What is the difference in training strength vs. stability strength- all contractions, including isokinetics stability- isometrics and use of neurophysiological facilitation techniques
What is SAID principle for resistive training? consider individual muscles and what they will be used for, specific adaptation to imposed demands, a muscle needs to train in the fashion that it will be used, open or closed chain
What is the specificity principle of resistive training? training must be specific to activities
What is the overload principle? A muscle must be overloaded to a particular threshold before it will respond and adapt to training It needs to exert more force that it does during usual activities
What is the intensity needed for an overload? 60-80% of a muscle's force; the more deconditioned a muscle, the lower the need for starting intensity

What are different types of intensity? Manual- graded by therapist Weights-
What are the concept behind weights when used for intensity? Concept of RM: 1 RM, 5RM, 10 RM and use of various %; in rehab commonly use % of 10RM; Rate of perceived exertion (RPE): patient exercises to a certain % of max based upon subjective feeling
How is trial and error used when choosing intensity? In rehab, often use “trial and error” in choosing an initial weight, and then adjust according to the patient’s RPE and success of movement Trial and error should still be based on some objective data
What is the duration for endurance vs. strength/hypertrophy? Endurance (15+ reps to fatigue) Strength/hypertrophy (6-12 reps)
What rest periods are considered for endurance, heavy strength, or rehab? Endurance: 30 seconds-2 minutes Heavy strength: 3-5 minutes Rehab: 30 seconds-2 minutes
What is the frequency considered for an exercise prescription? Weekly Depending on intensity: generally 3-4x per week In early rehabilitation, isometrics may be done 2-3x/day
What are some types of resistance programs? Static- one position Dynamic - move in different position Variable resistance through the range where max resistance is at its strongest point Calisthenics
How is a static program used for stability vs. strength? Low intensity for stability (e.g. 40% for > 10 seconds) Higher intensity for strength
Wha is the primary goal of static program? Primarily enhances strength at the angle in which the muscle is stressed, physiologic overflow can occur 10 deg. in either direction (total of 20 deg) Maintain contractn for 3-10 seconds when used for strengthening; longer for stability Daily training OK

Describe other exercise programs: single set, multiple set Singlet: one set per exercise with 8-12 rep to max Multiple: 2-3 warm up sets with increasing resistance followed by 2-5 sets of 5-6 RM; this syst may yield optimal results for strength increases
Describe a pyramid system Pyramid system: continuous sets of exercises progressing from light to heavy while decreasing the number of reps
Describe variable resistance program Dynamic accommodating exercise goal is to load the muscle near maximum at each point in the range. e.g. Nautilus, however this has not been shown to be any more effective than PRE
Describe calisthenics Body weight used for resistance initially; supplemental weights may be used Upper body: push ups, pull ups Abdominals: abdominal curls, leg lifts Lower body: calf raises, squats, lunges, leg lifts
How does one train for power Speed training (bikes, treadmill, swimming) Explosive/power weight lifting techn Isokinetics: the velocity of the movement is set and any force applied vs. the equip results in an equal rxn force (machine controlled velocity, pt give variable resistance
What are plyometrics? Described by Wilt in 1975 Had been an Eastern European training technique known as “jump training” Develops explosive strength and power: quick eccentric stretch followed by a powerful concentric contraction (trampoline, rebounder, jumping medicine ball)
Precautions for exercise Valsalva Unsafe exercise posture,(fatigue) Substitute motions, particularly with fatigue Inadequate rest during exercise session Inadequate rest between session Equipment safety Patient: signs of overexertion, symptoms of intolerance Pain Swelling
What is Delayed onset muscle soreness? Generally dev. 12-24 hours after the completion of the exercise most pronounced symptoms on day 2 usually symptom free at 4-6 days common after eccentric exercise Tenderness to palpation throughout the involved muscle belly or at the myotendonous junction
Metabolic waste theory Multiple studies have shown that about 1 hour of recovery after exercise to exhaustion is needed to remove all lactic acid (Francis, 1983)
Muscle spasm theory Suggests that a feedback cycle of pain caused by ischemia and a buildup of metabolic waste products during exercise leads to spasm. It was hypothesized that in turn this caused the DOMS sensation and an ongoing pain spasm cycle (Devries, 1966).
Etiology of DOMS Current research suggests that DOMS is linked to some form of contraction induced microtrauma to muscle fibers and/or connective tissues resulting in some degeneration of tissue
Describe the damage tomuscles that last for several days The damage which is evident for several days after exercise is accompanied by inflammation (Abraham, 1977) Myofibular damage at the Z bands This effects the structural integrity of the contractile units
Immobilization can cause _____________. atrophy
What factors influence the rate of atrohpy Position of limb and length of muscle during immobilization (lengthened muscle will atrophy less than shortened) Muscles with high % of ST atrophy to a greater extent than those with high % of FT Antigravity muscles greater than their antagonists
What muscle are the most vulnerable to atrophy? Antigravity muscles that cross a single joint and contain large % of ST (e.g. soleus, multifidus, vastus medialis) Antigravity; multi joint; primarily ST (e.g. erector spinae, gastrocnemius, rectus femoris)
What is known about remobilization? Not good data that supports how long it takes to recover following immobilization Muscle detraining may be twice as fast as training
What components must be considered for adaptations to resistance training? Connective tissue Muscle Biochemical Neural Endocrine
What adaptations are made with CT during resistance training? Tension overload may stimulate a prolif of CT that surround the indiv muscle fibers, fascicles This thickens and strengthens the muscles’ connective tissue harness; and results in improved structural and functional integrity of both tendons and ligaments
What happens to muscle during resistance training? Hypertrophy (esp. Type II) Cross sectional area of the muscle increases Increase in myofibril volume of individual fibers Fiber splitting Potentially, an increase in number of fibers Changes in muscle depend on fiber type and the type of stimulus
What are the biochemical changes with resistance training? Increase in glycolytic enzymes (myokinase, creatine, creatine phosphokinase)
What are the neural changes with resistance training? Neural changes most obvious in the first 2-8 weeks of resistance training A more efficient activation of motor units Increased inhibition of antagonistic muscle and improved cocontraction of synergistic
What endocrine changes occur during resistance training? Heavy resistance training has been shown to increase the ability of an athlete to secrete greater amounts of epi during max exercise physiologic
