Contraindications to Exercise

 

Neeraj Mehta

      Younger (5-12 years)

      Training at too high level of intensity and for long duration [greater than 30 minutes].

     Training in hotter and more humid environments as thermo regulatory mechanisms in the child’s body are not fully developed.

     Sports injuries to the long bones (epiphyseal plates), low back (L4,5), and muscle injuries are problematic in this group.

     Children have a lower tolerance to the demands of exercise.  Strength training routines should reflect teaching of basic lifting techniques and not lifting-heavy weights.  Beginners should be made to understand the basics of exercise, such as heart rate monitoring, proper body alignment, benefits of warm-up, etc.  Perhaps the instructor should devote half of their program experience to education and demonstration.

Clinical Study for Child Growth

Why Clinical Studies are Important

Clinical research in children helps us to treat our children like children, rather than little adults by:

• Finding the best dose of medicines to prevent harmful effects or under-treatment.
• Making chewables, liquids or tablets that are easier for children to take, yet still safe.
• Finding treatments for problems that occur only in children, like prematurity.
• Finding treatments for diseases or conditions that occur in both children and adults but which can act differently in children and adults, like arthritis or heart disease.
• Finding treatments for new or existing diseases to improve the health of children in the future, like vaccine studies that were done years ago help children stay healthier today.
• Understanding how medicines affect children's brains and bodies as they grow and develop.

Stages of Growth

Children are growing. They are changing and maturing all the time. An 8-month-old is completely different from an 8-year-old, who is completely different from an 18-year-old...so even among children, everyone is different. And at each of the stages of growth below, children may need different doses of medicine, different sizes of devices or different types of therapy.

For example, testing of one antibiotic showed that babies needed higher doses than older children to get rid of their infection. Many medicines are filtered out of the body and handled differently by a child's developing liver or kidneys - and because there is limited research, we don't know what the long term effects on these organs may be. So, we need to study them to find out.

Exercise program design for age 9-11 Kids

Exercise program design for age 9-11 Kids:

NEERAJ MEHTA

Design a program to increase physical skills. Combine movement sequence,

Stress cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength and endurance, flexibility, agility and balance.

Include cooperative games, which enhance social skills and group play (sportsmanship).

Introduce fun, low-Impact aerobic dance.  Instructors may also choose to introduce kid’s step and slide aerobic programs.

Intensity and Hot Weather Precaution

Intensity and Hot Weather Precaution when incorporating an exercise plan for kids:

Neeraj Mehta working out with Kids

Keep in mind the physiological factors influencing children exercising during hot weather.  Monitor temperature and humidity and adjust activities.

Children have:

a.  Higher surface area/mass ratio.
b.  Greater amount of heat transfer between the body and the environment.
c.  Greater metabolic heat production than adults performing the same activity.
d.  Less sweating capacity than adults.
e.  Decreased ability to rid the body of heat due to lower cardiac output.

Training Principles for Children's

NEERAJ MEHTA

Endurance Training Principles and Guidelines for Children's

         The following recommendations should be modified according to the individual needs of the child.  Because children are not able to give legal consent, parents must sign permission or consent from before children are allowed to participate in classes.

       Frequency

         Youth aerobic activities should be performed 2-3 times per week to create a training effect.  However, as will all forms of cardio-respiratory conditioning, the response in children varies.

       Duration

         Attention span and physical capacity of children vary depending on age and developmental stage.  It is important for instructors to establish the amount of time appropriate for the chronological age and developmental level of the participants.  For youth, duration of activity may be more beneficial than intensity, due to varied developmental stages of maturation.  A longer, less intense program allows for greater attention span with less physiological stress and provides positive health and social benefits.

       Intensity

Any activity should represent the normal bell curve of heart rates.  Intensity varies depending on activity.  Adult standards may be used to monitor exercise intensity, but is more appropriate to calculate 200 bpm minus age vs.220 bpm minus age for estimated heart rate.  The RPE scale should also be modified for youth fitness programs so it is easier to understand.

       For an aerobics class, exercise selection, elevated movement, movement patterns and sequencing, speed and lever length are important in regulating the exercise intensity.

       Aerobic activities can range from fun group play, obstacle courses, organized recreational sports and games, individual and team sports to dance activities and step and slide for kids.  Activities will vary on the age and skill level of the children.
