    Study Notes

    • Physiological responses to exercise vary significantly with age.
    • Youth and older adults have different responses to exercise.
    • Health and functional status are better indicators of exercise ability than chronological age in older adults.

    Youth Exercise Training

    • Resistance training can increase muscular strength, power, endurance, and bone mineral density.
    • It may improve cardiometabolic risk factors, weight control, and psychological well-being.
    • Potential to prevent sports-related injuries and positively impact cognition and academic achievement.
    • Resistance training may favorably influence growth, but does not affect maximum height potential.

    Physiological Responses to Acute Exercise in Youth

    • Youth have lower absolute oxygen uptake but higher relative oxygen uptake compared to adults.
    • Youth generally exhibit higher heart rates and lower cardiac output, stroke volume, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, tidal volume, and minute ventilation than adults.
    • Respiratory exchange ratios are also lower in youth.
    • Anaerobic capacity is much lower in children than adults.
    • Prepubescent children have immature skeletons and should avoid excessive vigorous exercise.

    Chronological vs. Biological Age

    • Substantial variations in physical development exist within a given chronological age.
    • Biological age considers skeletal, somatic, and sexual maturation.
    • Maturation correlates with fitness levels, like muscular strength and motor skills.
    • Physical training does not delay or accelerate growth or maturation in children who are adequately nourished.

    Muscle and Bone Growth in Youth

    • Muscle mass is approximately 25% at birth and increases to about 40% in adulthood.
    • Hormonal changes during puberty influence muscle mass in boys (muscle mass and shoulder widening) and girls (body fat, breast development, and hip widening).
    • Muscle growth in girls occurs more slowly during adolescence.
    • Muscle fiber hypertrophy, not hyperplasia, drives increases in muscle mass.
    • Peak muscle mass varies by sex and occurs later in males.
    • Bone growth occurs primarily in diaphysis then growth cartilage (epiphyseal, joint surface, and apophyseal plates).
    • Full bone maturity occurs earlier in girls than boys.
    • Growth cartilage is vulnerable to trauma and overuse.

    Special Considerations in Youth

    • Unstructured active play is important in young children.
    • Avoid sustained heavy exercise in extreme heat/humidity.
    • Overweight/inactive youth should start with moderate intensity and gradually increase duration/frequency.

    Older Adults and Exercise

    • Physiological aging varies among individuals.
    • Health and functional status are better indicators of exercise ability than chronological age in older adults.
    • Bone loss and muscle loss elevate fall and fracture risk.
    • Bone porosity increases with age due to decreased bone mineral content.
    • Sarcopenia is loss of muscle mass/strength with advanced aging.
    • Older adult exercise prescription should be relative to individual fitness, using a perceived exertion scale.

    Physiology: Aging and Impact of Resistance Training

    • Resistance training can improve muscular strength, power, endurance, muscle mass, muscle fiber size, muscular metabolic capacity, resting metabolic rate, and bone mineral density while decreasing body fat in older adults.

    Resistance Training for Older Adults

    • Free weights, multi-joint exercises are optimal, though resistance machines may be used initially.
    • Avoid Valsalva maneuver.
    • Allow 48-72 hours of recovery between sessions.
    • Ensure exercises are technically appropriate to minimize injury risk.

    Concerns for Older Adults

    • Pre-existing medical conditions, prior training history, and nutrition are important considerations.
    • Adequate protein intake is crucial.

    Female Athletes: Strength and Power

    • Women generally have about 2/3 the absolute strength of men.
    • Relative strength (strength/muscle cross-sectional area) shows no significant sex differences.
    • Female athletes have approximately 2/3 the power output of males.
    • Women can increase strength at rates similar to or faster than men.

    Program Considerations for Women

    • Resistance training programs for women should be no different from men's programs.
    • Use appropriate resistance based on individual strength capabilities, focusing on upper body strength in women to benefit specific sports needs.

    Gender and Flexibility

    • Females typically exhibit higher flexibility compared to males.
    • Higher estrogen and relaxin levels contribute to joint laxity and flexibility.
    • Women's wider pelvis and different muscle attachment sites affect flexibility.

    Endocrine Response to Exercise

    • Exercise impacts hormone levels and receptor activity.
    • Hormonal responses vary with exercise intensity and duration (e.g., higher intensity = higher absolute hormone secretion).
    • Aerobic training potentially increases net protein synthesis.

    Neuromusculoskeletal Responses to Exercise

    • Neural adaptations involve increased motor unit recruitment, synchronization, firing rates, neuromuscular junction efficiency, antagonist muscle co-contraction reduction, agonist muscle activation increase, intermuscular coordination, and reflex responses.
    • Anaerobic training increases agonist recruitment and firing rates.
    • Neural adaptations often precede structural changes in muscle.
    • Training can influence motor unit recruitment patterns based on the load and training type

    Neuromusculoskeletal Response to Aerobic Training

    • Aerobic training improves aerobic capacity primarily due to changes in glycogen sparing. Increased fat utilization prolongs performance.
    • Muscle fiber type 1 shows greater capacity and response to oxidative adaptations.
    • Increased capillary density, mitochondrial density.

    Metabolic Energy Stores

    • Aerobic and resistance training increase metabolic energy stores.

    Connective Tissue Adaptations

    • Aerobic and resistance training improve connective tissue strength.

    Body Composition

    • Aerobic training typically decreases body fat percentage.

    Cardiopulmonary Response to Anaerobic Training and Aerobic Training

    • Cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, oxygen uptake, systolic blood pressure, and blood flow to active muscles increase acutely with resistance training, whereas diastolic blood pressure may slightly decrease.
    • Chronic resistance training leads to less acute cardiovascular response.

    Introduction to Pain

    • Pain is a complex, individual experience.
    • Common sources of pain include low back pain, neck pain, migraines, and peripheral joint pain; women experience higher rates of musculoskeletal pain.

    Pain Mechanisms

    • Nociceptive pain (due to injury/inflammation).
    • Nociplastic pain (disturbance in central pain processing).
    • Neuropathic pain (nerve damage).

    Pain Theories

    • Gate control theory suggests that pain transmission is modulated based on neural activity (large and small diameter afferents).
    • Neuromatrix theory proposes a widespread network of neurons for pain processing which is influenced by various factors including neural, cortical, and body self.

    Pain Assessment

    • Valid and reliable tools across the biopsychosocial domain measure pain.
    • Pain is considered the 5th vital sign.
    • Self-report is the gold standard and often uses scales (e.g., VAS, NRS, VRS).
    • Physiological measures are used as supplementary, especially in the short-term.

    Pain Questionnaires

    • McGill Pain Questionnaire, Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), and PainDETECT questionnaires assess multidimensional pain, functional impact, and neuropathic pain components, respectively.

    Psychological Questionnaires

    • Fear-avoidance beliefs and pain catastrophizing.
    • High fear avoidance beliefs can negatively impact physical activity.
    • Pain catastrophizing involves negative cognitive and affective responses to pain, leading to worse pain outcomes.

    Range of Motion

    • ROM interventions maintain joint/soft tissue mobility, reducing contracture formation.
    • Types include passive ROM (PROM), active ROM (AROM), and active-assisted ROM.
    • Precautions/contraindications to ROM exist in acute injury and recovery periods, demanding proper physician consultation.
    • Proper body mechanics are crucial for safe application of ROM techniques.

    Red Flags with Exercise Training

    • Various red flags exist during and before exercise, necessitating careful monitoring and professional guidance.
