PE 1.2 pt 2 Flashcards
name the 5 different types of strength
static
dynamic
maximum
endurance
explosive
define static and dynamic strength
force applied against a resistance with/without movement
define maximum strength
maximum force during a singular muscular contraction
define explosive strength
ability to produce maximal force in more than one muscular contraction very quickly
define strength endurance
the ability to continuously perform muscular contractions over a long period of time
factors affecting strength
cross sectional area = greater force of contraction
fibre type - greater % of FG and FOG = increase strength
Gender - men are typically stronger
age - peak strength for men - 18-30
peak strength for women - 16-25
2 advantages of the 1 rep max
direct measurement
easy procedure
2 disadvantages of the 1 rep max
difficult to isolate muscles
trial and error can cause fatigue
2 advantages for using the grip test
simple
cheap equipment
2 disadvantaged for using the grip test
only the forearm is measured
not sport specific
2 advantages for using the abdominal test
good for large groups
cheap
good for large groups
2 disadvantages for using the abdominal test
not sport specific
correct technique is required
2 advantages for using the vertical test
easy
can be done alone
2 disadvantages for using the vertical test
not isolated muscle group
only does the legs
intensity of training of explosive, maximal and endurance
endurance - 50-75
explosive - 75-85
maximal 85-95
reps for exp,max,end
end- 15-30
explosive - 6-10
max - 1-5
sets for exp,max,end
end - 3-6
max - 2-6
exp - 4-6
muscular adaptations due to strength training
Muscular hypertrophy
muscle hyperplasia
increase strength of tendons
increase bone density and mass
overall effects on muscles from the adaptations due to strength training
increased muscle mass
increase speed, strength
increase intensity of performance
metabolic adaptations due to strength training
increased enzyme activity
increased buffering capacity
increased muscle mass
overall affect of metabolic adaptations due to strength training
increased aerobic fuels
increase intensity and duration of the performance
increased metabolic rate
Neural adaptations due to strength training
and the overall affect
increased recruitment of muscle fibres
decreased inhibition of stretch reflex
increase speed and strength output
factors affecting flexibility
joint type - ball and socket have got the most flex
length and elasticity surrounding the connective tissue - greater ROM
gender - females have more flex than men
age - declines with age its is the greatest in childhood
2 advantages of the goniometer
measure any joint
accurate
2 drawbacks of the goniometer
expensive
have to have external help
2 advantages of sit and reach
cheap
can be done alone
