Exercise Modes For Strength Flashcards
4 factors of muscle performance
- Fiber type
- Fiber diameter
- Recruitment (size principle)
- Muscle size
Type I = _________ = __________
Slow twitch - oxidative
Type IIA = __________ = __________
Fast twitch - oxidative
Type IIB/X = ___________ = __________
Fast twitch - glycolytic
Explain fiber diameter as it relates to oxidative/glycolytic pathways
Smallest - slow ox
Intermediate - fast ox
Largest - fast glyco
Recruitment order of muscle fibers
I –> IIA –> IIB/X
Hypertrophy can be obtained by training at ________ of max force generating capacity
60-70%
Hypertrophy increases these two muscle characteristics
- Cross sectional area
2. Force production
Long distance runners fiber type percentage
60-70% type 1
Sprinters fiber percentage
80% type II
Evidence of shift from __________________ and vice versa
Type IIx - type IIA
Is it possible to shift from type I to type II?
Limited studies of shift
Explain the force velocity relationship
Small load: muscle inc speed of shortening
High load: muscle slows speed of shortening
A muscle’s capacity to produce force depends on its __________. What relationship does this explain?
Length
Length-tension
Sarcomeres in series are arranged for
Velocity
Sarcomeres in parallel are arranged for
High force
What is responsible for early increases in strength?
Neuro recruitment and adaptation
2 systems that lead to muscle fatigue
CNS
Cross-bridges
What happens to muscle performance at puberty?
5 fold increase for males; 3.5 for women
When do women/men peak?
Early 20s; by 30
Strength declines _______/year, then accelerates at what age?
1%, 50yo
In 60s/70s, strength declines ______%, then ___% per decade
15-20%
30%
3 drugs that negatively modify muscle performance
Alcohol
Corticosteroids
Anabolic steroids
