Chapter 13 - Resistance Training Concepts Flashcards
A term used to describe how the body responds and adapts to stress.
General Adaptation Syndrome
The initial reaction to a stressor
Alarm Reaction
Three stages of response to stress. (general adaptation syndrom)
Alarm Reaction
Resistance Development
Exhaustion
Improved Cardiovascular efficiency
Beneficial endocrine (hormonal) and serum lipid (cholestorol) adaptations
Decreased body fat
Increased metabolic efficiency (metabolism)
Are all _____________ Adaptive benefits of resistance training.
Physiologic
Increased tissue (muscle, tendons, ligaments) tensile strength
Increased cross-sectional are of muscle fibers
Increased bone density
All __________________ adaptive benefits of resistance training.
Physical
Increased neuromuscular control (coordination)
Increased endurance
increased strength
increased power
Are all ___________ adaptive benefits of resistance training.
Performance
Initial reaction to stressor such as increased oxygen and blood supply to the necessry areas of the body
Alarm reaction
Increased functional capacity to adapt to stressor such as increasing motor unit recruitment.
Resistance development
A prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatique and leads to a breakdown in the system or injury.
Exhaustion
Pain or discomfor often felt 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise or unaccustomed physical activity.
DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)
The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor.
Resistance development
Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion or distress to the system.
Exhaustion
Division of a training program into smaller progressive stages.
periodization
Principle that states the body will adapt to the specific demands that are placed on it.
Principle of Specificity or specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID principle)
If someone repeatedly lifts heavy weights that person will produce higher levels of _____________
maximal strength
If a person repeatedly lifts lighter weights for many reps, that person will develop higher levels of _________
muscular endurance
refers to the weight and movements placed on the body
mechanical specificity
Refers to the speed of contraction and exercise selection.
Neuromuscular Specificity
