Q

How can Athletes stimulate bone formation?

4 methods

A

1) Use exercises that directly load particular regions of the skeleton.
2) Use structural exs’ to direct force vectors through the spine and hip and allow the use of greater absolute loads in training.
3) Overload the musculoskeletal sys, an progressively increase the load as the tissues become accustomed to the stimulus.
4) Vary exs selection to change the distribution of the force vectors to continually present a unique stimulus

How can athletes stimulate connective tissue adaptations?
2 methods

A

Exercise of low to moderate intensity does not markedly change the collagen content of connective tissue.

High-intensity loading results in a net growth of the involved connective tissues

35
Q

Cartilage Adaptations to Anaerobic training

Cartilage lacks what ? Why is Jt mobility vital?

A

its own blood supply and must depend on diffusion of O2 and nutrients from synovial fluid; therefore, joint mobility is linked with joint health

36
Q

Cartilage Adaptations to Anaerobic training

Movement about a joint creates changes in what where that drives what toward what?

A

Movement about a joint creates changes in pressure in the joint capsule that drive nutrients from the synovial fluid toward the articular cartilage of the joint

37
Q

Cartilage Adaptations to Anaerobic training; how can athletes stimulate cartilage adapts?
3 ways

A

Weight-bearing forces and complete movement throughout the ROM seem to be essential to maintaining tissue viability.

Moderate aerobic exercise seems adequate for increasing cartilage thickness.

Strenuous exs doesnt appear to cause degnerative joint disease

Chronic Changes in the Acute Hormonal Response
Chronic Changes in Resting Hormonal [ ]s
Hormone Receptor Changes
Acute CV responses to anaerobic exs

39
Q

What hormonal response to anaerobic exs is critical for exs performance and subsequent training adaptations?
Why is that important?

A

acute anabolic hormonal response since it upregs anabolic hormone receptors that are vital in mediating the hormonal effects.

40
Q

acute

A

immediately after

41
Q

chronic

A

continuously occurring after

42
Q

What is Chronic Changes in the Acute Hormonal Response?

A

consistent resistant training may improve the acute hormonal response to anaerobic workout

43
Q

Chronic Changes in Resting Hormonal [ ]s is what?

A

consistent chronic changes in resting hormonal concentrations [ ]s are less likely

44
Q

Hormone Receptor Changes is what

A

Resistance training has been shown to upreg androgen receptor content within 48-72 hrs after the workout

45
Q

Acute CV responses to anaerobic exs is what?

A

acute bout of anaerobic exs significantly increases the CV responses, especially if the the person uses the Valsalva maneuver

46
Q

Acute anaerobic exs results in what ?

A

increased cardiac output, SV, HR; systolic BP, and blood flow to active muscles**.

47
Q

Blood flow to muscle after acute anaerobic exs is not 100% true because:

A

When muscles are under tension, ischemia occurs cuz blood is being squeezed out like ringing out a towel.

But, immediately following end of exs, reactive hyperemia, which is: supermax blood flow since they starved the blood.

67
Q

Overtraining is defined as what? what is the result due to ???

A

excessive frequency, volume, or intesity of training that results in extreme fatigue, illness, or injury ( which is often due to a lack of sufficient rest, recovery, and perhaps nutrient intake).

68
Q

Overreaching (different from overtraining)

A

excessive training on a short-term basis

69
Q

What Are the Markers of Anaerobic Overtraining?

3

A

1) Psychological effects: decreased desire to train, decreased joy from training.
2) Acute E and NE increases beyond normal exercise-induced (sympathetic overtraining syndrome)
3) Performance decrements, although these occur too late to be a good predictor

70
Q

What mistakes can lead to anaerobic overtraining ?

A

Chronic use of high intensity or high volume or a combo of the those two.
