Chapter 14: Resistance Training Programs Flashcards
Resistance Exercise
Strength training or weight training
Resistance training
The combination of many consecutive resistance exercise sessions over time
Specificity
Only the muscles that are trained will adapt and change in response to a given program.
SAID principle
SAID indicates that the adaptation will be specific to the demands that the exercise places on the individual.
Progressive overload
As the body adapts to a given stimulus, an increase in the stimulus is required for further adaptations and improvements.
Variation in training
No one program should be used without changing the exercise stimulus over time.
Periodization
The phasic manipulation of the training variables as a means of optimizing desired physiological outcomes while concurrently reducing the incidence of overtraining.
Prioritization
It is difficult to train for all aspects of muscular fitness. Thus, within a periodized training program, one needs to focus or prioritize the training goals for each training cycle. This technique is often used in athletics paralleling competitive season schedules.
DOMS
Delayed onset muscle soreness.
Delayed onset muscle soreness
A condition of heightened postexercise soreness that presents in the initial 24-48 hours after the exercise session and may last upward of 5-7 days
Rhabdomyolysis
A clinical pathology that is characterized by the rapid breakdown of muscle tissue resulting in high amounts of intramuscular proteins entering into the blood stream that are potentially harmful to kidneys and can cause kidney failure and sometimes death.
Isotonic
A muscular contraction in which the muscle exerts a constant tension.
Isometrics
A muscular action in which no change in the length of the muscle takes place.
Isokinetic device
Isokinetic devices allow one to maintain a maximum resistance throughout the whole ROM by controlling the speed of the movement.
Prehabilitation
Preventing initial injury by training the joints and muscles that are most susceptible to injury in an activity.
Bilateral
The use of both limbs
Unilateral
The use of just one limb
Multi-joint
Coordinated action of two or more muscle groups and joints.
Single Joint
Exercise using only one limb.
Concentric muscle action
When sufficient force is produced to overcome the external load and shorten the muscle.
Isometric muscle action
When the muscle produces force but there is no change in the length of the muscle.
Eccentric muscle action
When the production of force occurs while the muscle is lengthening.
Hypertrophy phase
Consisting of high volume and short rest periods.
Strength/power phase
Consisting of reduced volume but increased load and rest periods.
Peaking Phase
Consisting of low volume but high load and longer rest periods.
