1. Navigating the Exercise Prescription Road Map to Healthy Recovery
This chapter will review the principles of therapeutic exercise and the physiological principles behind how exercise can facilitate tissue healing. Viewers will be introduced to terminology, including mechanotherapy, or the turning of movement into repair. Introduction of common tissue healing times and physiological adaptations will be discussed, including a discussion on mechanotherapy/mechanotransduction and how exercise promotes tissue repair.
2. Prescription Training Principles and Variables Estimated Length
This chapter will review exercise training principles, including progressive overload, specificity, variation, reversibility, and individualization. Recommendations and basic principles of resistance training in accordance with the American College of Sports Medicine are introduced, including training guidelines for strength, power, endurance, hypertrophy, and plyometric training. Progression in terms of duration, speed, distance, and repetitions will be discussed.
3. Load Management
We will discuss the principle of "optimal loading," including characteristics of optimal versus suboptimal loading and tissue-specific loading factors. The POLICE principle is explained with regard to acute injury management.
4. Framework for Exercise Prescription and Progression
This chapter will discuss clinical decision-making with regard to initiation, progression, and regression of exercise. Further phases of progression will be focused on extrinsic factors, such as change in stimulus or the environment in which the exercise is performed. A sample exercise progression program is provided to the viewer at the end of this chapter.
5. FITTSBALL
This chapter will introduce the viewer to a more holistic approach to exercise prescription that blends the technical domain with the cognitive-behavioral domain and methods for improving patient adherence to exercise.
