Question 1

define muscular strength

Answer 1

• The ability of the neuromuscular system to produce force -> typically against some form of external resistance.
• The maximum force that can be generated by a muscle/ muscle ground

Question 2

define muscular endurance

Answer 2

• The ability of a muscle/ muscle group to perform repeated contractions over time

Question 3

define muscular hypertrophy

Answer 3

• The ability of skeletal muscle to exert force repeatedly over a period often done to increase lean body mass (hypertrophy)

Question 4

define power

Answer 4

• The rate of performing work/ rate of force production
• Power = force / time

Question 5

intensity of strength

Answer 5

80%1RM

Question 6

time of strength

Answer 6

3mins

Question 7

volume of strength

Answer 7

6x2

Question 8

improved motor unit recruitment

Answer 8

– increased number of motor units recruited results in greater force production

Question 9

enhanced rate coding

Answer 9

increased frequency of motor unit firing -> generation of subsequent action potentials occur more rapidly with enhanced rate coding. Therefore, increasing force production once motor unit recruitment has peaked.

Question 10

improved motor unit synchronisation

Answer 10

simultaneous and coordinated activation of relevant motor units, enhanced motor unit synchronisation results in absolute force production

Question 11

intensity of endurance

Answer 11

70%1RM

Question 12

time of endurance

Answer 12

30seconds

Question 13

volume of endurnace

Answer 13

12 x 2

Question 14

intensity of hypertrophy

Answer 14

70%1RM

Question 15

time of hypertrophy

Answer 15

60 seconds

Question 16

volume of hypertrophy

Answer 16

12 x 2

Question 17

intensity of power

Answer 17

50%1RM

Question 18

time of power

Answer 18

3mins

Question 19

volume of power

Answer 19

5 x 2
