Chapter 14 - Resistance Training Programs Flashcards
Resistance exercise
A single exercise session
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 (volume, intensity, frequency, and rest intervals) 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.
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 limb
Unilateral
These 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.
