Rehabilitation

• MAINTAINING CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS DURING REHAB

2
Why cardio fitness

• During injury time , the athlete is forced to
  miss training time , and thus levels of cardio
  fitness decrease rapidly
• Cardio respiratory endurance by definition is the
  ability to perform whole body activities for
  extended periods of time without undue fatigue

3
MAXIMAL AEROBIC CAPACITY

• Is an inherited characteristic
• Is based on percentage of slow twitch to fast
  twitch muscle fibres
• The greater the ratio of slow to fast, the
  greater the potential for higher max VO2

TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CR ENDURANCE

• Are 4 general classifications of CR training
• 1. continuous
• 2. interval
• 3. fartlek
• 4. circuits

5
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CR ENDURANCE

• 1. continuous training
• F (frequency) 3-6xs/week
• I (intensity) monitor HR
• Karvonen method Target HR
• rHR (maxHR rHR)
• or Rate of perceived exertion (RPE) b/t 6-20
• T (type) must be aerobic, whole body
• T (time) 20-60 minutes

6
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CR ENDURANCE

• 2. interval training
• Involves periods of work and rest/active recovery
• Tends to be more sport specific
• Use sets and reps
• i.e. 4 x 60 on, 2 off
• 10 x 400m on, 200m off

7
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CR ENDURANCE

• 3. fartlek training
• Swedish word for speed play
• Tends to be less boring because terrain and
  intervals change

8
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CR ENDURANCE

• 4. Circuits
• Combines continuous training and weight training
• Very common in military fitness regimes

9
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CARDIORESPIRATORY
FITNESS

• Must Consider
• Nature of injury and techniques available as a
  result of injury
• Upper vs. Lower extremity injury
• Match fitness
• Engagement of functional activities specific to
  sport to maintain fitness

10
TECHNIQUES FOR MAINTAINING CARDIORESPIRATORY
FITNESS

• FITT Principle
• Frequency
• Intensity
• Type (mode)
• Time (duration)
• Frequency
• 3x/week minimum to 6x/week
• Must have at least 1 rest day
