Aims of today
To discuss the physiological and neurological effects of
detraining

To understand specific exercise prescription in terms of


volume, load, rest, training days per week

End-stage rehab

Returning to previous level of activity or becoming specifically


conditioned for an activity

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Muscle Fibre Types
Three pure fibre types can be identified based on their contractile/metabolic
characteristic.
TYPE I
TYPE IIA
TYPE IIB
Further intermediate hybrid fibres result in continuum ranging from slowest to fastest (Fry
2004).

I IC IIC IIAC IIA IIAB IIB


(SLOWEST) (FASTEST)

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Muscle Fibre Types
COSTILL ET AL (1976)
1. Untrained individuals: 50/50 ratio between slow-
twitch/fast-twitch

2. Long/middle distance runners: 60-70% slow-twitch


3. Sprinters: 80% fast-twitch

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


What happens to injured
individuals?

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


The Exercise Detraining
Effect
2 WEEKS
Decrease in VO2 max (up to 7%; Coyle, 1984)

No reductions in strength

No muscle atrophy

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


The Exercise Detraining
Effect
2-3 WEEKS
Further decrease in VO2 max (9%)
Decrease in capillary density (Blomquist et al
1983)
Muscle atrophy (6.4% in CSA; Bangsbo &
Mizuno, 1987)
58% elevation in HGH (Houston et al 1979)
19.2% elevation in testosterone (Houston et al
1979)
No reduction in strength (uninjured population)

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


The Exercise Detraining
Effect
4-8 WEEKS

Decrease in eccentric strength (Hortobagyi et al


1993)

6% reduction in 1RM (Hakkinen et al 2000)

Fibre type switching: Slow twitch to fast twitch


(5% FTB to 19% FTB after 56 days detraining in
cyclists; Hakkinen et al 2000). Implications to
antigravity/postural muscles.

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


The Exercise Detraining
Effect
8-12 WEEKS
Almost complete loss of increased VO2 max
among those training at lower intensities

7-12% loss in strength (Hakkinen et al,


2001)

Maximal neural innervation activity


reduced (Hakkinen et al, 1985)

Specific exercise prescription to reduce pain

Tendons love Isometrics

Naugle et al (2012): Isometric exercise exerts a generalized pain inhibitory response.

Cook and Purdam (2013): 40-60 second holds, 4-5 times, several times a day. In highly irritable
tendons, a bilateral exercise, shorter holding time and fewer repetitions per day may be indicated.

Training for Strength

How does
White Goodman
do it?

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Conceptual Basis For
Strength Gains
PERIPHERAL FACTORS

The peripheral factors that might affect strength gains include:


Hypertrophy
Hyperplasia
Muscle fibre type shifts

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Conceptual Basis For
Strength Gains
MUSCLE HYPERTROPHY AND
HYPERPLASIA
1. Acute: Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy
(Fluid content)

2. Chronic: Myofibrilar hypertrophy


(increased myofibrils)
3. Hyperplasia: Increase in the number
of muscle fibres

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Conceptual Basis For
Strength Gains
CENTRAL FACTORS

The central factors that might affect strength gains include:

Inter-muscular co-ordination
Motor unit recruitment
Motor unit firing frequency

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Strength-
Intensity

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Strength-
Load and Volume
KEY FOR STRENGTH = HIGH LOAD, HIGH VOLUME
LOAD:
Novice: 60-70% 1RM
Advanced: 80-100% 1RM
VOLUME:
Novice: 1-3 sets, 8-12 repetitions
Advanced: 2-6 sets, 1-8 repetitions

ACSM (2013)

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Strength- Rest
Intervals
ACSM (2013):
2-3 minutes for intense exercises with heavy load
ROBINSON ET AL (1995):
3 minutes more beneficial than 1 minute for improving squat 1RM
WILLARDSON AND BURKETT (2008)
Benefits in strength with 2 minute rest. No further improvement with 4 minute
rest

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Strength-
Frequency

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Strength-
Frequency
ACSM (2013):

Novices: 2-3 times per week working entire body


Advanced: 4-6 workouts a week, still only working each muscle group 2-3 times a week.

Rozier (1981): No difference between training 3 or 5 times a week (trend to improving


more with 3 times)

Farinatti (2013): Compared training muscle groups 1, 2, or 3 times a week.

Result:

Bench press and calf raise 10RM = no difference between groups


Knee extension 10RM = favoured 3 times a week

Training For Muscular
Endurance
THE ABILITY OF A MUSCLE TO EXERT SUBMAXIMAL FORCE REPEATEDLY OVER TIME.

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Muscular
Endurance
LOAD
Less than 70% of 1RM (ACSM 2013)
VOLUME
2-4 Sets
10-25 Repetitions (ACSM 2013)
20-28 Repetitions (CAMPOS 2002)

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Muscular
Endurance
REST PERIODS
ACSM (2013)
30 Seconds to 1 minute between sets
ISSA (2010)
1:1 Ration (Exercise:Rest)
WHY?
Creates high lactate levels in exercising muscles, causing body to improve ability
to buffer accumulating lactate (improves lactate threshold)

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Training For Muscular
Endurance
ADAPTATIONS:
Fibre shifting: decrease in type 2B fibres; increase in type 2AB fibres (Campos
2002)

Hypertrophy (Fisher 2013)


Angiogenesis (Katch 2011)
Arteriogenesis (Yang et al 2008)

Plyometrics
Exercises designed to reach maximal force in shortest time possible
Aims to increase power of subsequent movements by using elastic
properties of muscle and tendon and stretch reflex
When used correctly, plyometric training has consistently been shown to
improve production of muscle force and power (Hewett et al, 1996; Lachance
1995)

Return to Sport Guidelines
Pain free

No effusion

Full (optimal) AROM

Between 90% - 100% strength

Can perform sport specific functional tests

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


In-Line / Off-Line Rehab
Consider the specific
demands of the sport

Most sports (particularly


invasion sports) do not only
work in a frontal plane

Need to return to off-line


movements before the are
match ready

@Physiocouk #manchesterphysio facebook.com/physiocouk


Sherry and Best (2004)
Hamstring rehab protocol:

1 minute side steps


1 minute karaoke
1 minute fast-feet

3 sets, 2 min rest between sets

Resulted in significant reduction in hamstring re-injury rates when


compared to control
