Exam 2 Flashcards
components of training
- exercise speed
- number of reps
- variety of exercise
overload principle
- muscle will adapt
- overload will then become normal load
- progressive resistance
- gradual load increase
reversibility principle
- implies the avoidance of long interruptions in the training process
- interruptions can have negative impacts (reversibility)
specificity of exercise principle
- the response to exercise is specific to the nature of type and exercise performed
- applies the specificity of strength, muscular, and cardiorespiratory motor patterns
resistance training - station training
- station training is the completion of all the sets of one exercise before moving to the next one
- the optimal training stimulus for strength is moderate to high intensity
resistance training - circuit training
-allows an individual to combine specific exercises to achieve specific fitness goals
cardiorespiratory training - endurance
- continuous or SLD training
- 40 - 60% maximal performance over long distance
- no breaks
cardio training - fartlek
- combines slow long distance training, pace/tempo training, and interval training
- used by runners in prep season
cardio - interval
- extensive interval
- intensive interval
repetition training
- maximum intensity levels
- used in final preps for competition
- long recover periods
combination training
-stimulate both muscular and cardio fitness
combo circuit training
can include machines and running laps
cross training
- aerobic cross training
- muscular endurance cross training
- activity cross training
physical fitness
- the ability of the body to adjust to the demands and stresses of physical effort
- thought to be a measure of one’s health
physical activity
any movement carried out by the skeletal muscles requiring energy
exercise
a subset of physical activities that are planned, structured, and designed to improve or maintain physical fitness
power
-the ability to overcome external resistance at a high rate of muscular contraction
muscular endurance
the ability of a muscle or muscle group to sustain a given level of force (static exercise) or to contract and relax (dynamic exercise)
muscular strength
- measured as a maximal value
- the ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert force against a resistance
- strength = force
- F = m x a
- W = F x D
cardiorespiratory endurance
- involves both heart and lungs
- provides oxygen to tissues
- VO2max
- absolute VO2max
- relative VO2max
VO2max
- when oxygen consumption has reached a plateau or a maximal level
- larger individuals have larger VO2max
absolute VO2max
- a volume per unit time
- related to mass
relative VO2max
ml/kg/min
flexibility
- the ability of a joint to move through its full range of motion
- determined by joint structure
- connective tissue
- active and passive
active flexibility
-range of movement generated by the individual effort
passive flexibility
the range of movement achieved with the help of external forces
static stretching
holding a fully stretched position
-ex: split
dynamic stretching
- rapidly moving a joint through its full range of motion
- ex: baseball pitcher
prestretch
- active stretching phase
- pretension phase
- passive stretching phase
training components
- training time
- training frequency
- training volume
- training intensity
1RM
- maximal performance in one rep
- strength
work-to-rest ratio
- relationship between phases of work and rest during training
- low intensity = low rest
warm up
- raise body temp
- increase range of movement
- increase CNS activity
generalized motor program
-consists of a stored pattern of movements
