RT and Injuries Flashcards
Women are stronger than men in leg press. T/F?
True
Is spot reduction possible with RT?
NO
When is the best time to stretching when performing RT?
8 hours later after RT
The more you workout the less EMG at rest. T/F?
True
Too much exercise are cause amenorrhea?
True
RT can help decrease the progression of osteoporosis?
True
RT can result in lower C-section rates and shorter hospital stays?
True
Many older women over 65 can’t lift 10 lbs. T/F?
True
Sarcopenia
Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength
Dynapenia
Loss of strength
What is the major cause of disability?
Reduced muscle strength
What are the two components critical to prevent falls?
Strength and power
Age related impairments.
Decreased anaerobic threshold
Decrease joint ROM
Decreased aerobic, force, endurance, and power (1%/year)
Impaired coordination and speed
Impaired static and dynamic balance
Increase CV response, perception of effort, lactate response
What is a safe and effective way to determine max strength in older adults?
1-RM
What can be effective but may be influenced by muscular fatigue?
Multiple RMs
Multiple baseline assessments may be necessary for optimal strength eval. T/F?
True, due to familiarization… 1st time may be intimidated.
In 8 weeks older patients can increase strength on average by 174%. T/F?
True, neural adaptations. Won’t get increase size though… yet
How much protein is the RDA?
0.8 g/kg/day
How much is protein recommended in older adults?
1.0-1.25 g/kg/day
Inadequate dietary protein intake may be an important cause of sarcopenia
RT effects many systems in the body and can have a positive effect. T/F?
True
What body part is the most injured in RT?
Shoulder injuries
What percent of all injuries are muscle strains or ligament sprains?
40%
What are 4 things we should recognize with patients?
Lifting w/ poor mechanics or too quickly
LOC
Fatigue
Rushed w/ the lifting routine
Acute injuries
weight room accidents
improper warm-up
being overzealous
Chronic injury
acute injury that does not get better in a reasonable amount of time
Overuse injury
has gradual onset
Acute muscle strains and ruptures are painful and present with:
Limited ROM
Loss of strength
Tenderness
