Sub-topics
IMPROVE FLEXIBILITY
Muscle Endurance
Endurance is the muscle ability to work repeatedly without fatigue.
Also important in sports such as football and rugby which involve repeated bursts of exercise.
Muscle endurance is also important for the bodys core muscles; in supporting the pelvis and spine.
RESTORING MUSCLE ENDURANCE AND POWER
Muscle Power
Muscle power on the other hand is the ability to produce force quickly.
This is important for explosive sports such as sprinting and long jumping.
2. Assists with posture by balancing the tension placed across the joint by the muscles that cross it.
3. Reduces the risk of injury during exercise and daily activities because muscles are more pliable.
Examples of co-morbidities
Heart Diseases
Arthritis
Cancer
Diabetes
Heart Diseases
Heart disease can be caused by excessive body weight that forces the heart to
work harder thus also leads to high blood pressure.
Regular exercise helps to reduce blood pressure and resting heart rate.
Cholesterol can also be reduced proportional with exercise regulation.
Arthritis
Bone pain and stiffness can be effectively reduced by exercising.
Range of motion would also be improved and this will reduce pain during
mobility.
Weight loss by exercising can lessen pressure held by joints.
Cancer
Exercise can lower the recurrence rate for those with breast cancer by
regulating the hormone levels.
Side effects of cancer treatment such as nausea and fatigue can also be
reduced by execising.
Diabetes
A good fitness level as a result of exercising can play a major role in
maintaining blood-glucose level.
Glucose will effectively being used to produce energy during exercise. Hence,
less glucose conversion into fat will occur.
Principles in exercise rehabilitation
REHABILITATION EXERCISE
Pain is the bodys response telling you to stop exercises.
The rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after you get injury.
This stage is often rushed and will result in poor quality healing and will be
prone to re-injury.
Mid stage rehabilitation
Rehabilitation involves progressively loading the muscles/tendons/bones or
ligaments to develop tensile strength producing a healed tissue that will be
able to withstand the stresses and strains of everyday life and exercise.
Late stage rehabilitation
The final stage (late) of rehabilitation is where the tissue adapts and is
stressed using functional exercises and drills to ensure the body is ready to
return to play.
Functional exercises
Related to the sport or activity you are returning to. There are a number of generic exercises
that can be applies to multiple sports and should be performed in the early stages of
rehabilitation.
To effectively and efficiently return to the specific sport during which the injury occurred it
is important to perform exercises that replicate activities and movements in that particular
sport.
Example In rugby sports, it is important to perform drills that are used in training such as
tackling or passing. Muscles, ligaments and tendons adapt to the stresses and strains that
they are placed under and therefore they adapt to specific activities and sports. It is
important to bear this in mind when performing late stage rehabilitation.
