Muscular Strength and Endurance Training Flashcards
Loss of function and aging:
- sedentary populations lose function @ rate of #% per year
- Athletes lose function @ ~#% per year
- 2%
2. 0.5%
________ occurs when 70% loss of function has occurred
Frailty barrier
elements of mm performance: Force
mass x acceleration
elements of mm performance: torque
force x perpendicular distance from axis
elements of mm performance: power
work / time
elements of mm performance: work
force x distance
the force output of a contracting mm or mm group
muscular strength
4 influences of muscular strength:
- cross section of mm
- lever arm
- neuromuscular factors
- psychological factors
5 ways to measure muscular strength:
- manual muscle testing (MMT)
- cable tensiometry
- dynamometry
- isokinetics (includes force production, torque, power, and work)
- isotonic one rep max lift
the ability of a mm group to perform repeated contractions over period of time or sustain a maximum voluntary contraction for a prolonged time
muscular endurance
These things determine ______: number of fibers recruited, size of fibers recruited, slow twitch vs fast twitch, body composition, efficiency/economy of movement, joint ROM, coordination, speed, age, gender, heredity
muscular power
5 physiological adaptations to resistance exercise/strength training
- neural
- skeletal muscle
- vascular and metabolic
- muscle fiber type
- connective tissue
______ adaptations:
- initial rapid gain in tension-generating of skeletal mm d/t neural responses
- increase recruitment in number of motor units firing as well as an increased rate and synchronization of firing (coordination)
- some cross over with training of unaffected side to affected side
neural adaptations
increase in the size of individual muscle fibers due to increased myofibrillar volume
hypertrophy
_______:
- increased cross-sectional area
- usually occurs after 4-8+ weeks of consistent training. responsible for secondary strength gains
hypertrophy
increase in number of muscle fibers, but is not a highly accepted theory
hyperplasia
_______ adaptations:
- with high instensity, low volume resistance training, there is a relative decrease in capillary bed density due to an increase in the number of myofilaments per fiber
vascular and metabolic adaptations
type 1 slow twitch mm fiber adaptation ==>
endurance and postural mm
type 2 fast twitch mm fiber adaptation ==>
power, strength, and speed
