Intro to Bioenergetics Flashcards
What is the Overload Principle?
Habitually overloading a system will elicit a physiological response.
What 4 factors need to be considered when applying a stimulus to a system?
load, repetition, rest intervals, and frequency.
What does the Specificity principle state?
Adaptations of training are specific to the nature of the training activity and matched to the athlete’s specific training needs.
ex. Arm Curls will not get you huge legs
What is the Reversibility principle?
No training is permanent; consistency is needed for maintenance of adaptations.
“Use it or Lose it “
What does the Individuality principle emphasize?
The training program must be tailored to the specific needs and abilities of the individual.
What is Bioenergetics?
The study of energetic events in a bioenergetic world.
What is the concept of Concentration Gradient?
If C1 > C2, movement will occur from C1 to C2; particles move down the gradient.
What determines the speed of particle movement in a gradient?
Movement speed is determined by the width of the gradient.
What is the concept of the pressure gradient?
- If P1 > P2 = movement down that pressure gradient
- Movement of fluid through a tube
- AKA vessels of our body
- Velocity of movement determined by:the width of that gradient
What are the 3 gradients in the body?
Concentration, Pressure, Tempature
What is the concept of the temperature Gradient?
- If T1 > T2, we will have molecular movement from T1 to T2
- Heat moves down its concentration gradient
What are the 4 Basic Training Principles?
1.Overload Principle
2.Specificity
3.Reversibility
4.Individuality
