TRAINING GUIDELINES EXERCISE Exercise is one of the most important factors in the overall health of an individual. Listed among its benefits are: Increased capacity for physical work (strength endurance) Increased cardiovascular (heart and arteries/veins) and respiratory efficiency Decreased risk of coronary heart disease Changes in body metabolism, e.g. losing weight Delaying the physiological effects of age Physiological effects, e.g. reduction in stress, increase in self‐confidence, etc. BASIC COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS There are four all‐encompassing components of physical fitness and we need to briefly define each and clarify its role. Strength is the capacity of a muscle to exert a force against resistance. Strength contributes to power and speed and is of great importance to a majority of sports people. Muscular Endurance is the capacity to exert a force repeatedly over a period of time, e.g. it is the capacity of your legs to carry you 10 Km without stopping. Flexibility is the range of motion about a joint. Improving flexibility involves the stretching of muscles and tendons to maintain or increase suppleness and provides increased resistance to muscle injury or soreness. Cardio‐Respiratory Endurance is the most essential component of physical fitness. It is the efficient functioning of the heart and lungs AEROBIC FITNESS The largest amount of oxygen that you can use per minute during exercise is called your maximum oxygen uptake (MVo2). This is often referred to as your aerobic capacity. The effort that you can exert over a prolonged period of time is limited by your ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles. Regular vigorous exercise produces a training effect that can increase your aerobic capacity by as much as 20 to 30%. An increased MVO2 indicates an increased ability of the heart to pump blood, of the lungs to ventilate oxygen and of the muscles to take up oxygen. Anaerobic Training This means “without oxygen” and is the output of energy when the oxygen supply is insufficient to meet the body’s long‐term energy demands. (For example, 100‐meter sprint). The Training Threshold This is the minimum level of exercise which is required to produce significant improvements in any physical fitness parameter. ...
Page 28
Progression As your become fitter, a higher intensity of exercise is required to create an overload and therefore provide continued improvement Overload This is where you exercise at a level above that which can be carried out comfortably. The intensity, duration and frequency of exercise should be above the training threshold and should be gradually increased as the body adapts to the increasing demands. As your fitness level improves, so the training threshold should be raised. Working through your program and gradually increasing the overload factor is important. Specificity Different forms of exercise produce different results. The type of exercise that is carried out is specific both to the muscle groups being used and to the energy source involved. There is little transfer of the effects of exercise, i.e. from strength training to cardiovascular fitness. That is why it is important to have an exercise program tailored to your specific needs. Reversibility If you stop exercising or do not do your program often enough, you will lose the benefits you have gained. Regular workouts are the key to success. WARM UP Every exercise program should start with a warmup where the body is prepared for the effort to come. It should be gentle and preferably use the muscles to be involved later. Stretching should be included in both your warmup and cool down and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Warm Down or Cool Down This involves a gradual decrease in the intensity of the exercise session. Following exercise, a large supply of blood remains in the working muscles. If it is not returned promptly o the central circulation, pooling of blood may occur in the muscles Heart Rate As you exercise, so the rate at which your heartbeat also increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart. Your initial level of fitness is important in developing an exercise program for you. If you are starting off, you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110‐120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are fitter, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation. To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the conservative side. As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, so your heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness improves. ...

Muscle Soreness For the first week or so, this may be the only indication you have that you are on an exercise program. This, of course, does depend on your overall fitness level. A confirmation that you are on the correct program is a very slight soreness in most major muscle groups. This is quite normal and will disappear in a matter of days. If you experience major discomfort, you may be on a program that is too advanced, or you have increased your program too rapidly. If you experience PAIN during or after exercise, your body is telling you something. Stop exercising and consult your doctor. WHAT TO WEAR Wear clothing that will not restrict your movement in any way while exercising. Clothes should be light enough to allow the body to cool. Excessive clothing that causes you to perspire more than you normally would while exercising, gives you no advantage. The extra weight you lose is body fluid and will be replaced with the next glass of water you drink. It is advisable to wear a pair of gym or running shoes or “sneakers”. Breathing During Exercise Do not hold your breath while exercising. Breathe normally as much as possible. Remember, breathing involves the intake and distribution of oxygen, which feeds the working muscles. Rest periods Once you start your exercise program, you should continue through to the end. Do not break off halfway through and then restart at the same place later on without going through the warm‐up stage again. The rest period required between strength training exercises may vary from person to person. This will depend mostly on your level of fitness and the program you have chosen. Rest between exercises by all means, but do not allow this to exceed two minutes. Most people manage with half minute to one‐minute rest periods. customerservice@dyaco.ca 30 Dyaco Canada Inc 2020 1‐888‐707‐1880 ...

STRETCHING Stretching should be included in both your warmup and cool down and should be performed after 3‐5 minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt in the muscle and hold for 20‐30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control, making sure never to hold your breath.
