Professionalism
1) Abide by code of ethics
2) Conduct yourself in a manner that merits respect
3) Treat each client and colleague with respect
4)No false or derogitory comments towards clients or colleagues practices
5) Appropriate communication
6)Maintain a safe enviroment
a) Don't diagnose or treat illness, only basic first aid
b) Don't train clients with illness or condition
c) Don't train clients before reviewing health history questionaire
d) Must hold CPR/ AED certs at all times
Professionalism continued
7) Refer clients to proper medical practitioner when if the client becomes aware of a change in health
8) Refer client to healthcare professionals when they request nutritional and supplemental information
9)Maintain personal hygiene
10) Wear professional attire
11) Stay current through continuing education
Todays health issues
1) 33% of adults are overweight and 16% of teenagers
2) 80% of persons over 65 have at least one chronic illness and 50% have two or more
3) one in five adults report doctor diagnosed arthritis... the leading cause of disability
Evidence of muscular dysfunction and increased injury
1) research suggests that musculoskelatal is more common today than 40 years ago, lending itself to the idea that decrease in activity may lead to muscular dysfunction and ultimately injury
2)lower back pain is one of the major forms of musculoskelatal degeneration, affecting 80% of all adults
3) 100,000 people injure their ACL annually with a strong correlation in knee arthriris. 70% are non contact and usually occur between age 15 and 25
Deconditioned
a state of lost physical fitness, which may include muscle imbalances, decreased flexibility, and lack of core and joint stability
* the musculskeletal system is very easily overtrained when it is deconditioned
Proprioception
the cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement
* a propriceptively enriched enviroment is one that challenges the internal balance and stabilization mechanisms of the body
Proprioceptively enriched enviroment
an unstable (yet controllable) physical situation in which exercises are performed that causes the body to use its internal balance and stabilization mechanisms
Training today
There is a new state of training in which the client has been molded by furniture, gravity and inactivity (contributing to the postural deficiencies seen in people today) so todays client isn't ready to begin PT at the same level a client twenty years ago would have
Integrated Training
a concept that incorporates all forms of training in an integrated fashion as part of a PROGRESSIVE system.
*Including cardiorespitory, core, balance, reactive, speed agility, quickness and resistance training... Termed OPT
Optimal Training Performance Model
Based on the scientific rationale of human movement science, it is a process of training that sytematically progresses any client to any goal. It highlights three benefits and is divided into three phases of training.
Physiolgic Benefits
*improves cardiorespiratory efficiency
*enhances beneficial endocrine and serum lipid adaptations
*increases metabolic efficiency
*increases tissue tensile strength
*increases bone density
Physical Benefits
*decreases body fat
*increases lean body mass (muscle)
Performance benefits
*strength
*power
*endurance
*flexibility
*speed
*agility
*balance
Phases of Training
smaller divisions of training progressions that fall within the three building blocks of training.
Muscular Endurance
a muscles ability to contract for an extended period of time
Neuromuscular efficiency
the ability of the neuromuscular system to enable all muscles to efficiently work together in all planes of motion
Stabilization level
Phase one of OTP, the main focus of this form of training is to increase muscular endurance and stability while developing optimal communication between ones nervous system and muscular system (neuromuscular efficiency). Difficulty is increased by introducing more challenges to the balance and stabilization systems of the body instead of increasing the load. The goal is to increase the clients ability to stabilize thier joints and posture and must be done BEFORE strength and power training.
Goals and strategies of stabilization training
*improve muscular endurance
*enhance joint stability
*increase flexibility
*enhance control of posture
*increase neuromuscular efficieny (balance, stabilization)
TRAINING STRATEGIES
*corrective flexibility
*Proprioceptively enriched traing
*low loads, high repetition
Strength Level
Emphasis is to maintain stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength, consists of three phases.
1)strength endurance
2)hypertrophy
3)maximal strength
Strength endurance-Emphasis is to maintain stabilization endurance while increasing prime mover strength, consists of three phases.
hypertrophy-for individuals who have a goal of maximal muscle growth
Maximal strength-maximal prime mover strength obtained by lifting heavy loads.
