Resistive Exercises

Question 1

3 Things you can expect to achieve with a resistive Ex. program

Answer 1

1. Increased strength
2. Increase endurance.
3. Increased Power

Question 2

What is the required frequency of training?

Answer 2

2-3 MOD exercises x30min.

Question 3

2 Types of resistive ex. regimens

Answer 3

1. DeLorme Technique.

2. Oxford Technique.

Question 4

Describe 3 characteristics of the DeLorme Technique

Answer 4

1. Determine RM (Repetition Max.) at 10 reps.
2. 10 Reps at 50%, 10 at 75%, 10 at full RM.
3. Brief rest BTW 3 set.

Question 5

Describe the Oxford Technique

Answer 5

Reverse of DeLorme: 10 at full RM, 10 at 75%, 10 at 50%.

Decreases the effects of fatigue.

Question 6

5 Precautions for Resistive Ex’s.

Answer 6

1. Cardiovascular (watch for pt. holding their breath)
2. Fatigue & Recovery from fatigue.
3. Substitutions (poor technique)
4. Osteoporosis
5. Muscle Soreness.

Question 7

3 Types of Resistance Ex.’s

Answer 7

1. Isotonic (Dynamic)
2. Isokinetic
3. Isometric

Question 8

1. Describe Isotonic Ex.’s

2. Provide an Example

Answer 8

1. Carried out against a constant of variable loads as muscle lengthens or shortens through the available ROM.
2. Free Weights

Question 9

1. Describe Isokinetic Ex.’s

2. Provide an Example

Answer 9

1. Form of dynamic ex. in which the velocity of muscle shortening or lengthening is controlled by a rate limiting device that controls the speed of mvt.
2. Cybrex Machine

Question 10

1. Describe Isometric Ex’s.

2. Provide an Example

Answer 10

1. Static form of ex. that occurs when a muscle contracts without an appreciable change in the length of the muscle.
   * MUST be done at multiple angles.
2. Pushing into the wall with a fist below 90 degrees of flexion for 6 second.

Question 11

2 Therapeutic Methods Used to Elongate Soft Tissue

Answer 11

1. Manual: passive stretching applies by the therapist x15-30 seconds, then followed by AROM.
   2, Mechanical: Low internsity external force is applied to shorten tissues over a prolonged period of time: Dynamic splints, serial casts, contract & relax, self stretching.

Question 12

How can you increase muscle endurance?

Answer 12

By preforming active exercises repeatedly against a MOD load to the point of fatigue.

Question 13

How can you increase muscle strength?

Answer 13

By preforming progressive resistive exercises for 10 resp x2-3 sets until fatigued. Gradually increase weight or amount of reps.

Question 14

Main sign of muscle fatigue

Answer 14

Pt. loses their quality of Mvt.

Question 15

What are the changes to the muscular, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems that occur when doing cardiovascular fitness?
(3 descriptive points)
(Potential essay question)

Answer 15

1. Immediate Changes: increased blood flow to muscles, heart rate increases, arterial pressure, O2 demand and consumption and rate and depth of respiration increases.
2. Adaptive Changes: Long Term: Density of capillary bed increases which increases the O2 available and increased efficiency of the heart.
3. As endurance increases the resting heart rate decreases as well as return to normal time shortness.
