Muscular Fitness

Question 1

bone density reaches it’s peak around age ___.

Answer 1

20

Question 2

in what way can resistance training benefit individuals with type II diabetes?

Answer 2

improve insulin sensitivity: more muscle area for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake

Question 3

what exercises are commonly used for assessing muscular endurance?

Answer 3

abdominal curl up test

push up test

Question 4

Relative Muscle Endurance?

Answer 4

the max amount of weight a person can lift according to their body mass, age and gender

Question 5

Absolute Muscle Endurance

Answer 5

measurement of # repetitions applied over time with a set weight not accounting for body weight

Question 6

is a muscular endurance test more concerned withe the amount of force produced by a contraction or the duration of force application?

Answer 6

duration of force application

Question 7

Muscular endurance

Answer 7

ability of a muscle group to repeatedly contract over a time until failure due to fatigue

Question 8

expound on muscular endurance in a weaker individual vs. a stronger individual

Answer 8

a stronger individual may have a higher 1RM but will likely have less endurance than an individual with a lower 1RM who can sustain contraction for longer

Question 9

what is the most common anaerobic test?

Answer 9

wingate

Question 10

what is the wingate test?

Answer 10

30-sec all out test at a resistance of (0.075 × kg of body mass)

Question 11

what 3 things does the wingate test provide?

Answer 11

1) peak power
2) mean power
3) fatigue index

Question 12

Peak Power

Answer 12

greatest work performed during the 1st 5 sec

Question 13

Mean Power

Answer 13

total work performed during the entire 30 sec

Question 14

Fatigue Index

Answer 14

indication of fast-twitch fiber proportion

Question 15

name 4 strength assessment tests

Answer 15

vertical jump, long jump, medicine ball throw, wingate

Question 16

Power

Answer 16

can be defined as ones ability to perform work in a given time

Question 17

what is the gold standard for measuring strength?

Answer 17

1RM

Question 18

What are the disadvantages to isometric strength testing

Answer 18

It is specific to a one joint angle and not as functional or related to sport performance

Question 19

what are the advantages of isometric strength testing?

Answer 19

portable, safe, reliable, inexpensive

Question 20

what are the advantages of dynamic strength testing?

Answer 20

more correlated with functional performance, inexpensive (with some equipment)

Question 21

what are the disadvantages of dynamic strength testing?

Answer 21

less safe, more expensive (with some equipment), it is measuring the weakest point in the ROM

Question 22

Integrated status of muscular components

Answer 22

Muscular Fitness

Question 23

strength, endurance, and power

Answer 23

three components of muscular fitness

Question 24

Maximal force a muscle or group of muscles can generate (Peak torque, 1RM)

Answer 24

strength

Question 25

Ability of the muscle to make repeated contractions at a submaximal

Answer 25

endurance

Question 26

The rate of Performing Work (strength x speed)

Answer 26

power

Question 27

describe the relationship between tendon stiffness and power

Answer 27

the stiffer a tendon is (higher integrity) the more passive force can contribute to contraction
