PPT 1 - Program Design for Resistance Training (Ch17) Flashcards
What is specificity/SAID?
refers to the method whereby an athlete is trained in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome.
What is overload?
refers to assigning a workout or training regimen of greater intensity than the athlete is accustomed to.
Progression promotes (long-term/short-term) training benefits.
long-term
What are the 7 steps to a resistance training program design?
1) Needs Analysis
2) Exercise Selection
3) Training Frequency
4) Exercise Order
5) Training Load & Repetitions
6) Volume
7) Rest Periods
What kind of exercise types are under “exercise selection” of the training program?
core and assistance exercises
structural and power exercises
Core exercises recruit ____ or more large muscle areas.
1
Core exercises involve ____ or more primary joints.
2
Which is more important: core or assistance exercises?
core
What kind of muscle areas does the assistance exercises recruit?
smaller muscle areas
How many joints are involved in assistance exercises?
1 primary joint
What are structural exercises?
emphasize loading the spine directly orindirectly.
What are power exercises?
are structural exercises that are performed very quickly or explosively.
What is muscle balance?
Exercises selected for the specific demands of the sport should maintain a balance of muscular strength across joints & between opposing muscle groups (agonists & antagonists).
Does muscle balance mean equal strength?
not always
What does training status affect?
the number of rest days needed between sessions.
How many workouts per week is recommended for athletes to allow sufficient recover?
3 workouts per week
Athletes who train with maximal or near-maximal loads require (less/more) recovery time prior to their next training session.
more
Upper-body muscles can recover (more quickly/less quickly) from heavy-loading sessions than lower-body muscles.
more quickly
Recovery from single-joint exercises is (slower/faster) than from multi-joint exercises.
faster
Alternating lighter & heavier training days may (increase/decrease) training frequency.
increase
Put the following in order of when they should happen:
assistance exercises,
power exercises,
nonpower core exercises.
1) power
2) non power
3) assistance
What is preexhaustion?
A “reverse” exercise arrangement where the athlete purposely fatigues a large muscle group as a result of performance of a single-joint exercise prior to a multijoint exercise involving the same muscle.
If training time is limited, what should you do to rest?
Minimizes the length of the rest periods required between exercises.
Maximizes the rest between body areas.
Decreases overall training time.
Circuit resistance training has (many/little) rest periods.
little
What do push and pull exercises improve?
recovery and recruitment between exercises
Push and pull exercises ensure that (same/different) muscle group will not be used for ____ exercises, or in some cases, ____ sets, in succession, which will reduce fatigue in the involved muscles.
same, 2,2
Are push and pull exercises better for beginner or advanced athletes?
beginner
What is a superset?
involves sequentially performing 2 exercises that stress 2 opposing muscles or muscle areas.
e.g., an agonist & its antagonist.
What is compound set?
involves sequentially performing 2 different exercises for the same muscle group.
Explain training load and repetitions
To plan variation in the training program & to avoid the exhaustion phase of Selye’s GAS associated with overtraining, it is important to quantify the amount of mechanical work or degree of metabolic demand.
Mechanical work =
= force X displacement
so, volume-load X displacement
What is Load-Volume (equation)?
= total # sets X #reps/set X wt lifted/rep
Volume load measures quantity or quality?
quantity
