Chapter 9-10 Flashcards
Strength training, is a systematic program of exercises designed to increase an individual’s ability to resist or exert force
Resistance training
The best way to build and tone your muscle is through a program of
Resistance training
Resistance training involves e
Weights, weight machines, elastic bands, and the weight if your own body
Benefits of Resistance training
It builds and tones muscles, improves metabolism and increases the strength of tendons, ligaments, and bones, which may help prevent injury
The maximum amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert against an opposing force
Muscular strength
Two types of muscular strength
Absolute and Relative muscular strength
The maximum force you are able to ext regardless of size, age, or weight
Absolute muscular strength
The maximum force you are able to exert in relation to your body weight
Relative muscular strength
True or False: Females overall have lower percentages of absolute muscular strength then males
True because males have more muscle fibers
Which muscular strength is more important then the other
Relative Muscular Strength because it takes in are; weight; gender etc.
Formula for relative muscular strength
Weight lifted divided by body weight= relative muscular strength
The ability of the same muscle or muscle group to contract for an extended period of time without undue fatigue
Muscular Endurance
Muscular Endurance is measured by two numbers:
The amount of resistance (weight) and the number of repetitions (reps)
The maximum number if times you can repeatedly perform a resistance activity in relation to your body
Relative Muscular Enduracne
What does endurance deal with more?
Breathing
To improve a muscle strength or endurance, you must first overload that muscle
Overload principle
The continued systematic increase of muscle workload by the additions of more weight or resistance
Progressive resistance
What are the five components of progressive resistance training
Weight training, weight lifting, bodybuilding, strength training, and rehabilitation
All body movements depend on
Muscles
A special type of striated tissue that forms the walls of the heart
Cardiac Muscle
The most important muscle in your body
The heart w
Three types of muscles
Cardiac, Smooth, Skeletal muscle
Muscles responsible for the movements of the internal organ, such as the intestines, the bronchi of lungs and the bladder
Smooth Muscles
Muscles attached to bones that cause body movement
Skeletal must’ve
Has little effect on involuntary muscle
Resistance training
Two-thirds of the muscle in your body are ________ muscles. They account for ____% of your body weight
Skeletal
40%
The shortening of a muscle
Contraction
The stretching of a muscle
Extension
Isotonic contraction, a type of muscle contraction that occurs when the resistance force is movable
Dynamic Contraction
Isometric contractions, is a type of muscle contraction that occurs absent of any significant movement
Static contraction
Examples of Static Contractions
Planks and wall-sits
Pathways that deliver messages from the brain to other body parts
Nerves
The specific structure in the muscle that receives the signal
Muscle fiber
Skeletal muscles are connected to the bones by means of fibrous cords of tissues called
Tendons
