Lesson 3: Exercise Prescription

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the lesson, the students are expected to:

a. designed an individualized exercise program trained at a level to match one’s


needs and abilities
b. established fitness goals and analyzed the attainability of the fitness goals that
was set

Motivation:

1. When was the last time you did exercise?


2. How often do you exercise?
3. What is your alternative activity if you were not able to do your exercise?

Conceptualization:

Exercise prescription typically refers to a detailed plan of fitness exercises that


are tailored for a specific purpose. This plan is usually created by a fitness or
rehabilitation specialist for their client or patient. The objective of exercise prescription is
to effectively combine exercise concepts and behavioral strategies in order to persuade
the client/patient to adhere to the program and achieve their goals, considering their
personal needs and interests.

The utilization of physical activity prescription is not fully maximized as a means


to enhance the overall health of a community. When done in the appropriate amount,
physical activity can effectively prevent, treat, and control various chronic health
disorders that are progressively affecting the overall well-being and physical abilities of
individuals worldwide.
Developing a safe and efficient workout plan necessitates thorough
evaluation of the individual's health condition, initial level of fitness, objectives, and
personal preferences. Various national and international organizations offer doctors
and allied health professionals’ instructions on how to screen, evaluate, and, if
necessary, recommend exercise for the advantage of their patients/clients.

Exercise prescription serves not only to address impairments, activity


limitations, and participation restrictions, but also as a method to enhance the
fitness and well-being of patients and clients.

Pre-exercise Screening

Prior to start a physical activity program, it is advisable to undergo certain


screening procedures to identify any cardiovascular risk factors. Screenings aid in
reducing the likelihood of negative reactions to exercise, as even moderate physical
activity might provoke cardiac incidents in persons who are predominantly inactive.

Considering this, it is advisable to utilize two tools to streamline the danger


assessment procedure for fitness experts. The PAR-Q is the most frequently utilized
questionnaire, with the Fitness Facility Pre-participation Screening Questionnaire
being the second most usually employed.

The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone

The PAR-Q+ is a concise questionnaire consisting of 7 items that use a yes/no


response style to determine individual risk factors. (Health Status Questionnaire and
Health Examination).
Fitness Facility Pre-participation Screening Questionnaire

The Fitness Facility Pre-Participation Screening Questionnaire is longer than the


other questionnaire and gathers more comprehensive information regarding
cardiovascular symptoms.
Screening categorizes potential participants into three risk levels: low, moderate,
and high.

1. Low risk individuals: refer to men below the age of 45 and women below
the age of 55 who have no more than one cardiovascular risk factor.
2. Moderate risk: stratification applies to males aged 45 and above and
females aged 55: and above who have two or more risk factors.
3. Highest risk: Individuals who have known cardiovascular, pulmonary, or
metabolic disease, or who show indications or symptoms of cardiovascular
disease.
Components of exercise prescription
An exercise prescription generally includes the following specific recommendations:

 Type of exercise or activity (e.g., walking, swimming, cycling)

 Specific workloads (e.g., watts, walking speed

 Duration and frequency of the activity or exercise session


 Intensity guidelines – Target heart rate (THR) range and estimated rate of
perceived exertion (RPE)
