What are some factors that influence myokine production?
unhealthy lifestyle could lead to loss of muscle mass and
impaired myokine production
body weight, stress reduction, nutrition, daily movement, other
lifestyle factors
Despite the paucity of evidence for many physical therapy
interventions, physical activity, including resistive exercise,
is consistently shown to be _________ and _______ but a lot
of medical professionals are not equipped to counsel
patients on it.
beneficial, safe
Racial/ethnic minorities, low-socioeconomic status, and
LGBTQ+ populations are at ______ risk of being overweight,
____ likely to get exercise/ physical therapy prescriptions
that white patients and ______ likely to have access to
adequate care.
Disparities in resources available, social disadvantage, and
systemic discrimination
increase, less, less
Prescribing Exercise as Medicine
Preschool Age Children (3-5 yrs)
– Physically active throughout the day to enhance G&D
– Adult caregivers should encourage a ______ of active play
variety
Prescribing Exercise as Medicine
Children and Adolescents (6-17 yrs)
,– ≥ ____ minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity
daily
– Muscle strengthening ≥ ___ days/week
– Impact/weight bearing with overload ≥ ____ days/week
60, 3, 3
Prescribing Exercise as Medicine
Adults
– ____-______ minutes a week of moderate-intensity, or
_____-______
minutes/week of vigorous-intensity physical activity/week
– Muscle strengthening of all major muscle groups ≥ ____
days/week (moderate intensity or greater)
*any exercise is beneficial!*
150-300, 75-150, 2
Prescribing Exercise as Medicine
Older Adults
– All adult guidelines apply
– Should include _______ training as well as aerobic and
muscle
strengthening
Pregnancy/Postpartum
– At least ______ minutes of moderate-intensity/week
– Previous activity? Should be similar and can continue
during pregnancy
Adults with Chronic Health Conditions
– All adult guidelines apply
– Engage in regular physical activity according to their
abilities and
_______ inactivity
balance, 150, avoid
The individual set of adaptations launched are strongly, and
inextricably entwined with, and modulated by, background
_____-_______ influences at a given point in time, injury can
affect what that person's tissues can tolerate at a given time.
psycho-emotional
,Conceptualizes the dynamic response of an individual to an
imposed demand; considers load, frequency and change
following injury
As an individual suffers from an injury, the envelop of
function shifts to the manageable area has decreased and no
longer encompasses many previously manageable activities
the envelope of function is dynamic
Dye's envelope of function
Rating of Perceived Exertion vs. Reps in Reserve
• Great way to quantify effort across domains
• Relationship with _________
• ______ within many populations and exercise types
performance, reliable
RPE
One way to ensure resistive exercise is sufficient to achieve
our desired response is by using a patient-reported metric
that acknowledges ______-individual variability
inter
Rating of Perceived Exertion vs. Reps in Reserve
These metrics are not ______ quantities
-> as discussed previously, the same
work-out performed 1-week apart may result in different RPE
values for the same person -> dependent on background
contextual factors
fixed
Rating of Perceived Exertion vs. Reps in Reserve
Studies have shown that to achieve improvements in force
production or strength, one should target a RPE of ≥ ____ /10
(not always the goal tho)
*anchoring is important so that the patient knows how to
qualify RPE, especially if they do not have exercise
background*
7
Given the unique nature of exercise response between and
within individuals, it can be helpful to create a framework to
, identify what each individual brings to the table to help
determine the ______ dose of activity we want to prescribe.
optimal
can be a helpful tool and activity to work through
collaboratively with your patients to help provide structure to
our plan of care
could include: current activity, goal, stressors/mediators,
body positions, common movements, planes of motion,
extremity dominance, general strength quantities, energy
systems, etc (not one right way to do this)
needs analysis
the burden/stimulus that is applied to a human biological
system (could be weight, stress on individual or system, etc.)
there isn't good or bad ones
it can be quantified using many metrics
load
What might you want to know regarding these different
loads/exercises in regards to each patient?
-Background training prior to injury
- Injury Hx
- Goal(s) for return to activity (e.g. walking dog vs playing
basketball . . .)
- How different tissues respond to different types of loading (i.e.
weight-bearing,
non-impact vs. weight-bearing + impact)
The primary way in which we intervene to prescribe exercise
is modifying loads by manipulating the biomechanics of a
given exercise, we manipulate the motion (______) and/or
forces (_______) involved.
kinematics, kinetics
boundaries or features that limit motion of the entity
[individual] under consideration
- Serve to eliminate certain "configurations" of a response
