Individuality Specificity Progressive overload Rate of Adaptation Plateau - Ceiling Effect Rest Reversibility Balanced exercise Maintenance over-training Principles of Training
F.I.T.T. Aerobic Training • Frequency - 3 to 5 times per week • Intensity - 55 to 85% • of predicted heart rate • Time - 20 to 60 minutes per session. • Type(mode)- walking, running, swimming, cycling, hiking.., etc.
THE HEART • Size of Fist • Pumps 5 Liters of Blood Each Minute • 4 Chambers • Heart Rate (bts/minute) • Intensity Dependent • Resting • Sub-maximum • Maximum
Heart Calculations • Stroke Volume (ml/bt) • Cardiac Output (SV)(HR) • Maximum Heart Rate • Predicted Max. Heart Rate • Predicted Exercise HR • Lower (60%) • Upper (90)
The Lungs • Anatomy of Passage Way • O2 and C02 Exchange • Lung Function Tests • Air - Approximately • Nitrogen 79% • Oxygen 21% • Carbon dioxide 0.4% • Mechanics of Breathing
F.I.T.T. Strength and Endurance Training Frequency - Strength - 1 to 3 times per week Endurance - 3 to 5 times per week Intensity Strength - Lift 4 to 8 repetitions Approximately 50 to 80% Max. Endurance - 15 to 30 repetitions 25 to 50% Max.
Bones Joints Functions: • Locomotion • Manipulation • Protection • Marrow - Red Blood Cell Production • Support Mechanism
TYPE - Target Muscle Groups • Select appropriate exercises for the specific muscle groups • Train reciprocating muscle groups • Balance
Time • Allow body to adapt • 6 to 8 weeks • increase slowly • rest between sets or alternate upper and lower body
We Are, What We Are!!! • Achieve your potential
The Principles of Exercise Apply to everyone but Individual EFFECTS will VARY LIMITATIONS TO Training Aerobic Activity Strength + Endurance Flexibility Anaerobic Training
Fitness Equipment / Safety • Buy Appropriate SHOES • Wear Comfortable Clothing • TOO HOT! TOO COLD! • Run and Walk with a Friend More fun, safer, support system • Night Time: stay to the well lit areas • Seek Expert Fitness Advice…….
Keep Your Plan Manageable,Flexible,Varied and Fun • Start at a level suited for you • ask for help from an exercise professional • It’s OK to miss a session • Mirrors and Scales • Rest when you’re tired • Plan for the rest of your life • Eat ( Good or Bad Food) moderation, balance and personal taste
Getting Started Goals • with a specific goal in mind design a program with a certified exercise expert! Type of Program: endurance vs. Strength or a combination Consider ergometers: • stair climbers, bikes, rowers for endurance
Muscles • Contract - All or Nothing • Work Reciprocally • Adapt to Stress • Strength, Endurance, Posture • Smooth - Involuntary • blood vessels / digestive • Skeletal - Voluntary • biceps / triceps • Cardiac - spontaneous • heart
Improving Muscular Strength and Endurance • Muscular Strength: The amount of force that a muscle is capable of exerting • One Repetition Maximum (1RM) • Muscular Endurance: A muscle’s ability to exert force repeatedly
Principles of Strength Development • Tension Principle: • muscular tension • the strength gain • ……. Weight lifting is one method…….. • Weight machines (pulleys & cables), riding a bike up a hill • all methods work
Resistance Exercise Program • Part of a FITNESS Program to improve muscular strength and endurance • Goal - HYPERTROPHY
Muscle Action • ISOMETRIC M.A. • Force without movement • ISOTONIC M.A. • Force with movement • Concentric M. A. • Eccentric M. A. • Best Results a Combination…….
ISOKINETIC M.A. • The Rate of M.A. is predetermined • 600 / S, 900/S,1800 / S • Degrees per Second • Force does not change the rate • Cybex Rehabilitation Machine - very expensive, specialized, • therapeutic uses
Methods of Providing Resistance • Body Weight Resistance: sit-ups, push -ups, pull - ups (both concentric and eccentric m.a.) • Fixed Resistance: constant absolute resistance (barbells and dumbbells) Biomechanics - joint angles and applied force
Methods of Providing Resistance • Variable Resistance: • Nautilus Distributes the load to to the muscles so that at each angle the load (weight) lifted is altered • Accommodation: Resistance changes in response to the force - speed is kept constant
Be Kind to Your Muscles Warm-up: Activity Readiness • Increase body temperature, heart rate metabolic pathways, etc. • improves muscle performance • specific appropriate stretching Cardiovascular Conditioning • Frequency/ Intensity / Type/ Time Strength Training / EnduranceTraining Progressive, specific & appropriate Cool Down + Flexibility
Your Active Life Plan • Are you ready to start a program? • Health, Injuries, Attitude, reasons to exercises • Select activities that you like to do. • Walking, swimming, running, step class, aerobic, skating, skiing, cycling rowing…………etc,etc.. • Resistance Training • Weight Training / Body as Resistance • sit-ups, push-ups, free weights and wt. Machines…..they all work • Include: • Warm-up / stretching aerobic conditioning, strength/endurance training and flexibility improvements
