Exericse Physiology - Training Types Flashcards
1
Q
Types of Training:
A
- Resistance
- Interval
- Continuous
- Circuit Training
- Fartlek
- Flexibility
- Plyometrics
2
Q
Resistance training:
A
- Providing a resistance to the muscle, we attempt to improve muscle strength and power.
3
Q
Types of Contractions:
A
- Isotonic
- Isometric
- Isokinetic
4
Q
Isotonic Contractions:
A
- Muscle length changes against a constant load.
- Broken further into two subgroups:
- Concentric:
- Muscle shortens and tension is developed
- Eccentric:
- Muscle lengthens while developing tension.
- Concentric:
5
Q
Isometric Contractions:
A
- Muscle tries to change length but cannot overcome resistance
- Eg. Pushing against a wall
6
Q
Isokinetic Contractions:
A
- Speed of movement is constant throughout
- Muscle gains strength evenly
7
Q
Interval Training:
A
- Different work and rest periods in one session to enable a large amount of high intensity exercises.
- More likely used when training ATP and Lactic Acid systems.
- Can be done for all energy systems
- Can mimic demands of sports such as rugby and soccer.
8
Q
Continuous Training:
A
- Long, slow, distance training.
- Usually performed at around 75% Max HR
- Develops aerobic system
- Lowers heart rate etc.
9
Q
Circuit Training:
A
- General conditioning
- Small rest period between each workout period
- Usually involves 15-20 stations of differing intensity and exercise
- Provides variety
10
Q
Fartlek Training:
A
- Combination of continuous and interval training
- Continuous running at different paces and hill intensity
- Both aerobic and anaerobic can be trained
11
Q
Flexibility:
A
- A measure of the range of motion about a joint
- Stretching etc.
12
Q
Plyometrics:
A
- Explosive jump training
- Doing various jumps and then rebounding
- A concentric contraction immediately follows and eccentric contraction, more power produced.
- Develops power
- Allows to replicate competition
