working with children, older adults, pregnant women Flashcards
structured exercise can provide numerous benefits for an expectant mother including
Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness
Reduced maternal weight gain
Reduced musculoskeletal discomfort (e.g., low back pain)
Reduced postural compromise
Decreased incidence and severity of varicose veins or blood clots
Reduced risk for preterm birth
Fewer complications during delivery and shorter delivery lengths
Reduced risk for pregnancy-related disorders
Improved glucose tolerance
Improved psychological well-being and subjective body image
Quicker recovery from the stresses and strains of delivery

training deemed appropriate for a pregnant female is specific to the individual and based on
numerous physiological and genetic factors
conditions that make exercise contradicted during pregnancy
certain types of heart and lung disease
cervical insufficiency or cerclage
pregnant with twins or triplets with risk factors for history of preterm labor
placenta prevue after 26 weeks
premature contractions or labor
preterm labor or ruptured membranes
pre-eclampsia or pregnancy HTN
severe anemia
persistent bleeding
thyroid disease
pre-existing cardiopulmonary pathologies
changes that occur during pregnancy that can limit the ability to safely engage in some forms of exercise
increased body weight with a forward shift in COG
potential reduction in lung volume
ligamentous laxity
avoid during pregnancy:
activity or sport involving
risk of falling, trauma, collisions
contact sports
avoid during pregnancy:
exercise in ___ environments, such as ____
hot, humid
hot yoga, hot pilates
avoid during pregnancy:
avoid exercise when have a
fever
avoid during pregnancy:
activities at altitude or depth due to _____, such as ____ and activities performed above ___ feet
risk of altitude sickness or decompression sickness from which the fetus is not protected
scuba diving
6000
avoid during pregnancy:
____ behavior and ___ standing
sedentary, motionless
exercising in supine position in late pregnancy has raised concerns as
supine CO decreases compared to lateral position at rest
25% decrease in uterine blood flow during supine exercise is caused by uterine obstruction in the inferior vena cava
pregnancy:
maintain adequate
hydration and caloric intake
pregnancy:
stop exercise upon experiencing
fatigue, dont train to exhaustion
pregnancy:
weight bearing exercises can produce a greater decrease in ____ than non-weight bearing
O2 reverse
pregnancy:
beware of joint ____
laxity
pregnancy:
immediately report
vaginal spotting, bleeding, other adverse symptoms
pregnancy:
avoid all
dangerous activities and high-risk training in general
overweight children and adolescents are at risk for an increased number of health problems including
CV disease
high BP
high cholesterol
type 2 diabetes
hepatic steatosis
sleep apnea
hepatic steatosis
fatty degeneration of the liver
routine participation in exercise and sports-related activity can
improve CV fitness
enhance bone health
reduce susceptibility to weight gain
improve glucose tolerance
red risk of early development of health problems
children: appropriate exercise assessment examples
1 mile run, push up
children have a greater ability to recover from short, high intensity exercise, likely due to
lower peak power output
less muscle mass
lower stimulation go type II muscle fibers
faster phosphocreatine resynthesis
greater oxidative capacity
faster readjustment of initial cardiorespiratory parameters
higher removal of metabolic by-products
thermoregulatory functions differ among children as they:
produce less
total sweat and begin sweating later
thermoregulatory functions differ among children as they:
have ____ surface area to mass ratio
smaller
thermoregulatory functions differ among children as they:
___ blood volume, limiting _______
lower, internal transfer of heat to body surface
thermoregulatory functions differ among children as they:
____ hemoglobin concentrations
lower
