Power & Endurance:

Question 1

Strength

Answer 1

The maximum force a muscle can generate in 1 contraction no time limit

Question 2

Maximal strength

Answer 2

-ability to preform maximal voluntary muscular contractions in order to overcome powerful external resistances

Question 3

One repetition maximum

Answer 3

-the greatest force that can be exerted during 1 repetition for a given contraction of muscles

Question 4

Myogenesis

Answer 4

-increases strength
-the development of muscular tissue

Question 5

Hypertrophy

Answer 5

Increase amount of actin & myosin in myofibrils

Question 6

By increasing contractile protein

Answer 6

-the number of fibres doesn’t change, the density of contractile proteins in the myofibrils increases

Question 7

Maximize hypertrophy - reps:

Answer 7

Load should fatigue muscles in 6-10 reps

Question 8

Maximal & absolute strength

Answer 8

The greater the active body mass, the greater the maximal or absolute strength
-athletes who overcome rest acne of partner (football)

Question 9

Relative strength

Answer 9

The proportion of maximal strength to body mass =(max/body mass)
-athletes classified by weight or overcome their own weight

Question 10

Neural mechanisms increases strength

Answer 10

-increase firing frequency
-recruit more motor units
-synchronize the firing of motor units
-reduce inhibitory firing
-improve inter-muscular coordination
-utilize stretch reflex immediately prior to movement

Question 11

Resistance training

Answer 11

Exercise using an opposing force

Question 12

Calisthenics (body weight) advantages:

Answer 12

-variety
-less experience
-convenient
-natural/functional movement
-better for stabilizers, balance, specificity

Question 13

Calisthenics (body weight) disadvantages:

Answer 13

-no external resistance
-lack of commercial programming

Question 14

Types of resistance training

Answer 14

-medicine balls
-bands,
-ropes, tires
-free weights

Question 15

Free weights advantages

Answer 15

-variety
-overload
-less expensive than machines
-natural/functional movement compared to machines

Question 16

Free weights disadvantages

Answer 16

-time consuming
-expensive
-technique needed for safety
-need a spotter

Question 17

Machines advantages

Answer 17

-safe & easy to use
-less time consuming
-increase overload throughout ROM

Question 18

Machines disadvantages;

Answer 18

-expensive
-less variety
-unnatural movement
-poor stabilizer, balance, coordination

Question 19

Isometric state

Answer 19

When muscle force = the load
-muscle will not change in length

Question 20

Concentric state

Answer 20

-when muscle force exceeds the load
-muscle will shorten

Question 21

Eccentric state

Answer 21

-when muscle force is less than the load
-muscle will lengthen
-greatest hypertrophy
-greatest DOMS

Question 22

Negatives

Answer 22

Concentrically,isometrically, then eccentrically
(Lowering weights)

Question 23

The faster the contraction

Answer 23

-the fewer cross bridges at any given moment
-reduced force is generated as contraction speed increases

Question 24

Power

Answer 24

Maximum force a muscle can generate in minimum time
-speed & strength

Question 25

Muscular resistance

Answer 25

-low resistance high reps

Question 26

contraction speed

Answer 26

-low resistance with fast movement speed

Question 27

Muscular strength

Answer 27

Prepare the tissues for subsequent power training
