The 6 Principles Of Resistance Training

Overload Principle SAID Principle Transfer of Training Reversibility Principle Rest Principle Overtraining/Overwork Principle

Causes of Chronic Inflammation

Overuse, cumulative trauma, repetitive strain Repetitive microtrauma to tendons may result in tendon degeneration Poor healing response with collagen degeneration, fiber thinning and disorientation etc. Trauma May never completely heal May be result too early return to activity or too much Chronic inflammation and dysfunction Re-injury of "old scar" Chronic tennis elbow Contractures or poor mobility Faulty postural habits Prolonged immobility

Cell body of alpha motor neuron is located in the anterior horn of the gray matter of the spinal cord. Axon extends from the cell body to the muscle where it divides into a few or as many as thousands of smaller branches. The fibers of each motor unit are not contiguous, but are dispersed throughout the muscle with fibers of other motor units. The contraction of the entire muscle is the result of many motor units firing asynchronously and repeatedly.

Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises

Factors That Influence Force Production

Combined active and passive tension produce total tension: - Entire muscle is invested in a large network of CT that is bound to the tendon CT (epimysium, perimysium, endomysium). - As a muscle is stretched, there is some length at which the muscle begins to resist the stretch as a result of the elastic recoil of the passive structures (CT) within the muscle and tendon. - Tendons on either end of the muscle also provide a force against the stretch. - Force of active contraction peaks in midregion, and the passive components make an increasing contribution to force after midrange. - Overall tension (force) of the muscle is greatest when the muscle is stretched maximally. - The force output of multijoint muscles is influence by the L-T relationship

Contraction results from the formation of cross-bridges between the myosin and actin myofilaments, causing the actin chains to "slide" on the myosin chain. The greater the amount of actin and myosin, the greater the contractile force. The greater the number of cross-bridges formed, the greater the amount of active force generated.

CABG

Coronary artery bypass graft: Abbreviated CABG. A form of bypass surgery that can create new routes around narrowed and blocked coronary arteries, permitting increased blood flow to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle.

Rest Principle

Critical to establish a balance between work and rest to develop effective training program. Integrate rest into exercise program. Higher intensity of exercise, the longer the rest interval.Greater recovery if perform light exercises (active recovery). Recovery period from 1-4 minutes

Delayed onset muscle soreness

DOMS Muscle soreness, tenderness, aching, and stiffness 12 - 24 hrs. after exercise and peaking at 48 - 72 hrs. Muscle soreness ↑with passive stretching or active contraction of involved muscle Local edema/warmth, muscle stiffness and ↓ROM ↓strength 1-2 weeks after soreness subsides Eccentric exercise causes the most severe DOMS Gradually increase intensity/duration of exercise Regular routine of exercise

Frequency:Number of exercise sessions per day or week

Daily basis 2-3 times/day for low intensity exercise The > the intensity and volume of exercise, the more time needed between session to recover - eccentric exercise Elderly, children, and maintenance programs 2-3 times/week

Overtraining Principle

Decline in physical performance (burnout): Inability to recover from exercise, lowered resistance to injury, and chronic fatigue/exhaustion. Overtraining may be the reason for a lack of progress, decreased performance, or development of joint pain and swelling. Reversible by ↓volume and frequency of exercise.

Hypomobility

Decrease in normal movement and functionality of a joint, which affects range of motion.

__________ rest time for overload effect but use with caution.

Decrease rest time for overload effect but use with caution.

Aging

Decreased muscle strength with loss of muscle fibers with selective atrophy of Type II Decreased number or motor units Increased amount of CT resulting in decreased ROM and increased muscle stiffness Decreased speed of muscle contraction and ability to produce adequate power for quick responses Decreased muscle endurance Decrease in muscle mass begins to occur at age 25 Strength and endurance ↓less rapidly in physically active vs. sedentary adults Improvement in muscle strength, endurance, power possible during late adulthood

Peripheral Nerve Nerve Structure

Dendrite: afferent impulses towards cell body Axon: efferent impulses away from cell body Connective tissue covering: Endoneurium surrounds each axon Perineurium surrounds fascicles/axon bundles Epineurium surrounds entire nerve fiber Schwann cells form myelin which insulates the axon and increases the speed of conduction of action potential

Subacute stage of healing

Develop neuromuscular control, m. endurance, and strength in involved and related mm. Progress multiple angle isometrics Begin mild resistance Protected wt bearing and stabilization exercises Progress isotonic exercises as tolerable (increased reps initially, increased resistance later) Maintain integrity and function of associated areas Progressive strengthening and stabilization exercises Progress functional activities

Types Of Isometric Exercise Stabilization exercises:

Develop postural or joint stability Alternating isometrics (PNF) Rhythmic Stabilization (PNF) Dynamic, core, segmental (trunk/postural control) Multiple-angle isometrics: Resistance applied at multiple joint positions

Open Kinetic Chain Exercises

Distal segment moving freely in space in non-weight bearing positions Independent joint movement Muscle activation only at moving joint External stabilization Use to improve strength of isolated muscles Greater level of control with < substitution

ROM is painful- pain is before tissue resistance

During the Acute stage

Chronic Inflammation- Management Guidelines more in the early stages

Education Counsel as to cause of chronic irritation Adapt environment prn HEP to reinforce therapeutic interventions Promote healing, decrease pain and inflammation Cold, compression, massage Rest (cast, splint prn) Maintain integrity and mobility of involved tissue Non-stressful passive movement Massage Muscle setting as tolerable Develop support in related regions Postural training Stabilization exercises

Chronic Inflammation- Management Guidelines

Education Ergonomic counseling Counseling on safe progression of HEP What to look for? Develop strong, mobile scar Friction massage Soft tissue mobilization Develop balance in length and strength of the muscle Correct causes of faulty m. and joint mechanics with properly graded stretching and strengthening exercises Progress functional independence Functional training Coordination and timing endurance Analyze job/activity Adaptations to home/work/sport environments

Guidelines for Application of Stretching

Explain goals and procedure to patient. Relax patient by applying heat, massage, and/or warm-up exercises Joint traction and oscillations (Pendulum exercises) Cool in lengthened position Cryotherapy to decrease muscle tone and spasticity (UMN)

Eccentric exercise causes the least severe DOMS T/F

F Eccentric exercise causes the most severe DOMS

T/F Concentric Exercise: Maximum concentric contraction produces greater force than maximum eccentric contraction

F Maximum concentric contraction produces < force than maximum eccentric contraction

(MS, COPD, Cardiac, Vascular, Postpolio Syndrome)

Fatigue associated with specific clinical diseases

factors that affect muscle tension during active muscle contraction: Type of muscle contraction

Force output from greatest to least- eccentric, isometric,concentric muscle contraction.

Speed Of Exercise Force-Velocity Relationship concentric and eccentric

Force production decreases as the velocity of concentric (shortening) contraction increases Force production increases as the velocity of eccentric (lengthening) contraction increases and then quickly levels off. Speed-Specific Training: Strength-training effects are speed specific with carry-over at 15 degrees/sec.

EQUIPMENT FOR RESISTANCE TRAINING

Free weights Simple Weight-Pulley Systems Variable Resistance Units Elastic Resistance Devices Body Blade Total Gym Swiss Balls Slide Boards (ProFitter) BAPS BOSU Rebounders (mini-trampoline)

Number of exercise sessions per day or week

Frequency

factors that influence tension generation in normal skeletal muscle: Anaerobic Glycolytic System

Glycogen (glucose) is fuel source (glycosis) Anaerobic ATP resynthesized lactic acid produced Major source of energy from 30-90 seconds of excercise

factors that influence tension generation in normal skeletal muscle: Aerobic System

Glycogen, fats and proteins are fuel sources and are utilized relative to heir availability and intensity of exercise. Aerobic ATP is resynthesized in mitochondria of muscle cell used over another energy systems after 2nd minute of exercise.

Repetition Maximum (RM)

Greatest amount of weight a muscle can move through available ROM a specific number of times The exercise load to be used is calculated as a percentage of the RM - DeLorme (↑load with each set) - Oxford (↓load with each set) - DAPRE - Percentage of body weight: bench press 30% leg press 50% leg extension 20% Once establish RM, initiate training at % of RM

Avoid ballistic stretching. Don't passively force joint beyond its normal ROM. Caution with osteoporosis. Joint pain and muscle soreness should not last more than 24 hours after stretching. Avoid stretching edematous tissues. Avoid stretching weak muscles.

Guidelines for Application of Stretching precautions

Do's: 1. Gentle, slow, and sustained stretch force 2. Hold stretched position at least 15 - 30 seconds. 3. Gradually release the stretch force. 4. Stretch multi-joint muscles over one joint at a time, and then progress to all joints crossed.

Guidelines for Application of Stretching what you should do

Local edema/warmth, muscle stiffness and ↓ROM ↓strength 1-2 weeks after soreness subsides

Happens during the DOMS

_____________exercises before lower intensity exercises

Higher intensity exercises before lower intensity exercises

Chronic Inflammation- Contributing Factors

Imbalance between length/strength of a muscle Rapid or excessive repeated eccentric demand Muscle weakness Bone mal-alignment Change in usual intensity or demands Return to activity too soon Sustained awkward postures or motions Environmental factors Age-related factors Training errors

Decline in physical performance (burnout): Overtraining Principle

Inability to recover from exercise, lowered resistance to injury, and chronic fatigue/exhaustion

Rate Of Firing Of Motor Units And Force Production

Increased stimulation of motor units results in greater force production A single stimulus produces depolarization of the muscle and a twitch contraction. If stimulation of the muscle occurs at a sufficiently high frequency, new cross-bridges are formed before prior interactions are completely severed causing a fusion of succeeding contractions. If the stimulus is repeated before the muscle relaxes, the twitches begin to fuse and a sustained or tetanic contraction is produced. Small distal muscles rely more on increased frequency

Cumulative Trauma: Chronic Recurring Pain

Interruption of the normal healing process Connective tissue is repetitively stressed beyond ability to repair itself Inflammatory process is perpetuated Proliferation of fibroblasts, increased collagen production, degradation of mature collagen leads to excessive new/immature collagen Inherently weak

Types Of Muscle Contractions

Isometric: 1. Length of muscle fiber is constant Concentric: 1. Active shortening of muscle Thin actin myofilaments are being pulled toward the thick myosin myofilaments. Eccentric: Lengthening contraction Thin myofilaments are pulled away from the thick, and cross-bridges are broken and re-formed as the muscle lengthens.

_____________ groups exercised before single-joint muscle groups

Multijoint muscle groups exercised before single-joint muscle groups

ACTIVE INSUFFICIENCY

Multijoint muscle produces simultaneous movement at all of the joints it crosses. Multijoint muscle reaches a point where it cannot shorten any further Muscle unable to produce maximum torque in shortened position

Physiological Adaptations To Resistance Exercise

Muscle Adaptations: Hypertrophy of muscle fibers - preferential hypertrophy Type IIB fibers - transformation of Type IIB to Type IIA with endurance training Hyperplasia of muscle fibers Neural Adaptations: Motor learning Increased recruitment of motor units Increased firing rate and synchronization of motor units

Immobilization

Muscle atrophy and weakness: ↓ cross-sectional size of muscle ↓ motor unit recruitment ↑ fibrous and fatty tissue especially if immobilized in shortened position resulting in decreased extensibility greater atrophy in tonic postural muscle fibers (slow-twitch) faster atrophy/weakness when immobilized in shortened position decreased number and length of sarcomeres when immobilized in shortened position (sarcomere absorption) increased number and length of sarcomeres when immobilized in lengthened position

Muscle soreness ↑with passive stretching or active contraction of involved muscle

Delayed onset muscle soreness start within.

Muscle soreness, tenderness, aching, and stiffness 12 - 24 hrs. after exercise and peaking at 48 - 72 hrs.

Small Motor Units

Muscles that control fine movements Small cell bodies Small-diameter axons Slower conduction velocity Generate less tension and require less energy expenditure

are aligned to create a band pattern called a sarcomere.

Myofibrils

Sliding Filament Theory

Nerve impulse from motor neuron causes depolarization of the muscle fiber. The action potential initiates the release of Ca+ which causes troponin to reposition the tropomyosin molecules so that receptor sites on the actin are exposed. The myosin head group attaches to open binding site on the thin filament forming a cross-bridge. Cycling of cross-bridges continues as long as the action potential and supply of Ca+ remains. Cessation of the nerve's stimulus causes a reduction in Ca+ levels inhibiting the cross-bridges between actin and myosin, and the muscle relaxes.

Neural Tests of Provocation

Nerve palpation (Tinel's test) Sensation testing Reflex testing Manual muscle testing Nerve tension tests - stretch pain or paresthesias (numbness) - test positions and maneuvers become treatment positions and maneuvers

chronic stage

No signs of inflammation May have limited range from contractures or adhesions May have m. weakness Connective tissue strengthens and remodels in response to applied stress May have pain when stressing tight tissue at the end of their range May last 6 months - 1 year
