Ther-ex Flashcards
Organization of a muscle (4 steps)
sarcomere, myofibril, fibers, muscles
Type 1 muscle fibers
Slow twitch
Low force
Resistant to fatigue
Type 2a muscle fibers
Fast twitch
Fatigue resistant
Characteristics influenced by training
Type 2b muscle fibers
Fast twitch
High force
Quick fatigue
Order of muscle fiber recruitment
1, 2a, 2b
How long does it take before training will lead to hypertrophy?
6-8 wks
Muscle remodeling
Muscle fibers enlarge, containg more actin/myosin, and have more sarcomeres/larger myofibrils
Average ratio of fast/slow twitch muscle fibers
1:1
Muscle training at ___% of MVC blocks blood flow due to increased____, therefore the muscle uses ____ energy source
60%, intramuscular pressure, anaerobic
How long of rest is needed following vigorous exercise to return muscle to 90%+ of preexercise levels?
3-4 min.
Advantages of using manual resistance
1) judging force in weak pts
2) can be modified to accomodate pain
3) safe resistance if movement needs monitored
4) Can be changed to incorporate variable movements (PNF, etc)
Disadvantages of using manual resistance
1) no quantitative measurements
2) difficult to maintain same resistance
3) limited by strength of PT
Benefits of mechanical resistance
1) quantitative measurements
2) can use large loads
Disadvantages of mechanical resistance
1) not easily modified in terms of movement pattern
2) may be difficult to control weights in some pts
DOMS begins _____ after vigorous ex, and peaks at ____. Soreness and stiffness can last ____
12-24 hrs, 24-48 hrs, 5-7 days
Contraindications to strengthening exercise
Inflammation: resistance can increase swelling and damagae joints/muscles.
Pain:severe pain/ pain lasting 24 hrs (may need to reduce load)
Isometric exercise develops strength at (point of training/full ROM), and can (increase/decrease) blood pressure. The Valsalva manuever (should/should not) be used to increase performance
point of training, increase (therefore use with caution for cardiac patients), should not
Which form of resistance training can vary resistance through ROM, and therefore is safer for early resistance training/rehabilitation: free weights, or machines?
machines
Isokinetic training can provide ____ resistance at all points of ROM
maximum
Which can produce higher forces, concentric or eccentric?
eccentric
Rep ranges
endurance: <70% MVC, 12-20 reps, 20-30s rest
Hypertrophy: 70-80% MVC, 8-12 reps, 30-120s rest
Strength: 80-100% MVC, 1-8 reps, 2-5 min rest
Mechanreceptors are stimulate by (open/closed) chain exercise, which adds to ___, ___, ___, and ___
closed,
joint stability, balance, coordination, agility
