Q

11.1 - Specificity, intensity, and type of training

Intensity

A

The exertion level or how hard the training is being performed. It is commonly measures as %MHR which is determined by bpm
* most important in terms of fitness gains
* ATP-Cp = 95-100%MHR
* Anaerobic glycolysis = 85-95%MHR
* Aerobic = 70-85%MHR
* intensity will determine the type of adaptation

Q

11.1 - Specificity, intensity, and type of training

Intensity

Ways of measuring

A
  • %MHR
  • RPE
  • %VO2Max
  • % oh HR reserve (HRR)
  • metabolic equivalents (METs)
  • blood lactate levels (mM)
    HRR: the difference between RHR and MHR
    METs: a system for classifying exercise intensity. 1 MET = resting levels
  • METs doesnt consider individual fitness levels - limitation
  • intensity of resistance training is determined by the load according to a %RM
    RM: the max amount of weight that a person can lift in one muscular contraction

Q

11.3 - Progression, overtraining and variety

Progressive overload

A
  • the systematic application of overload to acheive required adaptations
  • no improvements w/o it
  • new levels must exceed existing ones
  • controlled by FITT principle
  • increase 1 variable by 2-10%
  • relies on 4 factors:
    • existing workload is appropraite to individual fitness level
    • amount of overload is suffiecient to cause adaptation & improvement w/o causing them to feel unable to complete it
    • mainitains w/in the original aims

Q

11.5 - Continuous and interval training

Interval training - HIIT workout

A
  • involves repeated work intervals w/ sessions relatively brief in duration @ a high intensity close to VO2Max followed by varied recovery times
  • atheltes w/ a high aerobic capacity will have further improvements
  • easily modified to all fitness levels
  • similar benefits to continuous training but in shorter periods
  • burns ore calories - especially post workout
    • EPOC lasts for about 2hrs after as the body restores itself to pre-exercise levels, using more energy
    • Due to vigorous nature, EPOC is modestly greater - adds 6-15% more calories to overall workout energy expenditure

Q

11.5 - Continuous and interval training

Interval training - HIIT workout

Developing a HIIT workout

A
  • Consider duration, intensity & frequency of intervals & length of recovery intervals
  • Intensity should range ≥ 80% of MHR
  • Intensity of recovery should be 40-50& of MHR
  • Relationship of work to recovery is important
    ○ Should be a 1:1 ratio - often range about 3-5 min work followed by equal rest time
  • Another popular HIIT protocol is called the ‘spring interval training method’
    ○ Involves 30sec of full-out effort followed by 4-4.5min recovery
    ○ Repeated 3-5 times
    ○ Higher intensity work efforts are typically shorter bouts (30sec with sprint interval training)
28
Q

11.5 - Continuous and interval training

Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training

A

Aims to build muscular strength, muscle power or local muscular endurance by exercising muscules/muscle groups against a resistance
* different types:
- isoinertial (free weights)
- isometric (fixed resistance)
- isokinetic (varied resistance provided by a machine)
- eccentric overload (flywheel & versapulley)
- core strength (pilates & swissball)

31
Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training

Isoinertial training

A

Isoinertial contraction: a type of dynamic muscular contrction where the resistance against the muscle remains constant
* traditional form
* uses free weights
* dynamic
* lifting a set weight through joints ROM
* max weight that can be used is what can be lifted @ weakest point of ROM (start/finish) - limitation
- muscle isn’t trained @ appropraite resistance @ mid-section of lfe (115º)
* 2 phases completed independently of each other:
- concentric phase: muscle contracts against the force of gravity
- eccentric phase: usclr lengthens under tension with the force of gravity

32
Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training

Isometric training

A

Isometric contraction: when the muscle length remains the sme as it contracts under tension
* e.g. holding a handstand
* increases strength in a static position - minimal use in dynamic activites

33
Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training

Isokinetc training

A
  • undertaken on machines that can adjust the load as the body part moves through ROM
  • e.g cybex, biodex
  • called accommodating resistance
  • improvements only occur at or below velocity at which resistance allows joint to move
34
Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training

Eccentric overload training

A

Eccentric contraction: when a muscle lengthens as it contracts
* form of dynamic resistance training emphasising eccentric phase of contraction
* maximises gains in muscular strength & size
* technology allows for isoinertial eccentric contraction overload as they work on the basis of inertia opposing the force exerted by the muscle
* muscles are stronger in eccentric phase - underloaded in standard resistance training by the concentric phase

35
Q

11.6 - Resistance training

Resistance training - Core strength training

A
  • aim is to effectivrly use the trunk musculature & to control the position of lower back in sport
  • major ab & hip muscles are central in active support - stabilises spine & resists all forces acting on it
  • reduces injury risk & improves performance
  • important when fatigue stes in & form needs to be maintained for skill execution
  • exercises should tagert abs, glutes & lumbar extensors
    • e.g. planks, bridge, superman
  • common training sessions:
    • e.g. pilates, yoga

Training principles
Specificity
Overload
Frequency
Duration
Exercise
Aim

A

Specificity: in relation to the relevant muscle geoups is the first consideration
Overload: applied through the variables outlined. No set rules other than it being gradual
Frequency: 1-3 times per week, depending on other methods used, recovery strategies & levels of desired performance
Duration: minimum of 6 weeks
Exercise: ordered in a way that avoids the same muscles being used twice in a row
Aim: does the program develop muscular strength, power or endurance - only one can be developed at a time
- should be developed: endurance –> hypertrophy –> strength –> power
- high weights, low reps = strength
- vice versa for endurance

  • static (passive)
  • slow active
  • proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)
  • dynamic
  • ballistic
  • myofasical release
47
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

Static (or passive) stretching

A

Involves holding the end point of a stretch for up to 30sec
* safest & easiest
* involves a total body warm-up, then gradually stretching the muscle groups across the full ROM and holding
* most effective method in a cool-down

48
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

Slow active stretching

A

Slowly moving the joints throught the ROM through relaxing agonist muscle & repeating
* common in aerobic classes
* low risk - controlled by external forces

49
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

PNF stretching

A

involves the use of isonmetric contractions before the stretch in attimpt to reach max muscle relaxation
* if muscle is moved firstly to isometrically contact against immovable resistance it develops a greater ability to stretch through ROM

50
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

PNF stretching process

A
  1. thoroughly warm-up
  2. move into strecth position so stretch is felt
  3. partner holds limb in this position
  4. push against partner by isometrically contracting antogonistic muscles for 6-10secs before relaxing. during contraction partner resists any movement
  5. partner than moves limb further into stretch until athlete feels sensation % holds for 10-15sec
  6. reapeat steps 4 & 5, 3-4 times before releasing stretch
51
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

Dynamic stretching

A
  • slow, controlled movemnts through the full ROM
  • most appropriate for activity w/ dynamic movements
  • start movements @ half speed & gradually increase
  • part of warm-up
52
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibillity training

Ballistic stretching

A
  • moving through ROM using momentum rather than the muscular contraction
  • high risk
  • only specifically conditioned athletes
  • uses momentum to force joint beyond its normal ROM
  • muscle cant adjust to & relax in stretch - causes muscle to tighten up by repeatedly activate stretch reflex
    Stretch reflex: attempts to resist the dynamic stretches sudden change in muscle length by calling the stretched muscle to contract
  • prevents suddenly stretched muscle from tearing
53
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Flexibility training

Myofasical release

A

Fasica: a densly woven connective tissue that convers and bonds internal sections of the body
* applies pressure to tight area of the fasica that underlies the muscle
* relieves tension & improves flexibility
* most common method is through a foam roller
* reduces soft tissue tension, relaxing normal muscle length & producing overall muscle function improvement

54
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Plyometrics

A

Involves the use of the stretch-shortening muscle cycle to produce powerful & explosive movements
* musuclar speed & power
* improves force production, velocity & power output
* involves eccentric contraction followed by a concentric contraction - allows for more forceful contraction & more motor units recruited
* common in sports
Potential energy: the capacity of the muscle to do work based upon its position. This happens in the eccentric phase. The greater the stretch, the greater the capacity of the concentric muscle contraction
* during eccentric phase potenital energy is stored in elasticity of muscle & is released at start of concentric phase - 3 stage process

55
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Plyometrics

Potential energy phases

A
  1. eccentric pre-stretch phase: muscles are stretched rapidlym which activates the stretch reflex causing a powerful concentric contraction to prevent oversharing
  2. amortisation phase: the very short phase between the eccentric & concentric contractions
  3. concentric shortening phase: the muscles forcefully contract w/ assistance from the stored potential energy gained
    Stretch reflex: occurs when an impulse is immediately sent to the spinal cord for a muscle to contract when it is stretched to prevent overstretching
56
Q

11.7 - Flexibility and plyometrics

Plyometrics

Risks/concerns

A
  • concerns about safety & appropriateness of excerises due to high muscular power output - has considerable pressures on body and joints
  • should start w/ low-impact activites & build up foundation training
  • not recommended for people w/ poor or average fitness
57
