Types of Resistance Exercise

By Carolyn Kisner PT, MS and Lynn Allen Colby PT, MS on April 23rd 2008

The types of exercise selected for a resistance training program are contingent on many factors, including the cause and extent of primary and secondary impairments. Deficits in muscle performance, the stage of tissue healing, the condition of joints and their tolerance to compression and movement, the general abilities (physical and cognitive) of the patient, the […]

SAID Principle - Specific Adaptation To Imposed Demands

By Carolyn Kisner PT, MS and Lynn Allen Colby PT, MS on April 20th 2008

The SAID principle (specific adaptation to imposed demands) suggests that a framework of specificity is a necessary foundation on which exercise programs should be built. This principle applies to all body systems and is an extension of Wolff’s law (body systems adapt over time to the stresses placed on them). The SAID principle helps therapists […]
