Exam 2 Flashcards
Optimal amount of STRESS
- applied at the right times with the optimal amount of recovery between application of stress.
- this needs to be individualized for each person. everyones stress level and recovery is different.
- nutrition is important to this factor
- Stress and sink analogy????
GAS
General Adaption Syndrome
1 Alarm Reaction
2 resistance stage
3 exhaustion stage
Alarm reaction
GAS
first reaction to stressor. resistance diminished
Resistance stage
GAS
if the body or individual adapts to the stressor increased resistance occurs. alarm reactions disappear.
Exhaustion Stage
GAS
Look at the chart
long-continued exposure wears own body’s resistance; adaptations energy is exhausted. alarm reaction signs reappear. individual can eventually die. ( overtraining/ too much stress on the body)
Specificity
– want to train the same way you play
- Working on
1 muscle groups, muscle actions, rom, movement, joint, metabolic
** will want to train the certain muscle you want to use.
SAID principle
Specific Adaptation Imposed Demand
-type of demand placed on body dictates type of adaptation that will occur
Overload
- putting more stress on the body than it is used too
- different resistance and aerobic
Resistance
overload
1 intensity
2 volume
3 rest periods between sets
4 biomechanics, leverages, body postions
(Intensity)
Resistance
overload
by ↑ the weight
(volume)
Resistance
overload
the ↑ the amount of reps that you do
- number of repetitions in a set
- number of exercises in a session
- number of sessions in a week
Aerobic
overload
- volume
- duration
- intensity
- recovery
(Volume)
Aerobic
overload
how much they do ( weekly miles)
(duration)
Aerobic
overload
the distance – making the run longer
(intensity)
Aerobic
overload
how fast you are running – speed
(recovery)
Aerobic
overload
time between runs
Progressive Overload
stress continues to be more * or different) than the body is used too
– variation plays a role
* over time you are adding the stress to the body
( the guy hold the cow)
periodization
- 1960 is when it became big
- systematic planning of training
- tudor bompa made it popular
- topic has received a lot of attention in athletics programming
Macrocycles (large division)
[Periodization]
several months to a year or years ( up to four years) time period
Mesocycles(intermediate)
[Periodization]
several weeks to several months time period
Microcycles ( smallest )
[Periodization]
days to weeks time period
Common types of periodization
1 linear-norm scale
2 block- month blocks
3 undulating
Bars/ Barbells
There are many different shapes and lengths
Knurling
Bars/ Barbells
rough part of bar used fro grip
Sleeve
Bars/ Barbells
outer portion where plates are loaded → want this to rotate
Bar Marks
Bars/ Barbells
there is no real standardization unless used for competitive lifting
- the middle knurling is used to back squat
Fixed barbells
Bars/ Barbells
usualy shorter length and used for arm exercises
- cant change the weight
two types of bar diameter of outer sleeve
Bars/ Barbells
1 Olympic (2 inches)- most common in commercial settings
2 Standard (1 inches)- more common for personal use in home gym settings
most common types of Olympic bars
Bars/ Barbells
- 7 foot straight bar
- EZ curl bar
7 foot straight bar
most common types of Olympic bars
Bars/ Barbells
45 pounds
** shorter and lighter straight bars exist but are less common
[5ft long bar]
EZ curl bar
most common types of Olympic bars
Bars/ Barbells
15-25 pounds
is usually short and always curved (makes lifting easier on the wrists)
Bar prices OLYMPIC
Bars/ Barbells
- 45lb olympic cost $100-1200
- they are more expensive and have extreme material properies, low friction in rotation sleeves, handle heavy loads ( 1000lb +) without the damaging the bar
Bar Prices CHEAP
Bars/ Barbells
you what you pay for; damage to bar is concern
- bent bar most common problem
- broken or fractured bars are less common but present greater safety/injury risk
Maintenance →Sleeves
Bars/ Barbells
make sure outer sleeves rotate freely
- a locked up sleeve can lead to injury!!
Maintenance →Bend
Bars/ Barbells
- cant unbend a bar
- cheap bars bend under load
- not unloaded bars on rack
- dropping loaded bars on racks cause damage
Maintenance →screws
Bars/ Barbells
make sure any screws on the outer sleeve are always tight (sleeves can fall off)
Maintenance →Rust
Bars/ Barbells
want to make sure the var doesnt rust
- BUT can be removed with wire brush and chemical agents
Maintenance →Cleaning
Bars/ Barbells
shouldnt really clean them in the grip region can lead to problems the moisture can cause grip issues
Plates/ discs
there are olympic and normal plates
plates sizes
Plates/ discs
2.5,5,10,25,35,45,100
— 35 lbs and 100 lbs are not always common
what are light factional plates?
Plates/ discs
these are used for special purposes but are uncommon
what shapes are the
Plates/ discs
-historically they were round
-interlocking plates
- plates with handles holes
-non-round plates with many sizes
→→ this can be hard to do some exercises ( deadlifting)
→→ designed for olympic weights,
Rubber plates
Plates/ discs
designed for olympic weights
- fatter and thicker than metal plates
- -rubber plates are made for designed for general use
- -removable rubber rings also exist but not common
Cheap plates
Plates/ discs
- these are more likely to break or fracture
Extra
Plates/ discs
- older plates
→ concrete sand, water, encased in plastic
-price ranges .5- 4 dollars per pound
-unit of measure varies
Collars
mechanism for tightly fitting and securing plates to barbells
- should always use collars
- weight of collar varies
collar designs
Collar
- handles
- really strong ones will need screws
- hand strength can be the limiting factor
Dumbbells
short handles designed for single hand use
-fixed weight but can be adjustable
two primary designs
Dumbbells
1 small plates
2 solid masses
3 other exist
Weights
Dumbbells
weights under 20 go up by 5 pounds
rubber?
Dumbbells
the heads or plates can be metal or rubber-encased
– the smaller ones are normally covered all over and are colored
maintenance
Dumbbells
-do not drop →lead to lose heads →they can become bent - make sure they are not lose anywhere →will need to look at screws →if head is lose can it fixed
Kettlebells
more??
a weight resembling a connonball with a handle
– allows for variety of movement
Balls
1 Medicine balls
2 stability balls
Medicine balls
Balls
weighred balls used for various exercises
- come in different weights (1-2 lb to 100+ lbs)
- older versions often encased by leather, now with rubber
- some have handles, other have ropes atttached
Stability balls
Balls
larger inflated balls often used to promote core strength/ balance
- different sizes exist; also different shapes ( the pill)
- proper inflation levels must be maintained and puncture risk minimized; will need to watch for wear and tear
Bands
bands have elastic propertiesof rubber
- they are portable & adaptable to diff. exercise
- limited # of different tensions
- bands can be attached to stable structures
- some bands have handles
- excessive stretching can break them (need to watch)
band thickness/strength
Bands
Thin
- often used for rehabilitation or those requiring very light resistance
Thick
- used by more experience people, usually for strength/ power purposes
- -look at section in slide
other strength implements
see pp. 238-242 for example
- straps used in conjunction with ones body in certain positions
Grips
1 gloves
2 chalk
3 lifting straps
4 hooks
Gloves
Grips
gloves without finger that cover palm
- prevents blisters and calluses; aids in grip and causes less pain
- not necessary for safe resistance training
chalk
Grips
magnesium carbonate
- aids in grip ( by absorbing moisture from the hands)
- only necessary when grip and safety may be compromised ( heavy loads)
- many gyms do not allow chalk because of the mess people make
Lifting straps
Grips
- used to tie the hands in the bar
- loop on one end goes around the wrist; tail of other end is wrapped around bar
- enhances ability to hold onto something bur dos not allow for the development of grip strength
- can become relaxant on them!!!→ this is bad
hooks
Grips
these are not common
-an actual hook like device is attached to the wrist and then used to hold the weight on
