Q

How long does muscle adaptation take?

A
  • Neural adaptations from resistance exercise can happen after just one bout of Resistance Exercise
    -Although changes in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) has been reported as early as 3 weeks after resistance training, it is likely that these early changes largely affect muscle swelling due to muscle damage and inflammation.
  • More permanent changes in muscle CGA is observed >8 weeks of resistance training

  • Most common hypertrophy response to training
50
Q

What is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training?

A
  • Inflation of cuff to specified pressure to occlude venous return from muscle while maintaining arterial blood inflow to activate muscles
  • Low-loads (20-50% 1RM) performed to volitional failure or fatigue

A

The number of times a specific movement is repeated
- Specific to task/movement
- Predetermined ROM

54
Q

What are Sets?

A
  • A predetermined number of consecutive repetitions grouped together in a single bout.
  • Each set must be distinct, i.e. the trainee stops and takes a brief rest interval before starting another set
55
Q

How do Rest Intervals impact exercise?

A
  • Rest intervals between sets is an important variable that affects both acute responses and chronic adaptations to resistance exercise
  • It takes 2-3 minutes for the phosphagen stores to fully recover from a set of intense exercise
    –Rest intervals of 2-3 minutes are most affective for achieving the desired increases in muscle strength and hypertrophy
  • May vary from exercise intensity and training goals
56
Q

What is Volume?

A
  • Training volume is a summation of the total number of repetitions performed during a training session multiplied by the resistance used
  • Reflective of the duration of which muscles are being stressed
  • Sets x Reps x Load
    Ex: 3 sets x 6 reps x 225 lbs = 4050 lbs
57
Q

What is Frequency?

A

The number of exercise sessions per period of time
- Usually sessions per week
- Also consider number of times muscle groups exercised/week

Its also dependent of other training variables:
- Intensity
- Volume
- Pt goals
- Pt response to training

58
Q

A
  • Safety
  • Can disrupt training
    - Dont want to go to failure
  • Lack of motor skill
  • May not reflect training status
    - Testing itself is a training stimulus
    - Amount of load does not always correlate with effort
59
Q

What are alternative ways to assess intensity of Resistance Exercise?

A
  • Observational/bandwith
    -Velocity
    -Form Breakdown
  • Perceptual
    -Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
    -Repetitions In Reserve (RIR)
60
Q

What is Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)?

A

RPE is determined by having the individual perform an exercise or task and give a rating on the effort required, on a 0-10 scale.
- 0 being extremely easy, while 10 being extremely hard

61
Q

What is Repetitions in Reserve (RIR)?

A

RIR involves asking the patient “How many more reps do you think you could do if you kept going?”.
- This also uses a 0-10 scale.
-10 or greater meaning little to no effort, 0 meaning maximum effort

62
Q

How to use Repetitions in Reserve (RIR) to progress a novice lifter? (0-1, 2-4, 5-9, 10+ RIR)

A
  • If the individual has 0-1 Reps. in reserve, Decrease the load
  • If the individual has 2-4 Reps. in reserve, Keep the load the same
  • If the individual has 5-9 Reps. in reserve, small load increase
  • If the individual has 10+ Reps. in reserve, large load increase (but use discretion)
63
Q

What are some exercise options an individual has? (4)

A
  • Manual
  • Mechanical
    -Constant vs. Variable (Free-weight vs machine)

65
Q

Should there be an Exercise Order?
What is it more important for?
What are some methods used? (4)

A

Exercise order seems to be more important for development of strength/power
-Some evidence for hypertrophic benefit suggest working lagging muscles or muscle groups first in session

Some methods used:
- Upper/Lower body split (different days)
- Muscle group split (during workout)
- Multi-joint before single-joint
- Rotation of agonist - antagonist

A

Soreness that generally becomes noticeable ~8 hours post-workout and peaks 48-72 hours later, times may vary
- Related to muscle fiber damage (However the amount of damage DOES NOT correlate to amount of soreness)
- High-Intensity Eccentric exercises known to be likely to cause DOMS
- DOMS decreases when a person performs the same exercise program on a consistent basis due to repeated bout affect

  • Increase intensity of effort (RPE, RIR)
  • Change duration of repetitions (tempo/time under tension, velocity)
  • Use more challenging exercises (ROM, stability, unilateral vs bil, more complexity)
  • Use advanced training strategies (eccentric overload, drop sets, supersets)
86
Q

How do Males and Females compare in terms of resistance training?

A
  • Sedentary males and females can attain strength gains of 25-100% in a training program
  • Both respond similar in muscle cross-sectional area
  • Males tend to achieve greater absolute gains in hypertrophy
  • Females may be able to work at a higher training load
87
Q

What are the age factors for Older Trainees?

A
  • After age 40 we lose progressively more muscle mass
  • Regular resistance training reduces loss
  • Effective training for elderly needs:
    - Higher training dose
    - Higher Protein intake
88
Q

What are the age factors for Younger Trainees?

A
  • No real consensus on training younger children
  • Fears of growth plate injuries due to resistive training are unsupported
  • Resistance training can improve other health markers in children
  • Generally considered safe for preadolescent an older to participate in appropriate supervised programs
