards pull, and pull up:

A

OH: Band pulldown, lat pulldown, assisted pull up w band/full body.
BW: band, seated row, cable machine, DB/BB
PU: Delt pull up.

44
Q

What kind of exercises would you suggest for rotation and anti-rotation movements?

A

plank, pallof press, cable chop/lift, bird dog/ dead bug.

45
Q

What is the primary measure of intensity during a workout?

A

Workload

46
Q

Workload has 3 components, what are they?

A

Resistance lifted, # sets/reps, tempo.

47
Q

What is %1 RM?

A

Repetitions prescribed based on percentage of one repetition maximum.

48
Q

What is RM?

A

Exercise performed with a weight that would allow a given number of reps but no more. Done until fatigue.

49
Q

What is a set?

A

series of consecutive reps, with the optimal # depending on training goals.

50
Q

What are continuous straight sets?

A

Same set repeated with same resistance.

51
Q

What are supersets?

A

alternating agonist/antagonist or upper/lower body; usually no rest between sets.

52
Q

What is a circuit?

A

Exercises done one after the other; then circuit is repeated; little to no rest between exercises.

53
Q

What are compound sets?

A

2-3 exercises targeting same muscle groups.

54
Q

What is a pyramid set?

A

Continuous set; resistance increases or decreases over each set.

55
Q

What do you need to consider when planning rest intervals?

A

training intensity, goals, fitness level, targeted energy system utilization, muscle groups involved, equipment available, time needed to change weights & move to next station.

56
Q

How long is a general rest between maximal strength sets?

A

2-3 minutes

57
Q

How long is rest between muscular hypertrophy sets?

A

1-2mins

58
Q

How long is rest during muscular endurance sets?

A

0-1min

59
Q

What should you consider when choosing rest times?

A

Volume, intensity, muscle mass being recruited and motivation.

60
Q

What does tempo affect when considering repetition velocity?

A

neural, hypertrophic and metabolic responses to training.

61
Q

What is the typical tempo for exercises? What could a slow tempo be? How would this affect exercises?

A

2(concentric)-1(isometric pause)-2(eccentric). 4-0-4. Slowing the tempo will cause fatigue thus challenging the muscle more, in less reps but longer sets.

62
Q

What variations should you consider when planning frequency?

A

training goals, level of conditioning, recovery ability, nutritional intake.

63
Q

How long is the optimal rest between muscle group workouts?

A

36-48hrs with appropriate nutrition/recovery.

64
Q

What does variation provide to untrained beginners?

A

reduces boredom, lowers risk of overtraining/injuries, helps maintain training intensity, stimulates muscle fiber recruitment in different ways.
