18
Q

Disruption at the level of the sarcomeres is defined as?

A

DOMS

19
Q

DOMS is related to novel ______ and novel ______

A

Novel stress and novel intensity of muscle contraction

20
Q

What is the “Neural Theory” regarding DOMS?

A

As you repeat the same exercises you experience “motor learning” (increased MU recruitment)

21
Q

Repeated Bout effect refers to?

A

The idea that same exercises do not cause DOMS effect

22
Q

Lactate does not cause muscle soreness

A

NO it does not

23
Q

Methods for creating overload involving different muscle actions

A
  • Strength, hypertrophy
  • Power
  • Endurance
24
Q

What is the outcome of overload training?

A

Increased force generation & hypertrophy

25
Q

To obtain an “overload” tension in the muscle must exceed what % of its current maximal level?

A

60-70%

26
Q

FITT is an acronym for prescribing exercise, what does it stand for?

A

Frequency, intensity, time/duration, type/mode

27
Q

Intensity of exercise refers to?

A

Resistance

28
Q

Multiple joint exercise are most effective at increasing what?

A

Muscle strength

29
Q

What type of exercise require reduced level of skill and have less injury?

A

Single joint exercise

30
Q

3 guidelines for exercise selection

A

Exercise large Muscle groups before small
Exercise multiple joints before single
Higher intensity before lower intensity

31
Q

What is the most effective frequency of exercise in untrained individuals?

A

2-3 alternating days per week

32
Q

Muscle initiation should start what percentage of your 1RM

A

Start at least at 40-60%

33
Q

For strength what % of your 1RM should you start at?

A

60% with 8-12 reps

—progression for experienced is at 80-85%

34
Q

How often should you retest your 1RM

A

Every 2 weeks

35
Q

Define volume

A

of reps * intensity * sets

36
Q

Define low volume programs

A
  • high load (60-85% of 1RM)
  • low reps
  • low to moderate # of sets
  • **Results in strength/hypertophy
37
Q

Define high volume programs

A

Low load (40-70% of 1RM)
high reps
moderate to high number of sets
**Results in endurance gains

38
Q

Greater strength/hypertrophy increase with sets lasting how long?

A

Longer…30 sec to 2-3 min

—ACSM guidelines suggests 3-5 min post 1RM trials

39
Q

Power gains are made with…

A

low to high loads (30-85% of 1RM) and fast velocities

—-power is dependent on velocity

40
Q

Hypertrophy gains are made with….

A

Highest loads (80-85% 1RM w/ 6 reps or less)

41
Q

Initial phase of periodization consist of?

A

high reps and sets with low load

42
Q

With strength training 3x/week what are your expected outcomes?

A

10-20% every 1-2 weeks

43
Q

What frequency of working out will maintain strength gains

A

1-2 days/week
