IS THE EXERCISE...
- Weight bearing appropriate? (NWB/PWB/FWB)
- With or against gravity? (e.g. gravity counter balanced or additional resistance - Oxford Scale)
- Functional?
- OVERLOAD (is the target muscle or muscle group being stressed enough to elicit an adaption?)
- SPECIFICITY (SAID - Specific Adaptions to Imposed Demands)
- Single plane or multi-plane? (is the muscle being loaded in all 3 planes?)
- Open or closed chain?
- Ranges? (through full ROM? Inner/Mid/Outer - appropriate to rehab level?)
- Isometric/eccentric/concentric (appropriate to stage of injury?)
- Motivational?
- Fun?
- Fibre recruitment (is it recruiting the fibres required for their function e.g. Type I, Type IIa/IIb slow and fast twitch)
- Intensity (high/med/low?)
- Reps & Sets? (endurance,hypertrophy,strength) avoid atrophy
- Isolated or intergrated? (compound/mutli-joint exercise or isolated muscle?)
