Aerobic Exercises Mark David S. Basco, PTRP Department of Physical Therapy College of Allied Medical Professions University of the Philippines Manila
Objectives At the end of the session, students should be able to • Determine the components of an exercise program • Apply principles of a conditioning program for patients with • Coronary Artery Disease • Stroke and/or history of Hypertension • Peripheral Vascular Disease • COPD • Diabetes Mellitus • Well population
Objectives • Determine criteria for initiating an exercise session for different clients / patients. • Decide when to terminate an exercise session based on established protocols and guidelines
What do we need for this topic? Background knowledge of: • Cardiovascular physiology • Exercise physiology • Muscle physiology • Knowledge of different conditions presenting with impaired aerobic capacity Most importantly: • An open and inquisitive mind
Endurance • Ability to work for prolonged periods of time and resist fatigue • Types • Cardiovascular • Muscular
Determinants of an aerobic exercise program INTENSITY DURATION FREQUENCY MODE
Intensity • Overload principle • Specificity principle • Quantifying intensity • Heart Rate • VO2 Max • Rating of Perceived Exertion
Intensity Heart Rate • Maximum Heart Rate • 220-age • Karvonens Formula • THR= RHR + (MHR - RHR) (60-80%) • Deconditioned – 40-50% • Cardiopulmonary disease – 40 – 60% • Healthy individuals – 60 – 80% • For UE work • MHR = 220 – age - 11
Intensity Rating of Perceived Exertion • Useful for patients with heart rate suppressors e.g. Beta blockers • Original • Revised
Intensity Rating of Perceived Exertion • Original version ( 6-20 ) • Remember only the ODD numbers 7 – VERY VERY 9 - VERY 11 - LIGHT 13 – SOMEWHAT HARD 15 - HARD 17 - VERY 19 – VERY VERY 12- 60% HR range 13- 65 – 70% HR range 16- 85% HR range
Intensity Rating of Perceived Exertion • Revised version ( 0-10 ) 0.5 – VERY VERY 1- VERY 2 - WEAK 3 – MODERATE 4 - SOME - WHAT 5 - STRONG 7 – VERY 10 VERY VERY
Intensity • Exercising at a high intensity elicits a greater improvement of the VO2 max • The higher the intensity, the longer the exercise intervals, the faster the training effect • Exercising at high intensities increases the risk for CV complications and musculoskeletal injury
Intensity Goal • Achievement of intensity 60-90% MHR OR 50-85% VO2 Max • Beginners: 50-60% VO2 Max • Average: 60-70% VO2 Max • Fit: 75-85% VO2 Max
Duration Dependent on • Total work performed • Intensity • Frequency • Fitness level • HIGH intensity SHORT duration • LOW intensity LONG duration
Duration • Poor functional capacity • 5 - 10 minutes • Beginners • 10 - 20 minutes • Average • 15 - 45 minutes • Fit • 30 – 60 minutes
Duration Moderate to Minimal intensity • 20 – 30 minutes High intensity • 10 – 15 minutes Exercise longer than 45 minutes increases the risk for musculoskeletal complications
Frequency • Dependent on the health and age of the individual • LOW intensity HIGH frequency • HIGH intensity LOW frequency
Frequency • POOR • Daily • Beginner • Every other day • Optimal frequency • 3-4 times a week • 2 times a week does not generally evoke CV changes for well population • Increase in frequency beyond optimal range, increases risk for musculoskeletal complications • 30-45 mins 3x a week protects against CV disorders
Frequency 3 – 5 sessions / week • Greater than 5 METS Daily or multiple daily sessions • Less than 5 METS
Mode • Large muscles • Rhythmic • Long duration • Lower extremity versus Upper extremity exercise
Mode Lower extremity Upper extremity • Larger muscle mass • Higher VO2 max • HR increases linearly as a function of increased workload / VO2 max • HR plateaus just before maximal VO2 max • Systolic BP increases • Diastolic BP remains the same • Smaller muscle mass • Lower VO2 max than LE exercise • HR higher • Stroke volume lower • Systolic AND Diastolic BP higher
Exercise program Warm-up Aerobic exercise period Cool-down
Warm-up • Muscle temperature • NCV • Vasodilation • Adaptation of respiratory centers • Venous return
Warm-up • 2 components • Graduated low intensity warm-up (5-10 minutes) of total body movement • HR increase 20bpm • Flexibility exercises
Warm-up • Should NOT cause fatigue • Decreases • Risk for ECG changes (arrythmias) • Musculoskeletal disorder
Aerobic exercise • Continuous • Interval • Circuit • Circuit-interval
Continuous • Submaximal and sustained • Achievement of the steady state • Duration; 20 – 60 minutes • Intensity: 60 – 85% VO2 Max • Most effective in increasing endurance for healthy individuals
Continuous Two types: • Intermediate Slow Distance • 20-60 minutes continuous exercise • Most commonly used for managing weight • Long Slow Distance • Longer than 60 minutes for athletic training • Provided after 6months of successful ISD
Interval • Designed to improve strength and power more than endurance • Incorporates recovery after continual exercise • Useful for beginners • Work – rest - work
Interval • Exercise period is followed by rest interval • Rest relief (Passive recovery) • Work relief (Active recovery) • Work recovery ratio • 1:1 to 1:5 • 1 : 1.5 work interval allows the succeeding exercise interval to begin before recovery is complete
Interval Aerobic Interval Training • For patients with poor CV fitness • 2-15 minutes at 50-80% functional capacity Anaerobic Interval Training • For patients with high CV fitness • 30 sec – 4 minutes at 85-100% functional capacity • Usually results in greater lactic acid concentrations
Circuit • Series of exercise activities • Several exercise modes • Improves both strength and endurance
Circuit interval • Stresses both aerobic and anerobic systems • Delays the need for glycolysis and lactic acid production
Cool-down • Prevents • Pooling of blood • Post-exercise syncope • Ischemia, arrythmias, and other complications • Increases oxidation of metabolic waste
Cool-down • Length of cool-down phase proportional to intensity and length of the conditioning phase • Typical 30-40 aerobic exercise period • Warrants a 5-10 minute cool-down phase
Aerobic Conditioning program design Coronary Artery Disease Stroke and/or history of Hypertension Peripheral Vascular Disease COPD Diabetes Mellitus Well population
Coronary Artery Disease • In-patient phase • Out-patient phase • Maintenance phase
In – patient phase • 3 - 5 days • Objectives • Initiate early return to independence • Prevent deleterious effect of bed rest • Help allay anxiety and depression • Promote risk factor modification
In – patient phase • Role of PT • Sit- to- stand 1-3 days post-op • Orthostatic challenge to the CV system 3-5 days post-op • Low-level exercise program (1-3 METS)
