Exercise training principles typically require significant modifications for individuals with known |
Coronary heart disease. |
|
|
Youth fitness programs and services, including personal training, is one of the fastest |
Growing segments in the health club industry. |
|
|
The term youth refers to children & adolescents between the ages of |
6 & 20 |
|
|
Although a group of children/ adolescents may be the same age, the response to exercise can |
Vary considerably as a result of individual differences in growth, development, and physical maturation. |
|
|
Published guidelines on youth fitness & exercise have previously focused primarily on |
Sport-specific training. |
|
|
Given the alarming increase in childhood obesity & diabetes, current youth fitness guidelines focus on promoting |
Healthy lifestyles & health related physical fitness. |
|
|
Current recommendation state that children & adolescents should get |
60 minutes or more of physical activity daily. |
|
|
Children & adolescents should engage in what type of activities daily to improve their help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases? |
Aerobic Muscle strengthening Bone strengthening |
|
|
The national Association for sport and physical education in a SPE has revised their statement on physical activity and now recommends that children ages |
5-12 get up to 60 minutes of exercise & up to several hours of physical activity daily. |
|
|
The OPT model for training purposes is still use with youths, but their |
Progress is specific to their physiologic capabilities. |
|
|
Physiological differences of peak oxygen uptake between children & adults : |
Children do not typically exhibit a plateau in oxygen uptake & maximal exercise. |
|
|
Adjusted for body weight, peak oxygen consumption is similar for ___ & slightly higher for ___. |
Young & mature males Young females (compared with mature female) |
|
|
Physiological differences of submaximal oxygen demand (economy of movement) between children & adults |
Children are less efficient intense exercise at a higher percentage of their peak oxygen uptake during submaximal exercise. |
|
|
Physiological differences of glycolytic enzymes between children & adults : |
Children don’t produce sufficient levels of glycolytic enzymes to be able to sustain balance of high intensity exercise. |
|
|
Physiological differences of thermal regulatory systems between children & adults : |
Children have immature thermal regulatory systems, including both a delayed response & limited ability to sweat in response to hot, humid environments. |
|
|
What phase of the OPT model can children train in ? |
Stabilization (phase 1) |
|
|
Because of the relatively high peak oxygen uptake levels, children can perform |
Endurance activities fairly well. |
|
|
Vigorous exercise in hot, humid environments should be restricted for children to less than |
30 minutes, including frequent rest periods. |
|
|
When working out adequate hydration would be |
Drinking water before, during, & after exercise. |
|
|
Children are at a distinct disadvantage when participating in |
Short-duration (10-90secs) high intensity & aerobic activities because they produce less glycolytic enzymes required to support sustained anaerobic power. |
|
|
Physiologic & training considerations for youth : |
Back (Definition) |
|
|
Resistance training for children and adolescents is |
Safe and effective, lowering risk of injury when compared with many popular sports. (Soccer, football, basketball) |
|
|
The most common injuries associated with resistance training in youth are |
Sprained (injury to ligament) & strain (injury to tendon or muscle) |
|
|
Sprains & strains from resistance training in youth are usually attributable to a |
Lack of qualified supervision Improper progression Poor technique |
|
|
Untrained children can improve their strength by an average of |
30-40% after 8 weeks of progressive resistance training. |
|
|
Resistance training in you has been shown to improve motor skills such as |
Sprinting Jumping Body comp Bone mineral density |
|
|
Improvements in strength and performance after resistance training program and you appear to be owing to |
Neural adaptations versus muscular hypertrophy. |
|
|
When training do you start them in the |
Phase 1 stabilization endurance program. |
|
|
Progression into phases 2-5 should be decided on the basis of |
Maturity level Dynamic postural control (Flexibility & instability) How they’ve responded to training |
|

|
|
What is atherosclerosis caused by? |
Poor lifestyle choices (smoking, obesity, sedentary lifestyle) |
|
|
Peripheral vascular disease |

Plaques that form in any peripheral artery. |
Typically in the lower leg. |
|
Those with BP levels between 120/80 mm Hg & 139/89 are considered |
Prehypertensive |
|
|
Those who are considAllered prehypertensive should be |
Carefully monitored & referred to a physician if BP continues to rise or if they have other risk factors for heart disease. |
|
|
All individuals regardless of their age who have a BP reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher should be |
Referred to a physician for further evaluation. |
|
|
Some of the normal physiologic & functional changes associated with aging include reductions in the following : |
Maximal attainable HR Cardiac output Muscle mass Balance Coordination NM efficiency Connective tissue elasticity Bone mineral density |
|
|
Degenerative processes associated with aging can lead to a decrease in the |
Functional capacity of older adults. |
|
|
Older adults have potentially significant reductions in |
Muscular strength/endurance Cardiorespiratory fitness Proprioceptive neural response |
|
|
What is one of the most important & fundamental functional activities affected with degenerative aging? |
Walking |
|
|
The decreased ability to move freely in one’s on environment reduces ___ & leads to an increase in ___The ability or inability to perform normal activities of daily living ADL |
Physical/emotional independence The degenerative cycle |
|
|
The ability or inability to perform normal activities of daily living (ADLs) can be measured to |
Help determine the functional status of an individual. |
Bathing, eating, housekeeping, leisure activities. |
|
Many of the structural deficit responsible for decreased functional capacity in older adults, including loss of muscle strength & neural proprioception, can be |
Slowed/reversed through participating in routine physical activity & exercise. |
|
|
Before initiating in any exercise training, older adults must complete a |
PAR-Q & movement assessment (OH squat assessment, sitting & standing from a seated position, single leg stance) |
|
|
Flexibility assessment and What type of stretching is advised for the seniortraining is important to consider with older adults because |
Threaten to lose the elasticity of their connective tissue, reducing movement & increasing risk of injury. |
|
|
What type of stretching is advised for the senior population? |
SMR & static stretching. |
|
|
If your senior client doesn’t have sufficient ability to perform the necessary movements for SMR or static stretching simple forms of |
Active or dynamic stretching can be recommended to start moving their joints during the warm-up period. |
|
|
What stages will be appropriate. Cardiorespiratory training for the senior population? |
