chapter 5 Flashcards
neural adaptations with anaerobic exercise
first to occur
increase in agonist muscle recruitment
a reduction in inhibitory mechanisms(GTO)
central adaptations with anaerobic exercise
increases when new exercises are being learned
most takes place in spinal cord
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise fiber size, myofibrillar volume, cytoplasmic density, myosin heavy-chain protein
increases
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise mitochondrial density
decreases
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise creatine phosphokinase, myokinase, phosphofructolkinase, sodium-potassium ATPase
increases
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise stored ATP, Creatine phosphate, glycogen
increases
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise ligament, tendon, collagen and bone density strength
may increase
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise body %body fat
decreases
physiological adaptations with anaerobic resistance exercise fat-free mass
increases
maximal strength and power increases of agonist muscles result from?
increase in recruitment, rate of firing, synchronization of firind
motor units are recruited in what order?
according to their recruitment thresholds and firing rates (size principle)
the size principle might not exist in ? becasue?
elite athletes, body learns to recruit more effectinly
the role of increasing firing rate (vs. recruitment) appears to be dependent on ?
muscle size
smaller muscles rely on?
large muscles rely on?
small muscles: increased firing rate to enhance force production
large muscles: recruitment
anaerobic training can ? firing rates of recruited motor units
enhance
