Musculoskeletal Testing/Programming Flashcards
Muscular strength
maximal force
Muscular endurance
sustained submaximal force
Muscular power
force per unit of time
Steps for 1-RM testing
Warm-up:
* 5-10 reps at 40%-60% of estimated 15-RM
* 3-5 reps at 60%-80% of estimated 1-RM
Attempt 1-RM
2-4 min rest between attempts
Increase weight conservatively
Attempt until failure
Increase weight conservatively
5-10% upper body
10-20% lower body
Relative strength
1-RM / body mass
Muscular power tests
Vertical jump
Standing long jump
Dynamic muscular endurance testing
YMCA bench press
Dynamic muscular endurance tests: calisthenics
Pull-ups, push-ups, trunk curls
Considerations/tests for muscular fitness in elderly
Strength:
* 1-RM testing is appropriate
* Submaximal estimate of 1-RM
Functional fitness
* Arm curl
* 30-sec chair stand
Power
* Tendo: explosive chair stand
Considerations/tests for muscular fitness in children
Strength
* 1-RM testing is appropriate
* One-on-one supervision
* Child-sized resistance machines
Endurance
* Multiple-rep body resistance (e.g., push-ups, pull-ups)
Power
* Standing long jump
Resistance training program recommendations for children
Qualified instruction and supervision
Proper form
5 main categories of resistance training
Stabilization
Muscular endurance
Muscular hypertrophy
Strength
Power
Specificity applied to resistance training programs
Muscle group
Muscle action
Training intensity
Overload applied to resistance training programs
> 60% 1-RM
Progression applied to resistance training programs
Volume
Intensity
Initial values applied to resistance training programs
Initial improvement of untrained individuals is rapid
Inter-individual variability applied to resistance training programs
Everyone is different and will adapt/respond differently to exercise
Diminishing returns applied to resistance training programs
Plateaus in strength and muscle mass for advanced lifters
Reversibility applied to resistance training programs
Mass and strength losses when program is terminated
Types of resistance training
Static (isometric)
Dynamic
*concentric and eccentric
Isokinetic
Considerations for exercise order
- Large muscle groups before small muscle groups
- Multi-joint before single-joint
- Explosive power lifts before single-joint
- Weak muscles before stronger
- Most intense to least intense
- Include each major muscle group
Frequency for resistance training
General population: 2-3 days/wk; nonconsecutive
Advanced: 4-6 days/wl
Minimum 48 h rest between workouts
Intensity for resistance training
Novice: 60-70% 1-RM
Intermediate: 70-80% 1-RM
Advanced: 80-100% 1-RM
Muscular endurance: ≤50% 1-RM
