help maintain a balanced pH
How does the diaphragm influence core stability - ANSWER it regulates intrabdominal
pressure needed for stability of the spine
What is the prevalence of dysfunctional breathing in the general population - ANSWER
5-11%
What are pathologies are linked to dysfunctional breathing - ANSWER thoracic, lumbar,
and SI joint dysfunction, disc lesions, spondylolisthesis, myofacial pain, and disc
degeneration
What are the core breathing muscles - ANSWER diaphragm, transverse abdominis,
multifidi, pelvic floor muscles, and intercostal muscles
What are the accessory breathing muscles - ANSWER upper trapezius, scalene, SCM,
levator scapula, and pectoralis major and minor
What should be longer the inhalation or exhalation - ANSWER exhalation
What should the angle of the rib cage be - ANSWER 90 degrees
What tests can be done to determine if a person has dysfunctional breathing - ANSWER
high-low test, breath holding test, and 1st rib elevation test
How long should the person be able to hold their breath for - ANSWER 20 seconds
What are the effects of cardio - ANSWER increase whole body blood flow, stimulated
release of endorphins, maintain or improve fitness level, increase body and tissue
temperature
What is cardiorespiratory endurance - ANSWER Ability to perform whole-body activities
for extended periods of time without undue fatigue
What are cardiorespiratory training effects - ANSWER heart, blood vessels, blood, lungs
What is stroke volume - ANSWER amount of blood pumped per beat
What is the formula for cardiac output - ANSWER heart rate x stroke volume
What are the benefits of a good cardiac output - ANSWER increases stroke volume,
decreases exercise and resting heart rate, increase heart efficiency
, What are the things that are decreased by cardiovascular training - ANSWER resting
heart rate, recovery time, and muscle glycogen use
What are the things that are increased by cardiovascular training - ANSWER stroke
volume and functional capacity in lungs
What are the things that are unchanged by cardiovascular training - ANSWER cardiac
output
What is maximal aerobic capacity - ANSWER amount of oxygen used during exercise,
good indicator of cardiorespiratory endurance
What is the basic goal of aerobic training - ANSWER increase HR, Increase Blood flow;
Increase body temp, effect neuro-activity; build confidence in patient
What is the benefit of HIIT training - ANSWER typically produces better results
How can you change something from regular training to HIIT training - ANSWER make
them timed with a break in between
What is a functional exercise - ANSWER activites that advance a patient to a safe return
to participation
What is a functional test/evaluation - ANSWER performed throughout the rehab
program, assessment tool used to advance exercises
What are the goals of functional exercise - ANSWER full flexibility, strength, endurance,
and coordination, functional ability of speed, power, control, and agility, exercises to
restore self-confidence, return to full participation safely and efficiently
What are the basic skills - ANSWER balance, speed, agility, power, endurance, and
aerobic and anaerobic
What are the functional tests that can be done - ANSWER function movement system,
functional capacity exam, fitness testing, sport/job/life specific testing, balance testing
What is neuromuscular control - ANSWER mind's attempt to teach the body conscious
control of a specific movement
What type of exercises are critical for re-establishing neuromuscular control - ANSWER
functional exercises
