3.1 Resistance Training Flashcards
What is the force generated by a muscle of muscle group to overcome resistance during a single maximum effort?
Strength
What is the work (force x distance) produced by a muscle per unit of time (force x distance/time), the rate of performing work
Power
What is the ability to perform repetitive or sustained activities over a prolonged period of time
Endurance
What is it called when the resistance load exceeds the metabolic capacity of the muscle resulting in improved muscle performance
Overload Principle
What is the concept that to improve a specific muscle performance element, the resistance program should match the constructs of that element
Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID) Principle
What is it called when adaptive changes in the body’s systems in response to a resistance exercise are transient unless training-induced improvements are utilized
Reversibility Principle
What is this age related change in muscle performance called?
- bone mineral density is highly correlated with muscle strength and the level of physical activity across the lifespan
- physical activities and exercise performed in weight-bearing positions are recommend to minimize or prevent age-related bone loss and to reduce the risk of fractures or improve bone density
Osteopenia, Osteoporosis
What is it called when there is an increase in size of an indvidiual muscle fiber after 4 to 8 weeks
Hypertrophy
What is it called when proposed theories describe an increased number of muscle fibers; not well-supported in the literature
Hyperplasia
What is it called when there is transformation of Type IIX to Type IIA is common with endurance training
Muscle Fiber Type Adaptation
What is it called when the initial, rapid gain in the tension-generating capacity of skeletal muscle from a resistance training program is attributed largely to neural responses, not adaptive changes in muscle itself
Neural Adaptations
What is it called when there is a heavy resistance training have fewer capillaries per muscle fiber than endurance athletes
Vascular Adaptations
What is it called when tensile strength increases occur from resistance training; stronger ligaments and tendons may be less pone to injury
Connective tissue (tendon, ligament, muscle)
What is it called when bone mineral density is highly correlated with muscle strength and level of physical activity across the lifespan
Bone
What is the variation of intensity and volume during specific periods of resistance training
periodization
