ADAPTATIONS Flashcards
3 factors of muscular fitness that can be altered due to resistance training
-muscular strength
-muscular endurance
-muscular power
muscular strength, muscular endurance, + muscular power
why do we see a correlation between these?
all have anaerobic energy system
what energy system does muscular endurance use
glycolysis
what energy system does muscular strength use
creatine phosphate
what energy system does muscular power use
creatine phosphate
for someone to have really good values for muscular strength, endurance, + power, which type of fibers would they have
type II
muscular strength
amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximal effort
muscular strength is which component of fitness
health-related
muscular endurance
the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly exert force against resistance
muscular endurance is which component of fitness
health-related
muscular power
the ability to generate as much force as possible, as quickly as possible
muscular power is which component of fitness
skill-related
factors that influence adaptation
-specificity
-sex
-age
-genetics
-overtraining
-detraining
what is the main determinant of hypertrophy
80% due to genetic variation
neural goals
-strength
-power
metabolic goals
-hypertrophy
-endurance
neural or metabolic adaptation occurs quicker?
neural adaptation
which goal do we accomplish first- neural or metabolic
metabolic
-if we did neural training in general prep it would stunt the athletes ceiling
-must first gain muscle to maximize their ceiling, THEN increase power + force ability
neural adaptations
-motor unit recruitment increases
-rate coding increases
-improvements at the synapse (improved release of ACh, improved release of ACh esterase to reuptake, etc.)
-decreased coactivation ratio
-decreased GTO activation (not on slides but in quiz because debated)
neural adaptations
rate coding
the rate at which neural impulses are sent to a muscle’s motor units
