What are the two acute variables

volume

intensity

100

What is GAS? & What are the stages?

General Adaptation Syndrome

1. Alarm reaction

2. Resistance Development

3. Exhaustion

100

no additional load; most accessible; all planes of motion.

Bodyweight Training

100

the weight and movements placed on the body.

Mechanical Specificity

100

Slow progression, ell monitored & baed on postural control

Progress exercises toward free sitting (no support) or staying.

Focus exercises on hips, thighs, back and arms

Avoid excessive spinal loading on squat and leg press exercises

Maintain normal breathing & avoiding holding breath

Individual with Osteoporosis

200

What are the 5 Phases

Phase 1: Stabilization Endurance Training
Phase 2: Strength Endurance Training
Phase 3: Hypertrophy Training
Phase 4: Maximal Strength Training
Phase 5: Power

200

What are some current trends in the fitness field

Mobile apps, activity trackers, social media, & emerging technologies 

200

ropes or webbing used to manipulate body position and stability.

Suspension Training

200

The annual plan of training plan can also be called..

Macrocycle

200

Make sure your client is comfortable - beware of surroundings & positions

Exercises should be performed in standing o seated position.

Utilize the Talk Test

Client may have other chronic disease; get medical release from physician if is the case

Overweight or Obese

300

What does High Volume (low intensity) Adaptation Do?


•Increased muscle cross-sectional
area.
•Improved blood lipid serum profile.
•Increased metabolic rate.

300

What are the signs of overtraining?

Decreased Performance

Fatigue

 Altered hormonal states

Poor sleeping patterns

Reproductive disorders

Decreased immunity

Loss of appetite

Mood disturbances

300

great for beginners needing stability; fixed plane of motion; limited range of motion.

Strength Training Machines

300

the speed of contractions and exercise selection.

Neuromuscular Specificity

300

Slow, well monitored progression based on postural control. 

Exercises should be progressed toward free sitting (no support) or standing

Make sure client maintains normal breathing , and avoid breath holds

If client cannot toilette SMR or static stretches perform slow rhythmic active or dynamic stretches

Seniors

400

What does Low Volume (High Intensity) Adaptation do?

Low Volume (High Intensity) Adaptation

•Increased rate of force production.
•Increased motor unit recruitment.
•Increased motor unit
synchronization.

400

The act of rolling one's own body on a round foam roll or other training tool, massaging away restrictions to normal soft-tissue extensibility.

Self-myofascial release (SMR)

400

barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, medicine balls, and sandbags; all planes of

Free weights and Implements

400

Dividing a training program into distinct periods, training different adaptations in each 

Periodization

400

Avoid heavy lifting & Valsalva maneuvers, making sure client breathes normally

Do not let client clench fists or overripe weights

Modify tempo to avoid extended isometric and concentric muscle action

Perform exercises in a standing or seated position

Allow client to stand slowly to avoid dizziness

Progress slowly

Hypertension

500

What is the FITTE Principle?

Frequency - the number of training sessions in a given timeframe
Intensity - the level of demand that a
given activity places on the body
Time - the length of time an individual is engaged in a given activity
Type - the type of physical activity being performed
Enjoyment - the amount of pleasure

500

What are the principles of variation?

1. Vary the amount and type of stress placed on the body to produce adaptation and prevent injury.

2. Vary the focus of a training program at regularly planned periods of time to produce optimal adaptation.

500

stability balls, wobble boards (BOSU), balance discs (Dyna Disc), foam pads (Airex), balance beams, half foam rolls; used to increase instability of an exercise.

Proprioceptive modalities

500

Body increases functional capacity to adapt to a stressor; once adapted, the increased stress is needed to produce a new response

Resistance Development (stage 2 of GAS)

500

Avoid Exercises in a prone (on stomach) or supine (on back) position after 12 weeks pregnant

Avoid SMR on varicose veins and areas of swelling

Plyometric trining is not advised in 2nd & 3rd trimesters
