Muscular/Neuromuscular Adaptations to Anaerobic Training W6 Flashcards
What are the 2 types of systems which work anaerobically?
Anaerobic A-Lactic System
Anaerobic Latic System
What is the Anaerobic A-Lactic System?
Less than 10 seconds
Exercise are much shorter
Longer rest intervals
What is the Anaerobic Lactic System?
Beyond 10 seconds
Exercise are much longer
Less rest interval
What will influence Neural Adaptations?
Type of activity
Force production
Force power
How do motor units adapt to anaerobic training?
Increases its recruitment rate= increase in firing rate/firer= increases power and strength
What are the central adaptations to anaerobic training?
Motor cortex level of activity increase as level of force in the exercise increases
What is the neural muscular junction?
Where the nerve and the skeletal muscle fibres come tohether
What are the possible changes to the neuromuscular junction due to anaerobic training?
Increased total area
Greater total length of nerve terminal branching
More dispersed, irregularly shaped synapses
Increasing ability to increase motor unit
What is acetylcholine?
The neurotransmitter that transmits the information from the nerve to the muscle to create a response
What is the neuromuscular reflex potentiation?
Allows us to use muscle elastic properties to create greater force production without using extra energy
What is the myotatic reflex?
Involves involuntary elastic properties of the muscle
What does an increase in EMG indicate?
Greater neural activation
What is EMG?
Electromyography
Tests neural activation of skeletal muscles
What is bilateral force?
Bilateral force produce sum is lower than the sum of the same exercise force via a unilateral exercise performance
What is bilateral facilitation?
Where there is an increase in voluntary activation of the agonist muscle groups
