  1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION • Targeted toward C-V Respiratory Fitness, Muscular Strength and Endurance, and Flexibility • Includes Overload, Specificity, and Compliance • Designed to enhance physical fitness, promote health, and ensure safety during exercise

  2. EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION • Devised based on HR, BP, RPE, ECG, response to exercise • Information garnered from an exercise test

  3. ART OF EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION • Based on Individual needs, goals, interests, and clinical status • This involves behavioral modification and exercise preference • Can not be implemented in a Rigid Fashion • Modification based on individual response and adaptation • Long term compliance is ultimate goal

  4. COMPONENTS • Mode • Intensity • Duration • Frequency • Progression

  5. WORK-OUT FORMAT • Warm-up- 10 min • Endurance Phase • Recreational Activities-optional • Cool-down- 5 to 10 min

  6. CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS • Mode-Group 1, 2 or 3 type of activities- things to consider include injury risk, obesity, novice exerciser and compliance • Intensity- 40-85% of HRR or 55-90% HR max--inversely related to duration • using METS = (%) (VO2 max-VO2 rest) + VO2 rest • using HR-direct method, % max HR, % of HRR

  7. CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS • Intensity • RPE-especially good for low fitness levels, diseased people and those on meds • Duration-consider time constraints, fitness level, goals, and total volume of exercise • Frequency-based on goals and clinical status- see charts on caloric expenditures • Progression-initial, improvement, and maintenance

  8. SPECIFICITY • Transfer of training effects • Training effects come more from peripheral affects than central • Must train arms and legs

  9. FLEXIBILITY • Areas most needed to address • Especially important for elderly • Static active stretches the best • 2-3 days/wk, mild discomfort, 10-30 sec, 3-4 times/stretch

  10. MUSCULAR FITNESS • Static or Dynamic Exercises • Correct breathing and biomechanics • Strength and Endurance • 8-10 separate exercises per major group • 8-12 reps or 10-15 reps per set • 2-3 days per week • Reduces injury, increase bone mineral and connective tissue strength
