Ch 13 - Resistance Training Concept Flashcards
Alarm Reaction
The alarm reaction is the initial reaction to a stressor
General Adaption Syndrome
A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress
Delayed-onset Muscle Soreness
Pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity
Resistance Development
The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor
Exhaustion
Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system
Periodization
Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages
Principle of specificity or specific adaption to imposed demands (SAID principle)
Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it
Mechanical Specificity
Refers to the weight and movements placed on the body
Neuromuscular Specifity
Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection
Metabolic Specificity
Refers to the energy demand placed on the body
Muscular Endurance
The ability to produce and maintain force production for prolonged periods of time
Muscular Hypertrophy
Enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to overcoming force from high volumes of tension
Strength
The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce internal tension to overcome an external load
Power
Ability of the neuromuscular system to produce the greatest force in the shortest time
Vertical Loading
Alternating body parts trained from set to set, starting from the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity
