Study Notes
Therapeutic Exercise
- Therapeutic exercise is defined as a planned and structured series of exercises, designed to improve or restore impaired functions, or to enhance or maintain physical performance.
Purpose and Scope of Therapeutic Exercise
- The main purpose of therapeutic exercise is to improve or restore impaired functions, or to enhance or maintain physical performance.
- The scope of exercise used in physiotherapy practice includes exercises that improve or restore impaired functions, or enhance or maintain physical performance.
Patient Groups Benefiting from Therapeutic Exercise
- Therapeutic exercise is beneficial for various patient groups, including those with impaired functions or those who require enhancement or maintenance of physical performance.
Energy Systems and Exercise
- The primary source of energy for short, quick bursts of activity in high-intensity exercises is the ATP-PCr system.
- The anaerobic glycolytic system provides energy for activity of moderate intensity and short duration.
- The maximum energy capacity of the ATP-PCr System is approximately 10-15 seconds.
- In the anaerobic glycolytic phase, the breakdown of carbohydrate forms lactic acid.
- The main source of carbohydrate energy for active muscles during exercise is muscle glycogen.
- The aerobic energy system requires aerobic metabolism (using oxygen) when intense exercise continues beyond a few minutes.
- The predominant energy system after the second minute of exercise is the aerobic energy system.
Hormonal and Musculoskeletal Responses to Exercise
- The pituitary gland releases human growth hormone, which stimulates the body to increase bone, muscle, and tissue production.
- Specific training leads to hypertrophy in the musculoskeletal system.
- Endurance training improves muscle endurance and cardiovascular fitness in the musculoskeletal system.
- Regular exercise leads to improved cardiovascular response, including increased cardiac output and decreased resting heart rate.
Central Nervous System and Exercise
- Exercise affects the central nervous system, leading to improved neural function and increased neurotransmitter release.
Cellular Responses to Exercise
- The process of oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria, is related to the resynthesis of ATP in the muscle cell.
- The adrenal gland releases epinephrine during exercise.
