Muscle action Flashcards
Most resistance exercises include what two actions?
Concentric and eccentric muscle action
What is concentric CON muscle action?
When the muscle is shortened as it is activated
What is eccentric ECC muscle action?
When the muscle is lengthened as it is activated
What is repetition velocity?
When the force is equal to the mass times acceleration, significant reductions in force can occur when repetitions are moved slowly
When does intentionally slow velocity occur?
use of submaximal loads the individual has greater control of the velocity
When does unintentional slow velocity occur?
attempting to exert maximum force but due to high loading or fatigue the weight travels at slow velocity
What is the SAID principle?
Specific adaptations to impose demands
One of the most critical principles for the strength and conditioning practitioner to keep in mind while designing a program is
Specific adaptations to impose demands [SAID]
What is muscular strength?
The ability of the neuromuscular system to generate force.
What exercises should be emphasized for optimal gains?
Multiple joint exercises
How long should a rest periods be for fundamental exercises
Rest periods should be 2 to 3 minutes between sets
How long should rest intervals be for assistance exercises?
The rest interval should be 1 to 2 minutes between sets
What Is increased by performing grader work in the same amount of time or by performing the same working last time?
What is muscular power
To move back or slow down is?
What is regression
The act of moving forward or advancing towards a specific goal is?
What is progression
Progressive overload, variation, specificity. Are three general principles of
Progression
The gradual increase of stress placed on the body during resistance exercise training is
Progressive overload
What is the alteration of acute program variables overtime
variation
To ensure long-term gains in performances, it is imperative to plan systematic changes in
Exercise choice, intensity, volume and repetition velocity
