Study Notes
Class Notes on Muscular Fitness
- Class session will cover muscular fitness assessment, lecture, and activity 7.
- Muscular fitness assessment is still due tonight.
- Some activities from last Thursday will be omitted due to time constraints.
- Tuesday's class is scheduled, and some students are on field experience (FA), so missing is noted.
- Paper topics are due; submit via email if not on paper.
- Physical activity, even when studied, is essential.
- A quiz with bonus points will be given at the end of class; attendance is key for bonus points.
Program Design Overview
- Initial consultation with clients is paramount.
- Client goals must be established.
- Realistic goals are crucial.
- Client health status must be evaluated; medical clearance needed if necessary.
- Comprehensive health history must be considered.
- Fitness assessments must be performed to tailor the program to clients' goals.
- Avoid generalized assessments (e.g., not assessing muscular fitness in a cardiovascular program).
- Muscular fitness components include strength, power, and endurance (aesthetics/muscle size is a result).
Muscular Fitness Assessments
- Assessments should specifically align with individual goals.
- Examples of muscular fitness assessments include push-ups (muscular endurance), bench press one/two/three rep Max (strength) or grip strength or vertical jump to determine muscular power.
SMART Goals
- SMART goals are used to plan, based on fitness assessment results and current health status.
- Setting realistic goals with a timeframe is important.
Training Program Design
- Focus on simple, safe, and effective workout programs (KISS Principle).
- Warm-up: 2-5 minutes cardio and dynamic movement, then barbell warm up.
-
Resistance training session: Focus on compound lifts (multi-joint exercises engaging large muscle groups) that are time-efficient, such as squats, deadlifts, thrusters, bench press, etc.
- Progression and Regression: Adjust exercises to make them easier or harder (bodyweight, dumbbells, and barbell squats, goblet squat, front squat, back squat, overhead squat, leg press) based on training status and available equipment.
- Cool-down: Essential for injury prevention.
Training Status and Frequency
- Beginner: 0-6 months training experience; 2-3 workouts per week.
- Intermediate: 6-12 months experience; 3-4 workouts per week.
- Advanced: 12+ months experience; 4-6 workouts per week.
- Training status is crucial, particularly for exercise selection.
Training Variables
- ACSM: Strength: 1-8 reps; hypertrophy: 8-15 reps; endurance: >15 reps. One to two sets with a moderate intensity of 8-10 reps; Workout twice a week for 30-45 minutes, and this is a total body workout.
- NSCA: Strength: 2-6 sets, 1-6 reps; power: 3-6 sets, ≤5 reps; hypertrophy: 3-6 sets, 6-12 reps; endurance: 2-3 sets, >12 reps.
Intensity
- Intensity: Defined by load (weight) and perceived exertion (RPE).
- RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion): Effort scale from 1-10 (10 being maximum effort).
-
RIR (Reps in Reserve): Number of reps you could do before failure; the higher the RIR and RPE score, the lower the intensity. A high-intensity workout with RPE 7-9 with RIR 1-3.
- For example, if you can do 8 reps before failing, your RIR is 2, and your RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is 8.
Methodology and Exercise Selection
- Methodology is how your workouts are organized; examples are upper/lower body splits, total body workouts, or even specific days for strength, hypertrophy, and endurance.
- Choose exercises based on client goals, health, and available equipment.
- Start with large muscle group compound lifts and progress to smaller muscle groups (accessory lifts).
