Resistance Exercise for impaired muscle performance

Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands; exercise programs should be built with specificity in mind, as body systems adapt over time to the stresses placed on them.

Adaptive training effects (strength, power, endurance) depend heavily on the training methods used. Exercises should mimic the desired function.

Increasing the intensity or repetitions of exercise, but always considering patient factors (pathology, age, healing) and goals, as well as body system adaptation.

Factors such as the patient's underlying health condition, age, and the stage of tissue healing influence exercise prescription and adaptation.

Planning and deciding the parameters of exercise (type, intensity, duration) based on patient assessment, needed adaptations, and goals.

Body systems adapt to stresses placed on them. This is a foundation for the SAID principle.

Exercises should closely match the intended real world activity, ensuring that training translates into real world improvement.

Practicing the specific motor task (like climbing stairs) is crucial, regardless of its complexity.

Used to improve muscle performance in rehabilitation programs (for impairments) or general fitness in healthy individuals.

Essential for effective muscle strengthening to avoid substitute motions, important in exercise, and manual muscle testing.

Compensatory movements caused by stronger muscles taking over, preventing proper muscle strengthening.

Includes intensity, volume, frequency, duration of exercise, and rest intervals needed to progressively overload muscles.

Frequency, Intensity, Time (duration), and Type of exercise. A guideline for structuring resistance training.

Speed of exercise; important for tailoring the program.

The type or method of exercise being used.

Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands; exercise programs need to be tailored to specific patient goals.

A rest period of 48 hours between exercise sessions allows for adequate recovery following a moderate-intensity strength training session.

Describes the form of exercise, muscle contraction type, and how the exercise is performed; this includes weight application (manual or mechanical techniques).

Exercises involving muscle shortening (concentric) or lengthening (eccentric) contractions, or both.

Exercises involving static muscle contractions without visible limb movement; muscle tension without change in length.

Exercises involving muscle contractions with constant tension.

Exercises where the distal segment (limb) moves freely in a non-weight-bearing position.

Exercises performed while supporting the body's weight; usually involves the whole body.

The level of effort during an exercise session, measured as a percentage of maximum effort.
