volume and intensity for the diffrent qualities of strength?
Strength: 40-50% 1-4 x 10-15
Power: 20-50% 2-4x 15-20

What are the stated benifits of resistance training for geriatirc patients?
, -Improve funciton
-maintain bone mass
-reduce cardiometabolic risk factors
What is the recommended strength training volume for a post stroke patient?
50-80% 1-3 x 10-15
When having a patient perform DCER exercises what should the therapist be
most concerned about when positioning the patient?
Modifying body position and external resistance accordingly to match ROM where
maximum load needs to be applied.
What is the most domminat contraction in functional activities?
Eccentric contractions.
Why are eccentric contractions able to produce more force then concentric
contractions?
Eccentric contractions recuit less motor units for the same amount of force production
as concentric.
more motor units left over for more total force production
For what stage(s) of healing would it be inappropriate to use eccentric exercise?
What stage(s) would it be appropriate?
Inappropriate: actue, early subacute
appropriate: late subacute= submaximal loads, slow speed
chronic= max load, fast speeds.
What patients may eccentric biased activity be contraindicated for?
- Post MI
- History of Coronary artery disese
_ History of pulmonary diseases
- uncontolled hypertension

When using plyos in a training program, what is the appropriate amount of rest in
between sessions?
48-72 hours
When using Plyometric exercises for power, what is a proper work to rest ratio?
1:3-4
When using plyometric exercises for endurance what is a proper work to rest
ratio?
1:1-2
