Neal MalikHOST
Just as today's author Jill said, your body will start to get comfortable and as a result, you'll stop making progress.
Neal MalikHOST
The American College of Sports Medicine does have some general guidelines when it comes to safely adding weight to some standard weight training exercises.
Neal MalikHOST
If you're performing a movement where you're using mostly the muscles in your upper body, for example, like your arms, shoulders, or chest, and you want to increase the amount of weight you're lifting, they say add no more than five pounds total at a time.
Neal MalikHOST
Adding too much weight to upper body movements can lead to injury.
Susan RyanHOST
So talk about the benefits of rock climbing from your perspective as a neurologist.
Doug RedoshGUEST
So the American Academy of Sports Medicine and the National Physical Therapy Group came out recently with guidelines for exercise in Parkinson's.
Doug RedoshGUEST
And they identified four basic areas where people should be exercising.
Doug RedoshGUEST
And one was aerobic capacity.
Scott HickleHOST
What happens when you drink so much water that your blood sodium plummets, your cells start to swell, and your brain literally runs out of space inside your skull? She is an exercise physiologist and one of the world's leading experts on hydration science.
Scott HickleHOST
A fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine, she has published more than 100 scientific papers.
Scott HickleHOST
Her message runs against everything the beverage industry has ever told you.
Scott HickleHOST
This was an amazingly fun and animated conversation.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
So the BET study was 70% VO2 max running, 45 minutes a day.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
And the other one was simply meeting the ACSM guidelines for 150 minutes per week.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
So the group that met that had these sort of benefits that, or they didn't have the negatives come from the three days of sleep deprivation at 30%.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
So it was aerobic.
18 MINS LATER
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
We do ramp them up because we want to make sure they're not so sore that they don't come back.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
So we do ramp them into the protocol.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
As terms of training and frequency, I think Stu's big review now was ACSM guidelines.
Mike OrmsbeeGUEST
I think Abby was on that as well.
James FisherHOST
And then you add to which they were using probably a better tool in the resistance machine rather than a band.
James FisherHOST
I know we've previously talked about the American College of Sports Medicine resistance training recommendations where the synopsis of that paper was that resistance training works.
James FisherHOST
But one of the things that we talked about in that episode was that actually a lot of the studies are done under supervision.
James FisherHOST
So supervision is a big part of why resistance training works the way it does in the scientific studies that we discuss.
Megan GrahamHOST
We'll see what I find.
Megan GrahamHOST
But our hope is like, we're going to have two abstracts at ACSM about one, like the comparison and peak hamstring torque.
Jason TuoriHOST
Yeah.
Megan GrahamHOST
and the reliability differences between the two.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
I also read an article called Functional Fitness, Keeping the Life in Longevity by Kathleen Kronemer for the National Federation of Personal Trainers.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
And lastly, I also definitely pulled from an article called A Sedentary Lifestyle's Link to Functional Decline, but Any Movement Can Help, written by Keith Diaz for the ACSM.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
So let's jump into it.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
When we think about fitness, there is this massive divide between training for how you look versus training for how you move.
22 MINS LATER
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
As we age, we have a natural functional decline where we lose power, which is power is just essentially our ability to move quickly.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
And we lose power twice as fast as we lose raw strength.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
But there's incredible research from the ACSM showing that regular exercise can act as a, quote unquote, shield of sorts.
Kailey Vieweg RodriguezHOST
So the ACSM American College on Sport Medicine analyzed data from over 5,000 adults and found that for people who are highly sedentary during the day, which, if we're being honest, that is most of us these days sitting at desks.
James FisherHOST
Yeah.
James FisherHOST
I know we've previously talked about the American College of Sports Medicine resistance training recommendations where the synopsis of that paper was that resistance training works.
James FisherHOST
But one of the things that we talked about in that episode was that actually a lot of the studies are done under supervision.
James FisherHOST
So supervision is a big part of why resistance training works the way it does in the scientific studies that we discuss.
Altamash RajaHOST
So we have to look at a bunch of other things.
Altamash RajaHOST
And I think we had talked about maybe in the strength series of the ACSM 90 to 119 minutes, but really for healthy adults.
Altamash RajaHOST
the biggest balance gains come earlier on.
Altamash RajaHOST
I think for most folks they do, but within three months of training, three sessions a week, roughly 90 minutes to two hours a week.
Eddie PattonHOST
And Heidi is a sports nutritionist, exercise physiologist.
Eddie PattonHOST
She holds a master's degree and is a certified dietitian nutritionist and is a fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine.
Eddie PattonHOST
She's a sports nutritionist for the Juilliard School.
Eddie PattonHOST
Is that right? Yes.
