Week 7- Exercise Prescription Flashcards
PART 1: EXERCISE GUIDELINES AND FITT PRINCIPLE
PART 1: EXERCISE GUIDELINES AND FITT PRINCIPLE
Exercise Guidelines (ALL):
- Avoid ________.
- _____m/week of MODERATE intensity exercise OR _____m/week of VIGOROUS intensity.
- _____m/week for additional health benefits.
- Muscle strengthening activities ___ days per week.
- Avoid inactivity.
- 150m/week MODERATE OR 75m/week VIGOROUS.
- 300m/week for additional health benefits.
- Muscle strengthening 2 or more days/week.
How are the exercise guideline for patients with chronic illness different?
- Should adhere to guideline for healthy adults (150m/week) if possible.
- Engage in physical activity according to abilities and health status, avoid inactivity.
How are the exercise guidelines for older adults different?
- If you cannot do 150m/week, be as active as you can.
- Should do exercises than maintain/improve balance if at risk for falling.
Is there a dose response to exercise training?
Yes
What does the FITT Principle stand for?
- Frequency
- Intensity
- Time (duration)
- Type (mode)
What does the Threshold Model state?
Achieve SUFFICIENT physiological challenge to bring about adaptive changes/training effects, reconditioning.
Frequency:
- What is frequency?
- What is the recommended frequency for physical activity?
- Frequency = Number of days/week dedicated to an exercise program.
- 3-5 days/week MODERATE, 3 days/week VIGOROUS, 3-5 days/week COMBINATION
Intensity:
- What is intensity?
- What numbers are needed to estimate exercise intensity? (3)
- What are some ways we can express exercise intensity? (6)
- Intensity = How hard one is working.
- HRmax, HRR, target heart range (THR)
- ) % of VO2max/estimated VO2max
- ) % of estimated HRmax
- ) % of estimated HRR***
- ) % of 6MWT distance
- ) % of 1RM
- ) RPE: 12-14 or 5-6***
What are (3) ways to estimate age specific HRmax?
Traditional Method
-220-age
Tanaka
-207-(0.7*age)
Inbar
-205.8-(0.685*age)
- ________ is the range through which your heart rate can vary.
- What is the equation for it?
- HRR
- HRR = HRmax-HRrest
- How is exercise intensity expressed?
- What does this yield?
- Expressed as a fraction (%) of the HRR.
- Yields the target heart range (THR).
Intensity Levels:
Light Intensity
- ___-___% HRR
- ___-___ RPE
- _______ breathing
Moderate Intensity
- ___-___% HRR
- ___-___ RPE
- _______ breathing
High Intensity
- ___-___% HRR
- ___-___ RPE
- _______ breathing
Light Intensity
- 30-40% HRR
- 1-3 RPE
- NORMAL breathing
Moderate Intensity
- 40-60% HRR
- 4-5 RPE
- ELEVATED breathing
High Intensity
- 60-90% HRR
- 5-7 RPE
- HEAVY breathing
Type:
- What are some questions to ask when determining type of exercise? (4)
- Should exercises involve large or small muscle groups?
- Dont forget “_______”. Patient must enjoy the selected activities.
- ) What is available?
- ) WHAT DOES THE PATIENT WANT TO DO?
- ) What is SAFE for the patient?
- ) Aerobic AND (not or) strength training.
- primarily large muscle groups
- “activities”
Time:
- What is meant when referring to time?
- When should we utilize shorter periods with greater frequencies?
- What is the long term goal relating to exercise time?
- Total amount of time spent exercising.
- Utilize shorter periods with greater frequencies in less fit patients.
- Long term goal is 30m/day continuous exercise resulting in 150m/week of moderate exercise.
