Therapeutic Interventions Flashcards
which muscle fiber type has the highest force production
type IIx
what is the order of recruitment for muscle fibers
ST–> FT IIa–> FT IIx
how long does hypertrophy take
6-8 weeks
muscular endurance training can lead to
increased capillary density, increased mitochondrial density, increased APT stores, increased bone density, decreased body fat percentage
general muscle fatigue is a result of
depleted potassium, depleted glycogens stores in muscle and liver and low blood sugar
what is brief repetitive isometric exercise
up to 20 max contractions held for 5-6 seconds, 20 second rest after each contraction, see strength gains in 6 weeks
when is muscular endurance training indicated
after joint and soft tissue injuries (low load and high reps) is more confortable
how fast can you lose cardiovascular endurance
1-2 weeks
how do you find target heart rate for exercise
THR=HR max- RHR (HRR) x %, want to work at 60-80%
recovery from exercise induced asthma
reduce intensity and allow patient to breathe through their nose, or exercise in humid conditions
what is the best way to improve endurance (aerobic) in healthy individuals
continuous training
acclimazation in altitude results in
decrease plasma volume and increase in total red blood cells, increase in hemoglobin
acclimation to training in the heat: how long does it take and what is the effect?
10 days, exercise capacity increases, CO is better regulated, sweating is more efficient and this doesn’t tend to deteriorate with age
what characterizes a neutral pelvis
ASIS level or slightly lower than the PSIS
what PNF techniques can be used for postural stability
stabilizing reversals or rhythmic stabilization
