Exercise prescription — definition?
Systematic planning of exercise parameters for health or performance.
Safe practice — focus?
Minimize injury and adverse events during exercise.
Progression — purpose?
Gradually increase exercise stimulus for continued adaptation.
Volume — what?
Total amount of exercise performed, like duration or repetitions.
Adaptation — result?
Physiological or psychological changes from consistent exercise.
FITT — components?
Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.
Exercise intensity — expressed as?
Absolute (workload) or relative (%HRmax, %VO2peak).
Threshold-based intensity — uses?
Ventilatory or metabolic thresholds for personalized effort.
CPET — role?
Precise assessment of physiological thresholds for exercise prescription.
Non-response — meaning?
Lack of expected adaptation after training.
Heterogeneous response — describes?
Variability in metabolic response among individuals.
VAT outside range — indicates?
Potential misprescription of exercise intensity.
Physiological benefits — include?
Improved aerobic capacity, mitochondrial biogenesis, strength.
Mitochondrial biogenesis — process?
Formation of new mitochondria in cells.
Factors influencing response — include?
Specificity, individualisation, overload, reversibility.
Clinical exercise — considerations?
Safety, comorbidities, multidisciplinary approach, functional limitations.
Pre-exercise screening — purpose?
Identify risks, assess capacity, ensure safety.
Warm-up — main goal?
Increase muscle temperature and prepare cardiovascular system.
Cool-down — benefit?
Support recovery, prevent hypotension, reduce arrhythmia risk.
Monitoring intensity — tools?
Borg RPE, Talk Test, heart rate (%HRmax, %HRR), Reps in Reserve.
Adherence challenges — common?
Practical barriers, psychological barriers, non-compliance.
Behavioral stages — sequence?
Precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, termination.
