72
Q

A
73
Q

What are the types of muscular endurance?

A

there are two definitions!
RME: relative muscle endurance
AME: absolute muscle endurance

74
Q

What is RME

A

RME: relative muscle endurance = # of reps on can complete against a percentage of their current strength

75
Q

what is AME

A

AME: absolute muscle endurance: the # of reps one can complete against a set load
does not take into account max strength

76
Q

Of RME and AME, which is more practical?

A

AME
firefighter gear weight is set, couch weights are set, cross fit vests are set, etc

77
Q

what is the primary driver for increasing heavy load AME?

A

increasing strength!

78
Q

what mechanisms can explain the load decadence of muscle endurance training

A

Load decadence: slow loss of training adaptations due to lack of increase of stimulus
occurs when the training stimulus is not strong enough, in muscle endurance this could be too low of a load

79
Q

what is free flow vs occluded?

A

free flow: no restriction of blood
occluded: restricts blood flow using a band. can be good for muscle growth and strength by increasing metabolic stress

80

endurance adaptations higher in free flow vs occluded
