Chapter 10&13 Flashcards
What is strength?
the maximal force a muscle group can generat
what is the functional measurement of strength?
1 rep max test
what is power?
the rate of performing work
what is the equation for power?
power=force*distance/time
The greater the _____ the greater ____
the greater the speed the greater the power
what is muscular endurance?
the capacity to sustain repeated muscle actions or a single static contraction
What is maximal aerobic power?
the maximal capacity for resynthesis of ATP utilizing oxygen. (VO2 max testing)
What are the 6 General principles of training?
Individuality, specificity, reversibility, progressive overload, hard/easy, periodization
what is maximal anaerobic power?
the maximal capacity of the anaerobic systems to produce ATP. No universal test, only estimated
what is the SAID principle?
specific
adaptions
imposed
demand
individuality
consider the specific needs and abilities of the individual for whom it is designed
specificity
adaptions to training are highly specific to the nature of the training activity and should be carefully matched to an athlete’s specific performance needs
reversibility
‘Use it or lose it” training programs must include a maintenance plan to ensure that the gains from training are not lost
progressive overload
the training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus; foundation of all training
hard/easy
programs must alternate high-intensity workouts w/ low-intensity workouts to help the body recover and achieve optimal training adaptions
