Power
Strength
Endurance
MUSCLE PERFORMANCE
STRENGTH
• Ability of contractile tissue
to produce tension and a
resultant force based on the
demands placed upon it
• Greatest measureable force
that can be exerted to
overcome resistance in one
maximum effort
STRENGTH TRAINING
• A systematic procedure of a muscle or
muscle group lifting, lowering, or
controlling resistance for a particular
number of repetitions or over a short
period of time
Principles of Resistance Exercise
Overload
SAID
Reversibility
Overload Principle
• If improvements in muscle performance is
desired, the muscle must be challenged to
perform at a level greater than that to
which it is accustomed to
• Progressive loading of muscle through
increasing intensity or volume
SAID Principle
S pecific
A daptation to
I mposed
D emands
• A framework of specificity is a necessary
foundation on which exercise programs
should be built
Reversibility Principle
• Unless training-induced improvements
are regularly used or resistance exercises
are maintained, adaptive changes are only
temporary
• Detraining begins at one to two weeks
after cessation of exercise
Effect of Strength Training
Increase in the maximum force-producing
capacity of muscle due to physiological
adaptations of the body to resistance
exercise

functional activities
Alignment
• Muscle Action
– The direction of movement of a limb or
segment of the body replicates the action of
the muscle or muscle group being
strengthened
• Gravity
– Muscle being strengthened should act against
the resistance of gravity and additional force
provided by a device/equipment
Stabilization
• Refers to holding down a body segment or
keeping the segment/body steady during
performance of exercise
– External
– Internal
Intensity
• aka training load, exercise load
• Amount of resistance imposed on the
contracting during each repetition
• Should follow the overload principle
– Intensity is greater than the usual load
carried and progressively and gradually
increased
Intensity:
Sub-maximal Loading
Indications
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
At the beginning of exercise
During early stage of soft tissue healing
After immobilization
Children and older adults
Improvement of muscular endurance
During warm up and cool down
During slow-velocity isokinetic training
Intensity:
Maximal Loading
Indications
• Goal to increase strength and power and muscle
size
• Healthy individuals in the advanced phase of a
rehab program
• Conditioning program for the well population
• Training for competitive weight lifting and
body building
Intensity:
Determining the Amount of Load
• Repetition Maximum
• Other methods
– Cable tensiometry
– Dynamometry (hand-held, isokinetic)
– Percentage body weight
Intensity:
Calculating Initial Load
• As a factor of repetition maximum
– Sedentary individuals/untrained
individuals/children/elderly:
30% to 40% of 1RM
– Patients with significant strength impairments:
30% to 50% of 1RM
– Highly trained individuals:
80% to 95% of 1RM
Intensity:
Calculating Initial Load
• As a factor of body weight (percentage)
– Universal bench press: 30% body weight
– Universal leg extension: 20% body weight
– Universal leg curl: 10-15% body weight
– Universal leg press: 50% body weight
Volume
• Summation of the total number of
repetitions and sets of a particular
exercise during a single session
• Inverse relationship between intensity
and volume of resistance exercise
• Repetitions vs. Sets
Volume:
Training to Improve Strength
• Exercise protocols
– De Lorme
– Oxford
– DAPRE
• Use an exercise load that cause fatigue
after 6 to 12 repetitions for two to three
sets; if fatigue no longer occurs, increase
level of resistance
Exercise Order
• Refers to the sequence in which muscle
groups are exercised during a session
– Large muscle groups before small, isolated
muscles
– Multi-joint muscles before single-joint
muscles
– Higher intensity exercise before lower
intensity (following an appropriate warm up)
Frequency
• Number of sessions performed in a day or
in a week
• Dependent on the following factors:
–
–
–
–
–
–
Intensity
Volume
Patient’s goals
Health status
Previous participation in resistance exercise
Response to training
Frequency:
Guidelines
• Low intensity, low volume: short sessions
performed daily or several times daily
• As intensity and volume increases:
frequency decreases to every other day or
up to five sessions weekly
• Frequency of two times weekly for
maintenance programs
Frequency:
Guidelines
• Prepubescent children and very old:
frequency is two to three times/sessions
weekly
• Highly-trained athletes: high intensity and
high volume performed 6 days per week
Rest Interval
• aka recovery period
• Rest between sets and exercise sessions
• Dependent on the intensity and volume of
exercise as well as status
• Active recovery is more efficient than
passive recovery to neutralize effects of
fatigue
• Decreasing rest interval between bouts
and sessions as strategy to increase dosage
Duration
• Total number of weeks or months that the
resistance exercise program is performed
– For hypertrophy or increase in
vascularization to occur, at least 6 to 12
weeks of resistance training is needed
– Depending on the nature of impairment, the
training program may last from about a
month or two to lifetime training to maintain
optimal function
Mode of Exercise
• The form or type of exercise or the
manner in which the exercise is carried
out
• Classification:
–
–
–
–
–
Forms of exercise
Type of muscle contraction
Weight bearing vs Non-weight bearing
Energy system used
Short arc vs Full arc exercise
Mode of Exercise:
Forms of Exercise
• Manual and mechanical resistance
• Constant or variable load through free
weights/weigh machines
• Accommodating resistance using
isokinetic dynamometer
• Body weight as resistance
Mode of Exercise:
Type of Muscle Contraction
• Isometric or dynamic muscle contraction
– Dynamic can be performed either
CONCENTRICALLY or
ECCENTRICALLY
• Isokinetic contraction: speed of limb
movement is held constant by a
device/equipment (controlled dynamic
contraction)
Mode of Exercise:
Weight-bearing vs Nonweight-bearing
• Nonweight-bearing with distal extremity
moving: open-chain exercise
• Weight bearing with body moving over a
fixed distal segment/extremity: closedchain exercise
Mode of Exercise:
Energy Systems
• Anaerobic exercise: high-intensity
exercise carried out for a limited number
of repetitions and utilized as part of a
strengthening exercise program
Mode of Exercise:
Short-arc vs Full-arc
• Full-arc: develop strength throughout the
entire range of motion
• Short-arc: utilized to avoid painful motion
or a part of the range where the joint is
unstable and to protect healing tissues
following injury
Velocity
• Refers to the speed
with which an
exercise is performed
• Varies with
concentric and
eccentric muscle
contraction
Velocity:
Implication to Resistance Training
• With free weights, slow to medium
speed/velocity of movement is safer and
more effective as patient can maintain
control of movement
• Speed-specific training
• Plyometric training
• Isokinetic training
Periodization
• aka periodized training
• A method of designing a systematic
variation in exercise intensity and volume
at regular intervals over a specified period
of time
• Used to limit overtraining and
psychologic staleness
• Designed for preparing athletes for
competition
Integration to Function
• Balance of stability and active mobility
– Exercise program should address both static
and dynamic strength of the trunk and
extremitites
• Balance of strength, power, and
endurance
• Progression of movement patterns
– Isolated strengthening, combined patterns,
task-oriented movement patterns
Manual Resistance Exercise
• A form of active-resistive exercise in
which resistance is applied by the
therapist to a dynamic or a static muscle
contraction
– Throughout the available ROM
– Various planes of motion
– Isolated muscle contraction or group of
muscles

– Amortization phase: period of time between
stretch and shortening cycles
– Shortening cycle : concentric phase
• Sources of resistance: body weight,
external load

rehabilitation of active individuals
requiring high level of physical
performance in high-demand activities
• CRITEARIA for Plyometric Training:
– 80 to 85% level of strength
– 90 to 95% ROM
Exercise Regimens:
Isokinetic Regimens
• Velocity Spectrum Rehabilitation
– Performance of exercises at various velocities
• Limb is accelerated at the predetermined
speed/velocity then resistance is applied by
the torque arm of the dynamometer
through a small portion of the ROM
• Performed without pain
Exercise Regimens:
Isokinetic Regimens
• Training velocities
– Medium angular velocity: 60/90-180
degrees/sec
– Fast angular velocity: 180-360 degrees/sec
– Increments of 30 degrees/sec
• Sub-maximal intensity/effort for a brief
warm-up period  maximal intensity
Exercise Regimens:
Isokinetic Regimens
• One or two sets of 8-10 upto 20
repetitions of concentric contractions of
antagonist muscle groups at multiple
velocities
• Rest of 15-20 seconds between sets and
60 seconds rest period between exercise
speeds

individual muscle groups when strength deficits
persist
Exercise Regimens:
Isokinetic Regimens
Eccentric Isokinetic Training
Isometric Exercise
• aka static exercise
• Muscle contracts and produces force
without change in length of the muscle
and without visible joint motion
• Sources of resistance:
– Manually, weights, maintaining a position
against body weight, pushing/pulling an
immovable object
Rationale and Indications
• Prevent or minimize muscle atrophy when joint
motion is not possible due to external
immobilization
• Activate muscles to begin to re-establish control
and protect healing tissues following soft tissue
injury or surgery
• Develop postural or joint stability
• Improve muscle strength if dynamic exercise could
cause joint pain and compromise joint integrity
• Develop static muscle strength st particular points
in the ROM needed for specific task-related needs
Types of Isometric Exercise
• Muscle-setting exercise
• Stabilization exercise
• Multiple-angle isometrics
Muscle-setting Exercise
• Low intensity isometric exercise
performed against little to no resistance
• Benefits:
– Promotes relaxation and circulation
– Decrease muscle pain and spasm after injury
to soft tissues during acute stage of healing
– Maintains mobility between muscle fibers
during healing
– Retard atrophy during immobilization
Stabilization Exercise
• Benefits:
– Develop sub-maximal but sustained level of
co-contraction
– Reduce instabililty
– Enhance joint or postural stabililty
• Variations:
– Rhythmic stabilization
– Alternating isometrics
– Dynamic stabilization
Multiple-angle Isometrics
• A system of isometric exercise where
resistance is applied manually or
mechanically at multiple joint positions
within the available ROM
• Goals:
– Improve strength throughout ROM but
dynamic resistive exercise causes pain or not
advised
Considerations
• Intensity: dependent on joint position
• Duration: held for 6-10 seconds to allow
for peak tension to develop and for
metabolic changes to occur
• Repetitive Contractions: decreases
muscle cramping and increases
effectiveness of the regimen
• Joint Angle: resistance at 4-6 points in
the available ROM
Limitations
• Improvements occur only at or closely
adjacent to the training angle
• Little or no carry-over of strength gains
to dynamic exercise
• Not as effective for developing muscle
endurance as resisted dynamic exercise
Guidelines: Healthy Adults (<60 y/o)
• Perform warm-up activities followed by
flexibility exercises prior to resistance training
• For total body muscular fitness: perform dynamic
exercises that target approx 8-10 muscle groups
of the U/LE
• Balance flexion-dominant (pulling) with
extension-dominant (pushing) exercises
• Move through the full, available, and pain-free
ROM
• Include both concentric (lifting) and
eccentric(lowering) muscle actions
Guidelines: Healthy Adults (<60 y/o)
• Use moderate-intensity exercises at least 8-12
repetitions per set
• Perform 1-3 sets of each exercise
• Include rest periods of 30-60 seconds between
sets
• Frequency of 2-3 times per week
• Use slow to moderate speeds of movement
• Use rhythmic, controlled, non-ballistic
movements
• Cool down after the completion of exercise
Guidelines: Healthy Adults (<60 y/o)
• Exercises should not interfere with breathing:
avoid valsalva maneuver
• Increase intensity gradually (5% increments)
as progression
• Train with a partner for feedback and
assistance, if possible
• When re-initiating weight training after a
period of exercise cessation (>1-2 weeks),
reduce resistance and volume of exercise
Guidelines: Older Adults (>60 y/o)
• Perform at least 5-10 minutes of warm-up
activities before each session of resistance
exercises
• Low to moderate levels at 10-12 repetitions for
6-8 weeks
• Perform resistance training 2-3x weekly,
allowing 48-hour rest periods between sessions
• Avoid flexion-dominant resistance training that
could emphasize postural changes
Guidelines: Older Adults (>60 y/o)
• Low intensity exercise to minimize excessive
stress on the joints
• Resistance training should be initiated with close
supervision and minimal resistance
• Maintain functional ROM
• Monitor vital signs, especially when the
program is progressed
• After a 1 to 2-week layoff, reduce the intensity
of weight training by 50%
Resistance Exercise Among Pre-adolescents
(Blimkie, C., 1993)
• Pre-adolescence: period between pre- and
early puberty until 11 y/o (girls) and 13
y/o (boys)
• Remained to be a debatable issue among
the lay and scientific community
• Positive correlation of strength gains and
resistance training can not be generalized
due to methodological flaws and limited
literature

Goals
• Maintain activity
• Enjoy movement
• Develop lifelong
activity habits
Guidelines: Children and Adolescents
• No formal resistance training for children less
than 6 to 7 years old
• At age 6 to 7, introduce the concept of exercise
initially without weights  using light weights
• Maintain close and continuous supervision by a
trained personnel or a parent who has received
instructions
• Focus on proper form, exercise technique, and
safety: alignment, stabilization, and controlled
motion
Guidelines: Children and Adolescents
• Perform warm-up and cool down for 5 to10 mins
• Low exercise loads of at least 8 to 12 or 12-15
repetitions
• Perform 1 to 2 sets of each exercise allowing rest
periods of about 3 minutes between sets
• Frequency limited to 2 exercise sessions per week
• Initial progression through increasing repetitions,
not resistance; or increasing the total number of
exercise  increase resistance by 5% at a time
• Gradually progress activities
Guidelines: Children and Adolescents
• Provide a variety of activities that target larger
muscle groups, multi-joint, combined exercises
• Focus on active, creative, enjoyable play in
very young children
• Encourage children >6 yrs to accumulate a
minimum of 30 minutes of at least moderateintensity activity in most, if not all, days of the
week
• Encourage older children to participate in 2030 minutes of higher intensity activity at least
3x a week
Specific Guidelines
• Encourage resistance training as only one
of a variety of normal recreational and
sport activities
• Encourage using a variety of different
training modalities (free weights, body
weight, etc)
• Discourage inter-individual competition,
and stress the importance of personal
improvement
Specific Guidelines
• Discourage extremely high intensity
(loading) efforts
• Avoid isolated eccentric training
• Encourage a circuit system approach to
capitalize on possible cardiorespiratory
benefits
Precautions: Children and Adolescents
• Ensure safety as children are anatomically,
physiologically, and psychologically immature
– Use appropriate equipment, match activity to
maturation or skill level, provide adequate skill
preparation
• Children are less tolerant to high heat load and
increased susceptibility to hypothermia in a cold
environment
– Limit strenuous prolonged exercise, provide
good hydration, and use appropriate clothing
