Progressive Resistance Training Report

Superior Essays
Progressive resistance training means a gradual increase in load during the training period and should always been monitored by a trained professional. The number of repetitions that everyone can tolerate depends on the external resistance such as the load imposed during the exercise, which is called MR in the studies published: for example, 1MR indicates the maximal load tolerated with one repetition. Resistance training is defined as an activity that develops and maintains strength, resistance, and muscle mass, and it has been practiced by a wide variety of individuals with and without chronic diseases, since it is associated with favorable changes in cardiovascular function, metabolism, coronary artery disease risk factors, and psycho-social …show more content…
In end-stage no osteoarthritis t responding to non-surgical therapy, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a safe and cost-effective intervention. The main clinical indication for TKA is osteoarthritis, which accounts for 94–97% of the operations. Replacement of knee joints generally leads to pain reduction, correcting of joint alignment, improvement of physical function, and a high satisfaction rate. However, patients may not fully regain muscle strength and functional performance after surgery, and impairments of muscle strength and functional capacity remain below the level of a healthy age- and gender matched population for years after. Furthermore, about 20% of the patients may continue to endure knee pain or other knee problems after TKA. (Synder L, …show more content…
Examples of this are poses in body building or pushing against an immoveable object such as a wall. One of the main benefits of isometric training is that the body can activate nearly all the available motor units - something that is usually very difficult to do. Back in the 1950s, researchers Hettinger and Muller found a single daily effort of two-thirds of a person’s maximum effort exerted for six seconds at a time for ten weeks increased strength about 5% per week, while Clark and associates demonstrated static strength continued to increase even after the conclusion of a five-week program of isometric exercises. Another benefit of isometric training is simply the amount of time spent performing an exercise. Consider an exercise like the bench press. It may take one to two seconds to perform with each joint angle only being trained for short periods of time. In contrast, an exercise that mimics the bench press, like a press against pins at the sticking point of the lift, may be performed for several seconds. In other words, if you have a problem at a joint angle in a lift, you can do targeted isometrics to quickly overcome your problems. (Blackwell,

    Strengths: Patients that did not qualify were removed from the study. External Validity: Threats: There were more autograft patients than allograft patients, which could potentially increase the number of patients that complained of pain. Autograft patients were younger than allograft patients. Some of the patients had other knee pathologies.…

    It was also noted that since the pain has not improved with rest, medication, therapy, and arthroscopy in addition to the x-rays, the next step is total knee resurfacing. It was also noted that the patient will require medical clearance prior to surgery and due to the complexity, the provider notes that he needs an assistant surgeon. The patient will need to be hospitalized for 3 to 5 days, be provided with a Continuous Passive Motion Unit, and a cold unit for 3 weeks, front wheel walker for ambulatory assistance, a 3-in-1 commode, and outpatient postoperative physical therapy twice a week for 6 weeks. Based on the amended medical report dated 10/06/16 by Dr. Schiffman, the patient is a candidate for a right total knee replacement.…

    The summer of my junior year of high school I had the opportunity to shadow a variety of medical professionals. One of these was an orthopedic surgeon, and during the time I spent watching his surgeries, I got the chance to witness two Total Knee Arthroscopies (TKAs). For my biomedical product, I chose to research a total knee prosthesis. This prosthetic has an old and very diverse history that centers mostly around the 1970s, but today has become a multibillion dollar industry with millions of patients undergoing TKA every year.…

    The databases used to find the articles were SportDiscus, PubMed, and CINAHL. To be included in the study the articles must have females who were not previously injured, studies that investigated hip strengthening or a hip neuromuscular control program, a primary outcome that focused on the frontal plane knee mechanics, and only peer-reviewed studies. All the studied were evaluated using level of evidence. They used the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence Tool to rank the articles. This ranked the articles on a level 1 to level 5 scale with level 1 being the highest.…

    A 30-year-old skier takes a sharp turn on the slopes and hears a dreaded “pop” in his right knee. He has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)—a band of tissue that’s important for stabilizing the joint. After icing, compressing, and elevating his swollen knee, he visits the doctor. Now it’s time to decide on treatment. If he’s an elite athlete or has additional knee damage, the choice is fairly clear: reconstructive surgery to replace the ACL, plus intense physical therapy.…

    Muscular Fatigue Lab

    Within this lab we studied and compared the quantity of effort throughout intermittent and continuous exercise on a cycle ergometer. The time to fatigue, and recovery time was also considered during each type of exercise. To look at muscular fatigue in this lab we used a sub maximal test, this was used because maximal tests can be harmful to participants. Muscular endurance can be described as the ability of a muscle or muscle groups to do continual muscular contractions with resistance, when the muscle can no longer work at a given rate that is fatigue. Muscles that fatigue quickly have low endurance, muscles that take time to fatigue can be categorised as muscles with high endurance.…

    Total knee replacement involves ‘replacing a damaged, worn or diseased knee with an artificial joint’. (1) The number of total knee replacement surgeries performed annually has increased exponentially over the years and surgery has advanced since it was first performed with resulting improvements in outcomes. The history of total knee replacement began back in 1890 when the German surgeon Themiscotcles Gluck implanted the first primitive hinge joints made of ivory.…

    To train the Phosphocreatine energy system effectively, would involve repeated bouts of exercise up to 10-15 seconds of maximum intensity, with roughly two minutes rest between repeated intervals that will allow the system to replenish. The formula for recovery periods is known as the ‘work to rest ratio’. The Phosphocreatine energy system recovery ratio is 1:10/12. As a result, this means that for every second of ‘work’ you need to allow 10 to 12 seconds for recovery. When designing a training program for the phosphocreatine system, there must be an adequate recovery period and have the session if the quality of the movements or their power decreases significantly.…
