4 main types of exercise
• Cardiorespiratory • Flexibility • Neuromotor • Resistance
Neuromotor exercise
• exercise that maintains a desired position (balance), demands accurate or smooth movements (coordination) or the ability to change body positions quickly (agility)
Resistance exercise
• challenges muscles to produce low to moderate force over long durations (endurance), low to moderate force over short durations (power) or high force regardless of duration (strength)
Exercise session components
• Warm up • Main session • Cool down
Principles of exercise prescription
• overload • reversibility • specificity • individuality • FITT-VP
Overload principle
• to stimulate physiologic adaptation, exercise demands must exceed the minimum threshold of current capacity
Overload principle: 10% guideline
• increases of less than 10% meet the min threshold to stimulate physiologic adaptation and avoid adverse events
Reversibility principle
• detraining effect • to maintain physiological adaptations volume may be decreased but intensity must be maintained
Specificity principle
• physiological adaptations to exercise are specific to the demands of the exercise
Specificity- biomechanics
• neurological, muscular and skeletal adaptations
Specificity- metabolic
• cardioresp and energy system adaptations
Individuality principle
• physiological adaptations to exercise varies btwn individuals
Factors affecting adaptation
• age • genetics • nutrition • fitness • sleep • alcohol/drugs • medical conditions/history • symptoms • medications
FITT-VP
• Frequency: how often • Intensity: how difficult • Type: what kind • Time: how long • Volume: what amount 6: Progression: how should it be made more challenging
Frequency: resistance exercise
• greater than 2 days per week
Intensity: resistance exercise
• endurance: 50-65% of 1 RM or 12-20 reps • strength: 65-80% of 1 RM or 8-12 reps • power: 0-65% of 1 RM or bodyweight to 12 reps
Type: resistance exercise
• exercises engaging multiple joints and opposing major muscle groups • bodyweight, elastic bands, weights etc.
Progression : resistance exercise
• endurance: increase sets and reps, decrease rest • strength: 2 on 2 guideline, increase intensity (10%) • power: increase speed and intensity (10%)
Physiological adaptations to exercise
• cardiorespiratory • resistance • whole body
Cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise: central
• increased SV • decreased RHR • increased BV • increased hemoglobin • increased arteriole
Cardiorespiratory adaptations to exercise: peripheral
• increased capillarization • increased myoglobin • increased mitochondria • increased type 1 muscle fibres
Resistance exercise adaptations: neural
• increased motor firing rate, recruitment and synchronization • decreased agonist-antagonist activation
Resistance exercise adaptations: muscular
• increased muscle fiber size • increased lean body mass
Resistance exercise adaptations: metabolic
• increased anaerobic enzymes • increased insulin sensitivity
