Resistance Training Exercise Prescription Flashcards
What occurs during the ASK stage?
Gathering info about client
What is the assess stage for?
assessing relevant aspects of fitness.
What happens during the advise/agree stage?
Advise and agreement on an action plan is set.
What is the assist phase for?
Assisting client with potential barriers and motivation levels
What kinds of things should you know about the client for the ASK phase?
medical hx, goals, training hx, time available, preferences, comfort level, injuries, nutrition, activity style of exercises, do they have support system, what kind of career do they have, barriers they might come across.
How would you assess movement mobility?
Watching their gait, overhead press, ability to get up/down, all body movements: do knees track over toes, any imbalances. Can they step up or lunge.
What are the minimum requirements for an assessment?
Pre exercise HR/BP and WC/Wt/Ht to determine BMI
What are the HR and BP ceilings?
HR <100; BP< 160/90
How long has a beginner/novice been RT?
<2 months
What would be the goal of a program for novice RT? How frequent should they workout?
Technique then goal. 1-2x week.
How long has an intermediate RT been active? What would be the goal of their program and how frequently should they workout?
2-6 months; create a solid base and workout 2-3x/week.
How long has someone been RT to be designated as advanced? What might be the goal of their program? How frequently should they workout?
> or = 1 years. Ready for neural strength or plyometrics; 3-4+ x/week.
When in the advise/agree stage what should you introduce/reintroduce regarding the basic training principles?
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.
What is an active warm up?
Low intensity exercise that prepares the body for more intense PA. Ideally warming up through ROM of program exercises.
What does RAMP stand for?
Raise
Activate
Mobilize
Potentiate
What is the raise stage for?
General warm up. Increasing metabolic markers such as HR/Breathing rate. Gets blood pumping.
What is the activate stage for?
Waking muscles up and moving from sedentary state to increased activity, activates key muscle groups about to be used.
What is the mobilize stage for?
Making sure joints are limber to move through ROM free of pain
What is the potentiate phase?
Starting to slowly increase intensity to get to working intensity. Increasing weight/reps as you go. Also the performance stage where post-activation potentiation is priming muscles for maximum strength and power.
What is the purpose of a cool-down?
Gradual decrease in intensity over a 5-10 minute period to get HR below 100bpm
What benefits do a cool-down have?
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.
What does FITT stand for?
Frequency- # sessions per week
Intensity- %1-RM or Reps Max
Time- sets, reps, rest, tempo
Type- exercise selection, equipment.
What is the FITT principle for Strength?
F- 2-3x full or half body split I- (%1 RM)- 80-100% Reps: 1-8 Sets: 3-6 Rest: 2-3mins T- Slow, controlled T- <10secs for duration of one set. method of progression is loading.
What is the FITT principle for Hypertrophy?
F- 3-6x/half body 1-3x muscle group split I- (%1 RM) 70-85% Sets: 2-5, Reps: 6-12, Rest: 1-2mins Tempo- Slow-moderate Time- 10-30seconds Method of progression: Reps then load.
What is the FITT principle for Endurance?
F- 2-3x/full or half body split
I- %1RM: 50-75%
Sets: 2-3, Reps: >12-15, 15-25, rest: 0-1min
Tempo- slow <10-15 reps, mod-fast >15 reps
Time- 30-60+secs for one set.
Method of progression is reps or set.
