Resistance Training: Types (wk 6) Flashcards
What type of exercise is a dynamic exercise against constant external resistance (DCER) (isotonic)?
Constant resistant exercises
What is the limitation of DCER?
working muscle is only maximally challenged at one point during the arc of motion
What is the current main form of exercise prescription utilized?
Constant resistant exercises (DCER)
What type of resistance is hydraulic or pneumatic machines that impose variable levels of resistance using a pulley and weight system?
Variable resistance
Elastic band exercises can broadly be considered what type of resistance training?
Variable resistance
What type of resistance is when velocity of resistance is kept constant throughout the entire joint’s range of motion (therefore the velocity of the muscle shortening or lengthening is kept constant during exercise)?
Isokinetic
Pros of isokinetic training:
- Can exercise at a wide range of velocities
- Specific velocities of training that correlate to specific tasks and function
- Concentric and/or eccentric contractions
- The resistance applied = the force being applied by the extremity, this may allow for patient to perform increased # of repetitions as fatigue begins to set in
- Accommodate exercise to pain, less resistance through the painful arc, but still allowing for repetitions to occur
Cons of isokinetic training:
- Limited evidence of how this training carries over into function
- Isolation of a single muscle and is uniplanar
- Does not involve weight bearing
- Patient cannot typically carry over isokinetic programs
Open chain exercise -
Distal segments are free to move in space without necessitating simultaneous motions at other joints
Closed chain exercise -
motions where body moves on distal segments that is fixed or stabilized on a support surface; typically performed in weight bearing positions
T/F Evidence supports use of both open and closed chain exercises in your treatment planning and intervention, since functional daily activities incorporate both types of movement
True
Open chain or closed chain?
May be superior in isolating one muscle group
Open
Open chain or closed chain?
greater level of control (more advantage in early stages of rehab)
Open
Open chain or closed chain?
Increased likelihood for substitution due to multiple joints moving
Close
Open chain or closed chain?
Option for those who have limited weight bearing status
open
