Chapter 13 Resistance Training Concepts Flashcards
Alarm reaction
The initial reaction to a stressor
General Adaptation
A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress
Delayed-onset muscle soreness
Pain or discomfort often felt 24-72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity
Resistance Developement
The body increases it’s 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
Divisions of a training program into smaller, progressive stages
Principles of specificity or specific adaptation to imposed demands
(SAID)
Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it
Mechanical specificity
The weight and movement placed on the body
Neuromuscular specificity
The speed of contraction and exercise selection
Metabolic specificity
The energy demand placed on the body
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 with the upper extremity and moving to the lower extremity
Horizontal loading
Performing all sets of an exercise or body part before moving on to the next exercise or body part
Autogenic inhibition
Prolonged Golgi tendon organ stimulation which provided an inhibitory action to muscle spindles within the same muscles
