Module 6 Effect of Manipulating Intensity

Question 1

If you train at lower intensities (e.g 30RM) what are some important requirements to gain similar adaptions that are seen at higher intensities (e.g.80% 1rm)?

A) Increase in perceived effort
B) Increase in total volume and training to repetition maximum
C) Increase in total volume

Answer 1

B) Increase in total volume and training to repetition maximum

Question 2

What specific adaptations still seems to favour training at high intensities (>70% 1RM) compared to lower intensity? (Think Mitchell and Phillips 2012 paper)

A) Muscular endurance
B) Isometric strength
C) Dynamic strength

Answer 2

C) Dynamic strength

Question 3

The Marshal, Finn and Siegler (2014) paper showed what mechanism to get to similar levels between a high and lower intensity isometric condition when training to maximal intent?

A) None of the answers listed
B) % Voluntary activation
C) Quadriceps EMG
D) Contractile function

Answer 3

B) % Voluntary activation

Question 4

What are important factors to consider when interpreting findings from the training intensity literature?

A) All answers listed
B) The training history/age of participants
C) The total volume accrued between the different training conditions
D) The lifting intent during repetitions

Answer 4

A) All answers listed
