Muscle Training Adaptations - Lecture 32 Flashcards

1
Q

How do you improve strength through strength training

A
  • Motor neuron recruitment increases
  • More cross bridge connections; hypertrophy (more actin and myosin filaments).

Q

How does Hypertrophy work?

A

It’s when a cross sectional area of the muscle gets bigger

Q

Myofibrillar Hypertrophy

A

Number of myofibrils increase, meaning more actin and myosin filaments.

Q

Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy

A

The cytoplasmic fluid increases not the myofibrils

Q

Why is Myofibrillar Hypertrophy a functional form of movement?

A

It’s considered functional because there are more crossbridges to allow movement, longer lasting and more force output is allowed.

Q

Why is Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy non-functional?

Q

Hypertrophic adaptations to resistance training

A
  • Increase in X-section area
  • Increase in # of muscle fibres (myofibrils)
  • Increase in sarcoplasm

Q

What muscle fibres does resistance training work on and why?

A

Type II because resistance training is very intense and fast not like Type I which is slow twitch muscles.

Q

Importance of Protein?

A

It’s key to functional hypertrophy

18
Q

What type of protein intake is there?

A

Regular dieting and Supplementation

19
Q

Regular Dieting

A

Whole foods

20
Q

Supplementation

A

Whole protein and BCAAs (amino acids)

21
Q

What is the right amount of protein to intake?

A

1.4-2.0g/kg of body mass

22
Q

What happens to hypertrophy when protein intake is too little or too less?

A

Hypertrophy does not increase.

23
Q

What are the timings for protein intake to maximize muscle protein synthesis?

A

Daily Intake, Pre-Exercise, Post Exercise

24
Q

Daily Intake amount?

A

20-40g dose every 3-4 hours

25
Q

What does daily intake of protein help with?

A

Maximizes hypertrophy

26
Q

Pre-Exercise protein?

A

Protein alone or with carbs improves strength and body composition

27
Q

Post Exercise timing

A

Immediately to 2 hours after to increase MPS

28
Q

Intensity for Novice and Advanced?

A

65-85%

29
Q

Sets and reps for Intermediate and Advanced?

A

3 sets and 6-12 reps.

30
Q

How long is the rest for Beginner, Novice and Advanced?

A

30sec-1.5min

31
Q

Intensity for Beginner?

A

65-80%

32
Q

Sets and reps for Beginner?

A

1-3 sets and 8-12 reps

33
Q

Why is changing intensity and reps important to hypertrophy?

A

It lets you improve on either sarcoplasmic or myofibrillar hypertrophy depending on either increasing intensity or increasing reps.

34
Q

Best intensity, reps and rest for myofribrillar increase?

A

85%, 6 reps and 1.5min rest

35
Q

Best intensity, reps and rest for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?

A

65%, 12 reps and 30 sec rest.

36
Q

Phases of exercise?

A

Essential to optimizing training by letting you know not to overreach or overtrain and time your next exercise (Supercompensation)

37
Q

Overreaching?

A

A form of overtraining but recoverable. It’s not ideal in many cases.

38
Q

Overtraining?

A

A syndrome that allows for a very long recovery that takes months to come back to baseline.

39
Q

What are flaws in the training program designs that contribute to overtraining?

A

Exercise selection, rapid sudden increases in load, training multiple times in a day, Excessive training,

40
Q

What are the effects of overtraining?

A

Loss of performance, excessive soreness, lack of appetite, fatigue, mood problems, illness increases, etc.
