Some disabilities may be more ‘seen’ or evident than others. Back and neck problems, accidents or injury leading to long term disability, arthritis and any other condition affecting the joints, amputation, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, partial or total paralysis, cerebral palsy and head injury. Other conditions such as respiratory and cardiac diseases, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer and AIDS can all have an impact on co-ordination, dexterity, strength, speed and stamina. 1.3 Outline the effects that reduced mobility may have on an individual’s wellbeing Each difficulty will vary greatly from person to person even if they have the same condition/disability. Most effects will include: • Fatigue • Drowsiness • Chronic weakness • Memory difficulties • Difficulties with studying for extended periods of time without
The actions and aids I supply for communication needs should benefit not just the individual, but the group of service users as a whole, and encourage interaction, inclusion, and social contacts. Regular reviews should be performed, to ensure that communication techniques and aids, are still adequate and addressing the individuals communication needs. Different groups who may have communication support needs could include: * A resident may have suffered a stroke, resulting in dysphasia. As a result, they may become frustrated and angry. * A resident may be suffering from confusion, either temporarily because of an acute medical problem, or as a result of dementia.
Why is the warm-up phase of your training program important? Reduces the risk of injury and increases the heart rate for muscles to receive oxygen. 3. Why is the cool-down phase of your training program important? Reduces the risk of injury and promotes flexibility.
Outcome 1 Question 1 Mobility means being able to move or be moved freely. Individuals with disabilities or deformities may have restricted mobility as some parts of their body may not being able to move freely Outcome 1 Question 2 Many health conditions can affect mobility, from physical deformities to neurological conditions (ie Multiple Sclerosis). Somebody that is unable to physically move their arms or legs due an disability (such as juvenile arthritis) will have restricted mobility, where they may not be able to carry out day to day tasks and may need assistance. Multiple Sclerosis can affect a number of functions that would ultimately affect mobility, changes in vision could make it difficult to navigate an space safely and effectively, where muscle weakness would make it more difficult to walk. If an individual has suffered from a stroke they may have restricted mobility in the affected side of their body, they may be unable to stand or to balance and may have difficulty moving their arm/hand to carry out day to day tasks.
2. Why is the warm-up phase of your training program important? The warm-up phase is important because it will reduce the risk of injury. Warm-up activities gradually increase your heart rate which increases blood flow. Warm-up activities also give you time to focus your thoughts and emotions on how you will perform.
1:2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual. Many illnesses affect the way in which people move. Someone who suffers with arthritis or pressure sores etc will affect the way you move and handle them. When moving an individual you must take into account if they have conditions that require special moving techniques. Individuals with Parkinson’s may have limb rigidity which can affect their ability of movement and cause limitations.
Anabolic steroids were produced for physicians to prescribe as a medicine to help heal. Steroids help increase protein within cells, which increases the rate in which your muscles and bones heal after a workout or injury. Their are definitely positive effects of steroids. Someone who is taking steroids will experience increased physical performance in all sports and athletic pursuits and will also appear more physically imposing- these being the main positive effects of steroids and the reason that many athletes and civilians use them. Used in small amounts steroids may also have certain health benefits and can be used to prevent swelling of organs such as the kidneys as well as muscle wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy.
Lastly, exercise increases macrophage production, salivary immunoglobulin A, and increase immune cell circulation improving the function of the immune system. Psychologically, they diminish anxiety and depression, control stress and minimize its negative effects on the body, improve self-esteem, self-concept, and body image, and improve cognition and problem solving. There are two types of fitness, aerobic fitness and muscular fitness, with their own benefits. Aerobic fitness pushes your body and forces it to adapt to adapt to the overload that the exercise is causing when trying to complete continuous tasks. This will later enable you to participate in harder workouts and exercise in the future.
Being active can increase levels of HDL, the good cholesterol. Exercise also gets the blood flowing throughout the body at a faster rate, which also works the heart. When the heart is being exercised, it gets stronger, which can prevent some cardiovascular diseases and risks. Some other health concerns that can be reduced by exercise are stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis and falls (Mayo Clinic). Exercise improves mood.
Question 5: Does HITT (high intensity interval training) exercise produce greater health benefits when compared to traditional exercise? Exercise is one where a person exerts mental and physical strength to produce aerobic activity and is clinically proven to prevent health problems that are associated with numerous long-lasting illnesses and diseases (Gibala et al, 2012). There are two main categories of exercises: High Intensity Interval Training or Traditional exercises which are both discussed in this review. High intensity interval training (HIIT) or high intensity intermittent exercise is a form of physical exercise where a person is performing intermittent bursts of vigorous activity that exceeds anaerobic threshold for a couple of minutes combined with rest periods of inactivity or low intensity exercises (Nybo et al, 2010) such as walking which is repeated several times. This is done because it is said to increase aerobic capacity therefore having more oxygen intake as well as the prevention of hypertension and improving cardiovascular diseases and consequently improving quality of life in patients with heart failure or coronary artery disease (Guiraud et al, 2012, p 599).
