SSEH3301: Lecture 6 - Exercise Prescription for Aerobic Fitness
-large proportion of our fitness come from lifestyle daily movement of body!
-eg. walking, taking stairs!
-holistic exercise for optimal health and fitness must
include these!
-must achieve permanent lifestyle change (an exercise
program that is can be maintained)!
!
-ensure person not high risk of CV event
during exercise!
-pay attention to the less fit patients - need
you more!
-start slow with new client, then build up
from there!
-see if any special needs/consideration in
relation to skeletal musulo injuries!
-adjust exercise prescription based on
environmental conditions!
-must think about the lifestyle/outside of
exercise time: need to move body more!
!
-general community exercising for
health and improving fitness - warm
up should include flexibility and
aerobic!
-Super important to warm up!
-reduced abnormal ECG responses!
-Warm up: gives body time to prep
for exercise!
!
- we get different benefits if we
have aerobic and resistance
type exercise!
-how hard should you work?!
-VO2 R = VO2 reserve!
-HR max!
-if do 30 mins in 1 go instead of 10mins x 3 =
same benefit (biggest barrier in exercise is lack
of time)!
-mode depends on person (looking at life long)!
!
-intensity is tricky and complicated!
-METS = metabolic equivalence!
-RPE rating of perceived exertion!
-VO2 is gold standard (but difficult because need
specialised equipments)!
!
Higher train: 40-50!
Elite: higher!
Look at O2 consumption and intensity =
relationship !
-can prescribe exercise based on
VO2max/VO2R!
