exam 3 Flashcards
maximum force or tension generated by a muscle group or muscle
muscular strength
a term used to describe the integrated status of muscular strength, endurance, power and hypertrophy
muscular fitness
rate of performing work: force x velocity
moving load as fast as possible through a range of motion
muscular power
metric for aerobic exercise
VO2max
metric for resistance training
1-RM
problem with RPE in resistance training
not as linear relationship between RPE and HR than with aerobic training
resistance training recommendations
involve all major muscle groups
at least 1 set
8-12 reps
2 days/weeks
what is the most important factor in developing strength
INTENSITY (force)
most important factor in developing muscle endurance and muscle mass
Total training volume
repetition range for muscle hypertrophy
6-20
repetitions for muscular power
3-6 reps as fast as possible
repetitions for muscular endurance
lighter loads with 15-25 reps
when strength is expressed as ____ ____ _______ _______ the sex differences dissipate
% of muscle area
using strength/kg LBM
a system or tissue must be exercised at a level beyond which it is accustomed in order for a training adaptation to occur
overload principle
what is the training effect
the adaptation of the tissue to the overload
overload/workload is determined by combination of the following:
mode intensity duration frequency rate of progression
specific exercises elicit specific adaptation, which are reflected in specific training effects
specificity principle definition
specificity of high-intensity, lower-repetition weight training
muscular strength
specificity of low-intensity, high-repetition
muscular endurance
continuous, submaximal stress results in large adaptations in _____ metabolic pathway
aerobic with much less adaptation in the glycolytic pathway
physiologic and metabolic adaptations are ______ to the muscles engaged in the training
specific
what is task-related specificity
gains made in one type of activity do not transfer well to other activities
peripheral adaptations
adaptations local to the muscle
eg. oxidative capacity
central adaptations
changes in blood volume, cardiac function, hemoglobin concentration, etc
