PHTY103 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Eugenius Warming, Vo2 Max, Exercise Prescription
Document Summary
Week 10: principles of therapeutic exercise: apply musculoskeletal anatomical & biomechanical concepts to therapeutic exercise. Rom normal, hypo/ hypermobile, tight muscles, joint pathologies, Functional: apply knowledge of principles of exercise prescription to design a therapeutic exercise for individuals of varying abilities, specificity. All training adaptations are specific to the training stimulus applied. Type of exercise: concentric, eccentric, isometric, open/ closed chain. e. g. improvements in cardiovascular endurance specific to training posture. Supine group: vo2 max increased 23% in supine. Upright group: vo2 max increased 6% in supine & 15% in upright cycling. Exercise must be appropriate for the goals, abilities & needs of the individual. What is their initial skill level: progression. A challenge must be present for improvement or adaptation to occur. Too little = not optimising gains / detraining. Too much = risk of injury, post-exercise soreness. To continue to challenge the system & gain improvements. When you have achieved goals of previous stage without negative side-effects.
