Sedentary MET
Less than 1.5 ml/kg/min
Light MET
1.5-2.9 ml/kg/min
Moderate MET
3.0-5.9 ml/kg/min
Vigorous MET
6.0+ ml/kg/min
Training Principles
- Progressive Overload

Physiological benefits of warm up for RT
- warm up muscles
- specific warm up activates same joints/muscles as exercises
- reduce chance of injury
- inc blood flow
- reduces muscle viscoelasticity
Warm up for RT
- general aerobic 2-10 minutes
- specific 2-10 minutes
- warm up set
Foam rolling
- can be used in warm up or cool down
- distal to proximal or proximal to distal
- greater improvements are achieved with longer duration (30-60s)
Dynamic stretching
- controlled movement through the ROM of active joints
- uses momentum to create the stretch
- neck circles, arm circles, body weight squat, ankle circles
Muscular Strength
The ability for a muscle or group of muscle to voluntarily exert a maximal external force
Muscular Hypertrophy
excessive development of an organ or part, specifically increase in bulk (as by thickening of muscle fibres) without multiplication of fibre parts
Muscular Endurance
- The ability to sustain performance and resist fatigue
- The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for a sustained period of time
General Benefits of RT
- increase muscle mass
- maintain or increase metabolism
- reduce risk of mortality
- increase physical function
- maintain mm during fat loss program
- inc bone mineral density
- imp insulin sensitivity
- im cardiovascular health (in combination with aerobic)
- improve mental health
Clinical Benefits of RT
Combined training = inc VO2max, muscle strength, lean body mass, and dec blood pressure
RT Adaptations
Neural = 2-4 weeks
-inc motor neuron output (motor unit recruitment and firing rate)
-inc cortical and spinal excitability
-reduce inhibition in descending drive
Morphological = 6-8 weeks
-inc CSA (inc contractile proteins (myofibrils)
-in tendon-ligament stiffness
-positive changes in BMD (young inc, old attenuates dec)
-inc mm capillary density
Paradigm of Hypertrophic response
Proper resistance stimulus and nutritional intake > muscle activation to produce force > hormone and immune response > satellite cell activation > protein synthesis > muscle growth
Acute Effects of a Single RT session
- alters activity of ~70 genes
- protein synthesis increases and peaks 24h post exercise, elevated for 36-48 hrs
- optimal hypertrophy involves compromising mechanical and metabolic stimuli
Endocrine response to RT training
- Acute inc in anabolic hormones (testosterone, growth hormone, cortisol) within 15-30 mins of RT
- Greatest acute hormonal elevations occur with the following RT stimulus:
- moderate volume
- moderate to high intensity
- shorter rest intervals
- large muscle mass
Resistance Training Status: Beginner/novice
Training age: <2 months Goal of Program: PA as a habit, safety, technique Frequency: 1-2x per week Training Stress: Low to none Technique: None or minimal
Resistance Training Status: Intermediate
Training age: 2-6 months Goal of program: improve health outcomes and/or performance Frequency: 3+ Training Stress: Medium Technique: Some or Extensive
6 Steps of CSEP-PATH required for writing a RT program
- Ask- gather information about the client
- Assess relevant aspects of ftiness
- Advice client on their results
- Agree on an action plan
- Assist client if necessary
- Assist client by planning progression/variations
Intensity - RM
1RM = 100% 1RMmax 2=95% 3=93 4=90 5=87 6=85 7=83 8=80 9=77 10=75 12=70
Disadvantage to using %1RM
- can’t measure for each exercise
- novice improve strength very quickly and for long periods of time
- hard to get true accurate %1RM in novice
Disadvantage of using RM
- assumes linear relationship between %1RM and number of reps to fatigue
- not accurate with endurance prescriptions
- use of different equipment changes relationship (free weights/machine exercise)
Progressing Intensity and Volume
Progress workload
- resistance lifted
- volume (sets X reps X resistance lifted)
- Duration of session to complete all exercises in a set or total training session
T or F: Multiple sets are better than single sets for Hypertrophy
True
Acute Program Training Variables
- Exercise Selection and Order
- Intensity and Volume
- Rest intervals
- Lifting Velocity
- Frequency
T or F: Intentionally slow lifting tempo is superior to the typical 1-0-2
False. Slow tempo (<10sec/rep) is inferior
T or F: It is optimal for muscle groups to be trained on at least 2 sessions per week in order to maximize muscle growth
True. But not all clients should start at 2. Training goal, training status, recovery ability, nutritional intake should all be considered
