OBESITY & OVERWEIGHTBrenton Orullian
Overweight and Obesity can be classified as extra body weight with a BMI most commonly used to describe the condition.
Overweight and Obesity are linked to numerous chronic diseases such as CVD, many forms of cancer, and diabetes.
Classification of BMI Underweight= <18.5 Normal= 18.5-24.9 Overweight= 25.0-29.9 Obesity
I 30.0-34.9 II 35.0-39.9 III ≥40.0
*Studies show that 68% of adults are in the overweight category, 32% are in class I obesity, and 5% are in class III.
Exercise Guidelines
F= ≥5 days per week I= Moderate to vigorous intensity
aerobic activity T= Minimum of 30 min per day
progressing to 60 min per day T= Primary mode of exercise should
be aerobic involving large muscle groups
P= 40%-<60% of VO2R progressing to more vigorous intensity ( ≥60% VO2R )
Resistance Guidelines
F= Large muscle groups (i.e. chest, back upper and lower, shoulders
Legs, 2-3 days a week I= 60-70% of 1 RM T= No specific Duration T= Resistance Exercises involving each
major muscle group are recommended P= A gradual progression of greater
resistance and or more repetitions per set

Arthritis and Exercise Recommendations
By Ben Bergdorf
ArthritisDescription: degenerative joint condition that
causes inflammation and pain.
Types: >100 types of arthritis. Most common are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is a local degenerative condition. Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic joint condition.
Causes: Disuse or overuse can cause cartilage degeneration (osteoarthritis), rheumatoid arthritis is immunological in origin.
Arthritis (cont.)Prevention and prescription:
Moderate mechanical loading has been shown to preserve articular cartilage (Sun, 2010). Moderate exercise can help arthritis sufferers manage pain better and increase function (ACSM, 2013).
Cardiorespiratory exercise prescriptionFrequency: 3-5 days/week
Intensity: Undetermined. Light to moderate intensity is recommended 40-<60% of the VO2R (or HRR)
Time: ≥ 150 min/week. Shorten bouts if lengthy exercise sessions can not be tolerated (e.g. shorten bouts to 10 minutes).
Type: Walking, cycling, swimming or other low joint stress activities. Not recommended: running, stair climbing, etc.
Progression: progression is individual, and should increase gradually as they are able to tolerate it.
Resistance training prescriptionFrequency: 2-3 days/week
Intensity: Undetermined. Light and high intensity resistance training has shown improvements. Most research has focused on light/moderate intensity: higher repetitions (10-15) at 40-60% of the 1 RM.
Time: Undetermined. Same as for healthy adults.
Type: Major muscle groups are targets. Flexibility and ROM should be emphasized.
Progression: progression is individualized and should be gradually increased depending on the person’s pain or symptoms.
Special considerationsStrenuous activity that exacerbates pain during
inflammation or flare-ups should be avoided.
Some discomfort is normal after exercise, but if after 2 hours this pain is greater than before exercise, the training intensity or time should be reduced.
Rheumatoid arthritis patients may experience a worsening of symptoms through intense training. So keep grandma away from the heavy preacher curls.

OsteoporosisLogan Kupitz
What is Osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects the skeletal structure in the body. It is characterized by a low bone mineral density, which causes the bones to become fragile, and more susceptible to fracture. 44 million American’s are at risk for this disease and is responsible for over 1.5 million fractures a year in the U.S.A.
Guidelines for Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF) exercise prescription
Frequency:
3-5 days per week
Intensity:
Moderate intensity; 40-60% VO2R or HRR
Time:
30-60 minutes a day
Type:
Weight-bearing aerobic activities (i.e stair climb/descent, walking, jogging)
Progression:
Start at lower intensities recommended and progress as situation permits
Guidelines for Resistance Training (RT) exercise prescription:
Frequency:
2-3 days per week
Intensity:
Moderate intensity; 60-80% 1-RM, 8-12 reps involving all major muscle groups
Time:
30-60 minutes a day
Type:
Resistance training involving major muscle groups
Progression:
Start at lower intensities, if situation permits raise intensity levels
Contraindications
Individuals who have osteoporosis don’t have many contraindications to exercise or physical activity. Activity/exercise should be discontinued/changed if it causes, or exacerbates pain. Those with severe osteoporosis should start at lower intensities as to lessen risk of injury. Max testing may be contraindicated for those who have severe osteoporosis. There are no established guidelines for contraindications for osteoporosis patients.
ASTHMA
ASTHMA• Asthma is a disorder that causes inflammation of the
airways. • Symptoms• Bronchial Hypertension• Airflow Obstruction• Recurring Wheezing• Dyspnea (labored breathing)• Chest Tightness• Severe Coughing (can be worse in the morning and
at night)Exercising can provoke and worsen symptoms
CRF Guidelines Exercise at least 2-3 days a week Intensity • 60% of VO2 Peak• 80% of max walking speed
20-30 minutes Mode• Walking• Running• Cycling• Swimming
Resistance Prescription
• Resistance Prescription is the same as healthy adults• 2-3 days a week• 48 hrs. rest between workouts of the same
muscle group
Contraindications
• Experiencing Symptoms do not exercise• Use of inhalers (short-acting bronchodilators)
may be necessary• Treatment with Corticosteroids• Exercise in cold environments or with airborne
allergens or pollutants restricts activity• Bronchoconstriction triggered by high intensity
exercise
Hypertension and ExercisePresented By: Michael Roller
Hypertension Approximately 76 million Americans have
hypertension.
Systolic Blood Pressure ≥140 mm Hg and/or Diastolic Blood Pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg.
Hypertension leads to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and chronic kidney disease.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Frequency - Most days of the week, preferably all days.
Intensity - Moderate Intensity (40% - <60% VO2max) (RPE of 11 - 13 on Borg scale)
Time - 30 to 60 minutes per day. Can be broken up intermittently in at lease 10 minute bouts.
Type - aerobic exercise that they feel comfortable doing. (Walking, Cycling, Jogging, etc.)
Progression - Gradual progression. Avoiding any quick or large increases in intensity especially.
Evidence
Resistance Training Frequency - 2 to 3 days/week.
Intensity - 60% to 80% of 1 RM.
Time - At least one set of 8 - 12 repetitions for all major muscle groups.
Type - Machine or Free Weight exercises.
Progression - Gradual progression. Avoiding any quick or large increases in intensity especially.
Contraindications Must have medical exam and be managing blood pressure to begin exercise training.
Patients with target organ diseases should have non-symptomatic exercise test
monitored by a physician.
if Systolic Blood Pressure is ≥ 200 mm Hg and/or Diastolic Blood Pressure ≥ 110 mm
Hg exercising testing should be done ONLY if benefits outweigh risks.
Anti-Hypertensive medication can cause sudden excessive drops in post exercise
blood pressure.
Avoid Valsalva maneuver in resistance training.
Patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (SBP ≥180 mmHg and/or DBP ≥ 110
mmHg) exercise training should only be started after being evaluated and cleared by
a physician.

Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral PalsyNon-progressive lesion of the brain
occurring before, at, or soon after birth
Interferes with normal brain development.
It is caused by damage to areas of the brain that control and coordinate muscle tone, reflexes, posture, and movement.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness (CRF)Base on principles of ACSM guidelines, alter per
client.Modifications
Functional mobility abilities Number Type
Short bouts of exercise at an RPE of 12-13Include recovery period because this population
fatigues easilyStationary bikes and arm ergometers are
recommendedCan change the power output depending on client
Resistance Training (RT)Target weak muscles that oppose to stronger
muscle groups. Improves strength of weak muscles to
balance bodyExample: agonist/antagonist relationship
Neuromuscular stimulation Fatigue can throw off what they have been
working well on during exercise.Pair resistance training with stretching and
flexibilityDynamic stretching: full ROM
Contradictions/Special directions Concentrate on positioning of client
Because of weak muscles and hypertonic muscles posture can need correction
Example: Velcro gloves to hold hands in place, try to avoid strapping down because not helping with stabilizing and increasing strength
Difficulty generating sufficient muscle force Possible overuse because prone to obesity
and sedentary behaviors.Fatiguing quicker so split exercise
prescription into two parts, try and combine exercise
PregnancyRyan Hermansen
What is pregnancy Pregnancy is the fertilization and
development of offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus.
Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception occurs.
Exercising during pregnancy minimizes losses, and can decrease the postpartum recovery time.
Effects such as diabetes mellitus, loss of balance, and extreme muscle fatigue/loss are all possible consequences of the pregnancy process.
CRF Prescription› Frequency: 3-4 days per week (frequency has been shown
to be a determinant of birth weight)
› Intensity: ACSM suggests maintaining a HR correspondent to a moderate intensity is recommended for women with a pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) ˂25, along with age and fitness levels taken into account. Light intensity exercise is recommended for women with a pre-pregnancy BMI ≥25. Nothing more than a moderate fatigue level should be achieved, and
a maximal test should never be performed without a physician present.
*Intensity depends on mothers BMI, fitness level, age, weight
› Time: ≥15 minutes per day gradually increasing to a maximum of 30 minutes per day of accumulated moderate intensity exercise to a total of 120/week. 10-15 minute warm up and 10-15 cool down is highly suggested,
resulting in 150 total minutes.
Cont’d…
› Type: Dynamic, rhythmic physical activities that use large muscle groups such as walking and cycling.
› Progression: Optimal time to progress is after the first trimester (13 weeks) because the discomforts and risks of pregnancy are lowest at that time. Progress from a minimum of 15 minutes, 3 days a week to a maximum of 30 minutes, 4 days a week, at the appropriate HR and RPE.
RT Prescription› Frequency: ≥5 days per week› Intensity: 1-2 Sets of 12-15 repetitions or until 12 repetitions
can be achieved. Heart rate does not exceed 140-150 BPM OR 60-70% max HR. An RPE of 12-14 should be maintained.
› Intensity: 1-2 Sets of 12-15 repetitions or until 12 repetitions can be achieved. Heart rate does not exceed 140-150 BPM OR 60-70% max HR. An RPE of 12-14 should be maintained.
› Time: 30 -60 minutes per day. (Workouts greater than 30 minutes have been attributed to heavier baby weights).
› Type: Walking, swimming, stationary cycling (due to the low impact), workouts that generally include the entire body.
› Progression: women should not start exercising once they are pregnant if they were not doing so before. They should stick to a routine their body was accustomed to before pregnancy, but retain the opportunity to build up to daily recommendations.
Benefits of Exercise Development of muscular strength Added flexibility may help
compensate for the progressive biomechanical changes that occur during pregnancy
Condition abdominal muscle against weakness and back pain.
Will contribute to an enhanced ability to minimize exaggerations in posture such as thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis
Contraindications
› Physical activity should be avoided in the supine position. › Relative: severe anemia, unevaluated maternal cardiac
dysrhythmia, chronic bronchitis, poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus, extreme morbid obesity, extreme underweight, history of extremely sedentary lifestyle, intrauterine growth restriction in current pregnancy, poorly controlled hypertension, orthopedic limitations, poorly controlled seizure disorder, poorly controlled hyperthyroidism, heavy smoker
› Absolute: hemodynamically significant heart disease, restrictive lung disease, incompetent cervix/cerclage, multiple gestation at risk for premature labor, persistence second or third trimester bleeding, placenta previa after 26 wk of gestation, premature labor during the current pregnancy, ruptured membranes, preeclampsia/pregnancy-induced hypertension

OSTEOPOROSISBy- Tailor Pili
General Overview
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease that increases your risk of bone fracture due to having low bone mineral density.
There are more than 10 million people in the United States who currently suffer from osteoporosis and that number is continuing to grow.
Categories for exercise prescription
There are 2 categories for designing exercise prescriptions for this population.
Category #1- Patients who are at risk for Osteoporosis : > or = 1 risk factor for osteoporosis. Risk factors are: Current low bone mass, age, and being female.
Category #2- Patients with osteoporosis.
Cardiorespiratory Fitness Guidelines for at risk patients
Frequency: 3-5 days per week of weight bearing activity.
Intensity: - moderate(40%-60% HRR) to vigorous (>60% HRR).
Time: 30-60 minutes per day of aerobic exercise Type: Weight-bearing aerobic activities such as
tennis, stair-climbing, walking with intermittent jogging.
Progression: Based on each individuals level of fitness and disease progression, but generally keeping intensity moderate and working to prevent further progression of the disease.
Cardiorespiratory Guidelines for Osteoporotic patients
Frequency: 3-5 days per week of weight bearing activity.
Intensity: Moderate (40%-60% HRR) Time: 30-60 minutes per day of aerobic exercise Type: Weight-bearing aerobic activities such as
stair-climbing, walking, other activities as tolerated.
Progression: Based on each individuals level of fitness and disease progression, but generally keeping intensity moderate and working to prevent further progression of the disease.
Resistance Training Guidelines for at risk patients
Frequency: 2-3 days per week . Intensity: Moderate (60%-80% 1-RM) 8-12
repetitions or vigorous (80%-90% 1-RM) 5-6 repetitions focusing on large muscle groups.
Time: 30-60 minutes or as long as it takes to complete the number of sets and repetitions.
Type: Focus on large muscle groups using both free weights as well as machine weights.
Progression: Increase load force only if no pain is present, and only after proper form is accomplished for each exercise . Again, you are working to prevent further progression of the disease.
Resistance Training Guidelines for Osteoporotic patients
Frequency: 2-3 days per week. Intensity: Moderate (60%-80% 1-RM) 8-12
repetitions focusing on large muscle groups. Time: 30-60 minutes or as long as it takes to
complete the number of sets and repetitions. Type: Focus on large muscle groups using both
free weights as well as machine weights. Progression: Increase load force only if no pain
is present, and only after proper form is accomplished for each exercise. Again, you are working to prevent further progression of the disease.
Contraindications
There are currently no specific contraindications for individuals at risk, or individuals with osteoporosis.
However, some general guidelines should be followed:
No explosive movement exercises No high-impact loading Exercises that involve twisting of the
spine should generally be avoided

Affect of Exercise on Insulin Receptivity
• Exercising at moderate intensity (40-80%) of VOsR for 40-80 minutes improved expression of GLUT-4 significantly after exercises, and continued 3 hours after exercise.
• Increased GLUT-4 expression lead to increased glucose sensitivity
• Proving that exercise helps to reverse the main causes of type II diabetes
Contraindications
• • Hypoglycemia- rapid drops in blood glucose my occur
with exercise, resulting in headache, visual disturbances, confusion, shakiness, weakness, abnormal sweating, loss of breath, amnesia, seizures, coma
• Dehydration from polyuria my contribute to a compromised thermoregulatory response
• Retinal detachment and hemorrhage• Ketosis• Complications due to nephropathy

MULTIPLE SCLEROSISMatt Brotherton
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
MS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system
Causes a decrease in the amount of myelin surrounding neurons
Exact cause is still unknown and there is no cure Disease is marked by periods of regression and
exacerbation Treatment often involves management of
symptoms Common issues include poor balance, poor
coordination, pain, weakness, poor vision, bowel and/or bladder dysfunction, impaired thermoregulation, and possibly psychological disturbances
CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS RECOMMENDATIONS
Frequency – 3-5 days/week Intensity – 40%-70% VO2reserve or HRR; RPE
11-14 Time – 20-60 mins per session or minimum
10 min bouts Progression – progress according to
individual’s performance and personal goals
Endurance-type activity resulted in improved CRF and even strength gains in some individuals; No contraindications to exercise found (Romberg et al, 2004)
RESISTANCE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
Frequency – 2 days/week Intensity – 60-80% 1 RM Time – 1-2 sets of 8-15 repetitions Progression – as with CRF, progress according
to individual’s progress and personal goals
Resistance training can be highly beneficial to individuals with MS and even elicit reductions in chronic symptoms (Dalgas et al, 2009)
FLEXIBILITY RECOMMENDATIONS
Frequency – 5-7 days/week, 1-2 times/day Intensity – stretch to the point of tightness or
mild discomfort Time – hold static stretch 30-60 seconds, 2-4
reps Progression – progress as needed remaining
mindful of the goals and progress of the individual
CONTRAINDICATIONS TO EXERCISE
Exacerbations of the disease; acute symptom presentation
Uhthoff Phenomenon The key is risk prevention – make the
environment safe and easy to navigate; make restrooms easily accessible and have access to temperature regulation
Pool exercises and cycling may be preferable exercise modes for MS patients
Be aware of possible psychological disturbance that can be secondary to the disease

MULTIPLE SCLEROSISExercise Prescription
By: Aubri Poulsen
WHAT IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS? Autoimmune disease
One's own immune system damages the nerves of the brain and spinal cord.
Buildup of scar tissue Demyelination of the CNS nerves
Disruption of electrical signalsLoss in muscle control, balance, sensation, vision
More common among females
F.Y.I.
Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis. The EDSS quantifies disability in eight Functional Systems (FS) and allows neurologists to assign a Functional System Score (FSS) in each of these.
“The following recommendations are limited to MS patients with an EDSS score of less than 7, because too little is known about the effects of exercise in the more severely impaired group of MS patients.” (Dalgas, Ingemann-Hansen & Stenager, 2007)
CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS RECOMMENDATIONS
The FITT recommendations 3-5 days a week working at 40-70% VO2R or
HRR. RPE of about 11-14. The subject should be begin with a minimum of
ten minutes of exercise before increasing the intensity.
If the subject has excessive fatigue they should start lower on the intensity scale and do discontinuous sessions of exercise.
RESISTANCE TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS
Resistance training “must be performed under supervision from experienced personnel, until the MS patient is comfortable with the training program.” (Dalgas, Ingemann-Hansen & Stenager, 2007) 2 days a week at 60-80% of 1 RM. 1-2 sets of 8-15 repetitions. Higher rest time of 2-5 minutes to allow for
muscle recovery. In order to maximize their ADL’s, the prescription
should include functional activities.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY/EXERCISE CONTRAINDICATIONS “resistance training more rarely than endurance training
will cause unpleasant experiences, because of increases in body temperature.” (Dalgas, Ingemann-Hansen & Stenager, 2007)
Exercises, “affecting core temperature should always be considered and minimized, in order to make exercise as pleasant as possible”. (Dalgas, Ingemann-Hansen & Stenager, 2007)
Don’t perform exercises in extreme heat environments. Don’t exercise above the level of tolerance based on
any acute exacerbation of MS symptoms. During an acute exacerbation of symptoms, avoid
testing. Avoid a large amount of exercises in one bout of
exercise.
