ch10 principles of training Flashcards
what is muscular strength
maximal strength a muscle or muscle group can generate
how is muscular strength tested
1 repition maximum, the maximal weight that can be lifted with a single effort
add weight until only one repetition can be performed
what is muscular power
rate of performing work
explosive aspect of strength
strength x velocity
what is more important for most activities, muscular strength or muscular power
muscular power
how is muscular power usually measured
electronic devices
what is muscular endurance
muscles capacity to perform repeated muscle contraction or to sustain a contraction over time
number of repetitions at given percent 1 rep maximum
how is muscular endurance increased
gains in muscular strength and in local metabolic and cardiovascular function
types of muscular endurance
absolute or relative
225 bench amrap (NFL combine) vs 75% 1rm for reps
what is aerobic power
rate of energy release by oxygen dependent metabolic processes
what does maximal aerobic power mean physiolocially
maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of ATP
synonymous terms for aerobic power
aerobic capacity
maximal O2 uptake
VO2 max
what is the primary limiter for aerobic power
cardiovascular system
anaerobic power
rate of energy release by independent metabolic processes
what is anaerobic power in terms of metabolic processing
maximal capacity of anaerobic systems to produce ATP
ways to measure anaerobic power
maximal accumulated O@ deficit test
critical power test
wingate test
