LAB8- Muscular Fitness Assessment Flashcards
muscular fitness
composite term including multiple facets of overall muscular ability
3 components of muscular fitness
-strength
-endurance
-power
which components are health-related
-strength
-endurace
which components are skill-related
power
strength
the ability of a muscle group to develop contractile force against a resistance in a single contraction
endurance
the ability of a muscle group to exert submaximal force for extended periods of time
power
the ability of a muscle to exert force per unit of time or the rate of performing work
why is muscular fitness important
-skeletal muscle is a major portion of the body
-there are over 600 muscles that are vital to movement, metabolism, communication, posture, balance, heat production, breathing, + many other functions
skeletal muscle makes up ____% of an individual’s bodyweight on average
40%
what is beneficial for almost everyone
assessing a client’s muscular finess + then improving their muscular fitness with resistance training
in general, exercise that improves muscular fitness (aka resistance training) enhances what 5 things
-bone mass (prevents osteoporosis)
-glucose tolerance (prevents metabolic disorders)
-musculotendinous integrity (prevents injury)
-ADLs (related to self-esteem)
-FFM + RMR (related to weight management)
adaptations to resistance training- muscle performance
-increases muscle strength
-increases muscle endurance
-increases muscle power
adaptations to resistance training- muscle enzymes
-may increase phosphagen system enzyme concentrations
-increases phosphagen system enzyme absolute levels
-may increase glycolytic enzyme concentrations
-increases glycolytic enzyme absolute levels
adaptations to resistance training- muscle substrates
-may increase ATP concentration
-increases ATP absolute levels
-may increase CP concentration
-increases CP absolute levels
-decreases ATP + CP changes during exercise
-decreases lactate increase during exercise
adaptations to resistance training- muscle fiber characteristics
-increases (less than type II) type I CSA
-increases (more than type II) type II CSA
-increases % type IIa
-decreases % type IIx
-no change in % type I
adaptations to resistance training- body composition
-likely decreases % fat
-increases fat-free mass
-likely increases metabolic rate
adaptations to resistance training- neurological changes
-likely increases EMG amplitude during MVC
-likely increases motor unit recruitment
-increases motor unit firing rate
-decreases cocontraction
adaptations to resistance training- structural changes
-likely increases connective tissue strength
-likely increases bone density/mass
resistance training can improve what
multiple factors of overall health
the extent to which a client sees individual improvements of resistance training is dependent on what
the type of training they perform (the number of reps, sets, % of load, rest time, etc.)

to produce more force…
lengthen the eccentric phase
2 types of muscle contractions
-static (isometric)
-dynamic (eccentric + concentric)
4 types of dynamic contractions
-auxotonic (DCER)
-dynamic variable external resistance (DVER)
-isotonic
-isokinetic
isometric
muscular contraction which the velocity is 0 + the length of the muscle does not change
auxotonic
muscular contraction against resistance in which the velocity is not constant, the length of the muscle changes, + the tension or force required changes due to an increasing load or difference in leverage
isotonic
muscular contraction against resistance in which the velocity is not constant, the length of the muscle changes, but the tension or force required stays the same
isokinetic
muscular contraction against resistance in which the velocity is constant, the length of muscle changes + the tension or force changes
static- equipment
-isometric dynamometers
-cable tensiometers
-load cells
