MOTIVATION & EXERCISE GET FIT SERIES David S. Edwards, M.D. Department of Family Medicine & Sports Medicine Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock Objectives Discuss the effects of exercise on the human body and its major organ systems. Review common injuries and principles of treatment. Identify “red flags” that may lead to injury or permanent disability. Create an exercise program that is fun! You are wonderfully made! (images: www.wikiality.com , www.newsin3D.com ) “What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!” William Shakespeare Top Ten New Year’s Resolutions (about.com, Powell & Powell) 1. spend more time with family & friends 2. get in shape 3. lose weight 4. stop smoking 5. enjoy life more 6. quit drinking alcohol 7. get out of debt 8. learn something new 9. help others 10. get organized Why exercise? Improved bone density Lowering of blood pressure Improving cholesterol, LDL, and HDL Enhanced self-image Improve balance and coordination Decrease anxiety and depression Promote restful sleep Reasons Boys Play Sports To have fun To improve skills Excitement of competition Self-identity tied to athletic ability Reasons Girls Play Sports To have fun To exercise To get in shape Anatomic changes during adolescence can be frustrating for athletes. Ballet, dance Gymnastics Figure skating Exercise is not easy! Societal developments over the past 20 years: Sedentary lifestyle High fat diet High refined carbohydrate diet Image: www.stayviolation.typepad.com The Obesity Epidemic •Source: CDC Sequelae of obesity High blood pressure Impaired glucose tolerance Diabetes mellitus II Elevated cholesterol, atherosclerosis Osteoarthritis of hips and knees Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) Airway obstruction , sleep apnea Certain cancers Not everyone can jump into exercise. Certain groups require preliminary cardiac stress testing. Low risk: male<45, female <55, 1 risk factor. Moderate risk: male>45, female >55, 2 risk factors. High risk: signs and symptoms Coronary artery disease risk factors (image: www.topnews.in ) Family history (male<55, female<65) Cigarette smoking Hypertension Elevated cholesterol DM II, impaired fasting glucose Obesity Sedentary lifestyle Signs/Symptoms of coronary artery disease Dull pain: neck, chest, jaw, left arm “indigestion” Shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion Dizziness, syncope Orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Ankle edema Palpitations Claudication Heart murmur Recent fatigue with usual activities The Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study – Sui X., et al Prospective cohort of over 2600 adults > 60 from 1979-2001 Fitness measured by treadmill exercise testing periodically Fit people had a lower mortality regardless of abdominal obesity or % body fat! Fit people who were obese had lower mortality than non-fit people with normal weight! Principles of Acute Soft Tissue Injury Protection Rest / relative rest Icing Compression Elevation Mobility Injury Treatment - Ice Useful for acute injury Decreases swelling and pain Chronic injury – only after activity Ice massage with elevation < 20 minutes, wait at least 45 minutes before re-application Injury Treatment - heat Relaxes and loosens soft tissues Stimulates blood flow Useful for chronic injury / overuse before activity Contraindictions: acute injury, after activity, altered mentation or mobility Heating pad or hot damp towel Side Effects of NSAIDs Images: www.medicalook.com & www.gamewood.net Overuse Injuries Can Progress Rapidly Type I – pain after activity Type II – pain during activity, does not limit activity Type III – pain during activity, limits performance Type IV – pain at rest Prevention (Image: www.ushistory.org ) “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” “Exercise is medicine!” ACSM Sites of Stress Fracture Images www.eorthopod.com , www.fairview.org Risk Factors for Stress Fracture Female gender, short stature Overuse, repetitive activity Recent changes in training program or running surface Mileage > 20 miles per week Underlying disease: Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, alcoholism, kidney failure Image www.coloradorunnermag.com Prevention of Stress Fracture Adequate nutrition and calcium intake Proper foot wear Softer training surface Proper training Gradual buildup in mileage Rest Cross-training Flexibility: Maximize performance and protect your joints Connective tissue – tendon, ligament, joint capsule, fasciae in and around muscle Stretch – increase connective tissue length through range of motion Elastic Plastic Temperature-dependent Jog prior to stretching Flexibility Slow movements Stretch reflex: rapid stretching causes protective muscle contraction Reach maximum ROM Beware of excess Decreased stability: joint sprain Decreased flexibility: muscle strain Easily lost Greatest in the first two weeks of injury Improving Flexibility Pre-season & in-season : start early Daily Static stretching – safest Stretch large muscle groups first, then smaller groups After warm-up and after practice Flexibility - precautions Avoid ballistic stretching Avoid stretching as a warm-up activity. •Images: www.hsc.csu.edu, www.otda.state.ny.us, www.yoga-made-ez.com. Preventing Injury Good posture, “sit tall” Strength and flexibility Maintain a healthy weight. Correct imbalances in muscle strength Stretch daily after a warm up and as a cool down Must rehab old injuries Appropriate equipment / footwear Prevention of heat illness Pre-hydrate before planned exercise. Check the weather report. Light clothing, mesh, loose-fitting, change when soaked Adjust schedules, increased # breaks Adequate sleep Avoid oil or gel-based sunscreens that can hinder evaporation Prevention of Heat Illness Monitor body weight. Nude weight before and after workout Loss of > 2% of body weight affects performance, > 3% weight loss affects thermoregulation Monitor urine color. For every 1 lb drop, must drink 1 pint (about 500 ml) “Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition – such as lifting weights- we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.” -Stephen R. Covey Resistance Exercise (image: www.medical-look.com ) Used in combination with aerobic exercise Tone muscle Increases resting metabolic rate Reduced blood pressure: affects cardiac morbidity, stroke risk, overall mortality Total fat reduction Elderly: increased endurance, walking speed, balance, reduces falls Benefits of Exercise Feel better Improved energy, decrease stress & anxiety, improved mood and endurance Improve appearance Weight control, tone muscles, improve posture Decrease risk of disease Reduce blood pressure and cholesterol Improve bone mass and strength Healthy Weight Loss Dietary changes: Reduce fat in the diet Reduce # meals eaten out Set an eating schedule Low calorie snacks Decrease use of soft drinks Eat breakfast 2007 Physical Activity Recommendations: ACSM & AHA Healthy adults < 65 years old Moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise for 30 mins/day, 5 days a week OR: Vigorous intensity cardiovascular exercise 20 mins/day, 3 days a week AND: strength training 8 to 10 exercises with 8-12 repetitions of each exercise. Twice a week on non-consecutive days 2007 Physical Activity Recommendations: ACSM & AHA Healthy adults > 65 yo, chronic illness or functional limitation in adults 50-64 yo Moderate intensity exercise 30 mins, 5x/wk OR: Vigorous intensity exercise 20 mins, 3x/wk AND: Weight training: use weight to allow 10-15 repetitions Flexibility exercises – 10 mins daily, 2x/wk Balance exercises Have a physical activity plan. Don’t Quit “Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it.” Plato “Don’t let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” Coach John Wooden Bring a Friend (image: www.i.co.telegraph.uk , www.w2fitness.com ) Motivation Support More walk, less talk! Accountability A.L.S.A. – 10 year study, age 70 and older, close friendships promote longevity Track your progress! (image: http://us.123rf.com ) What are your goals? Immediate Short term Long term “A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.” – Lao-Tzu Journal / Training log Monitor growth and development Quiz All of the following are ways to reduce risk of injury except: A. maintaining a healthy weight B. stretching consistently C. icing old injury before exercise and applying heat after exercise D. weightlifting in a structured setting Quiz Your 55 yo neighbor asks you about starting an exercise program. She weighs 220 pounds and is diabetic. Your best response is: A. B. C. D. E. Please join me for my daily exercise. Maybe you should see your doctor first. Maybe you should join a local gym. Maybe you should lose weight first. Can you watch the kids this weekend?
