Week 8 Flashcards
What to consider with resistance training prescription
- Why is client exercising
- what are the client’s goals
- how much time do they have available
- time availability as well as access to equipment
FITT for resistance training
Frequency: sessions/week
Intensity: %1-RM, RM, sets and reps
Time: Overall duration
Type: specific exercises; equipment
Training volume: wt lifted x reps x sets (5-10%)
General intensity classifications for resistance activities
- Very light effort: <30
- Light effort: 30-49
- Moderate effort: 50-69
- Hard effort: 70-84
- Very hard effort: >84
- Maximal effort: 100
Typical RT variables for intermediate strength focused training
- 2-3x per week (full or half body)
- 80-100%
- 1-8 reps
- 2-3 min rest
- 3-6 sets
- slow controlled tempo
- <10 second set duration
- method of progression: load
Typical RT variables for intermediate hypertrophy focused training
- 3-6x per week (full or half body)
- 70-85%
- 6-12 reps
- 1-2 minutes rest
- 2-5 sets
- slow-moderate tempo
- 10-30 second set duration
- method of progression: reps than load
Typical RT variables for intermediate endurance focused training
- 2-3x per week (full or half body)
- 50-75%
- > 12-15, 15-25 reps
- 0-1 minutes rest
- 2-3 sets
- slow <10-15, moderate-fast >15 reps tempo
- 30-60+ second set duration
- method of progression: reps or sets
Benefits of resistance training
- Improved MSK fitness
- Improved bone health
- Improved cardiovascular fitness
Study assessing low rep/high weight vs high rep/low weight
Methods:
- Quad resistance exercise for 10 weeks
- 1 group: high reps, 30% of 1RM
- Other group: low reps, 80% of 1RM
Results:
- No differences in muscle hypertrophy
- lower repetition group had a larger increase in isokinetic strength
- isometric no difference
- Practice produced neural adaptations
Follow-up
- Group 1: 20-25 reps at 30-50% of 1RM
- Group 2: 8-12 reps at 5-90% of 1RM
- Both groups periodically 1RM tested
- Results: no difference in hypertrophy or strength gains
Frequency RT
- 48 hours rest between muscle groups
- target different muscle groups on consecutive days
Sets RT
- 1 set may achieve similar strength benefits as 3 sets in novice lifters
- Health benefits are achieved with 1-2 sets
- Advanced lifters may perform multiple sets
Guidelines for rest between sets
- Multi-joint exercise with heavy loads and using a large muscle mass 2-3 min
- Smaller muscle mass 1-2 min
- Muscle endurance 1-2 min
- Power 4-5 min
Progressions in RT
- Made every 1-2 weeks (2-4 in older adults)
- Increase 5% in training load
Exercise order RT
- At least 1 exercise per major muscle group
- Usually recommended large muscle groups or multi-joint exercises 1st
- Alternate upper/lower or agonist/antagonist to maximize recovery
Warm up and cool down for RT
- Light aerobic exercise for a minimum of 5 min
- Perform a warm-up set (light load, high reps
Tempo recommendations
1 concentric
2 eccentric
