Chapter 1 Flashcards
List the levels of training in the OPT Model
Stabilization, Strength and Power
What are the 5 phases of the OPT model
Stabilization endurance, strength endurance, hypertrophy, max strength, power
Which Phase: Improves muscular endurance Enhances joint stability Increases flexibility Enhances posture control Improves neuromuscular efficiency Improves intramuscular coordination
Stabilization: Phase 1
Which Phase: Improves stabilization endurance and increases prime mover strength Improves over all work capacity Enhances joint stabilization Increases LBM
Strength Endurance Phase 2
Which Phase:
Achieves optimal levels of muscular hypertrophy; increases muscle size
Hypertrophy: Phase 3
Which phase:
Increase motor unit recruitment
increases freq of motor recruitment
Improves peak force
Max strength Phase 4
Which phase:
Enhances neuromuscular efficiency and prime mover strength
increase rate of force production
Power Phase 5
This phase has low load and high reps. Often done in a circuit fashion
Stabilization Phase 1
This phase has moderate loads and moderate reps. 8-12 reps. Superset traditional strength with a stabilization exercise
Strength Endurance: Phase 2
This phase has high volume and moderate to high loads. Moderate to low reps. 6-12 reps
Hypertrophy: Phase 3
This phase has high loads , low reps, longer rest periods. 1-5 reps
Max Strength Phase: Stage 4
This phase supersets a strength exercise with a power exercise. 1-5 reps
Power Phase
Two phases that recommend superset technique
Phase 2 and phase 5
Alteration of a muscle surrounding a joint
Muscle imbalance
