Q

What happens to muscle fibers with heavy resistance training?

A

all muscle fibers get larger because motor units are recruited in a sequential order by their size to produce high levels of force.

Q

Advanced lifters vs. muscle fibers

A

the CNS might adapt by allowing these well-trained athletes to recruit some motor units in a nonconsecutive order, by recruiting larger ones first to promote greater production of power or speed in a movement.

Q

Hypertrophy vs. EMG

A

The onset of muscle hypertrophy

Is associated with a decline in EMG activity.

20
Q

Higher post-training EMG activity has been observed in the training programs designed to improve…….

A

musuclar power

21
Q

Cross-Education

A

training 1 limb can result in an increase in strength & neural activity in the untrained limb.
greater EMG activity in the untrained limb.

22
Q

Bilateral Deficit

A

force produced by both limbs contracting

23
Q

Skeletal muscle adapts to anaerobic training primarily by…

A
  • by increasing its size,
  • facilitating fiber type transitions, &
  • enhancing its biochemical & ultrastructural components.
24
Q

What causes muscle hypertrophy?

A

is primarily due to an increase in the CSA of the existing fibers.

25
Q

Process of muscle hypertrophy involves an increase in the:

A
  • net accretion of the contractile proteins actin & myosin within the myofibril.
  • number of myofibrils within a muscle fiber.
  • synthesis of structural proteins such as titin & nebulin.
26
Q

Proteins responsive to mechanical deformation of muscle include (3)..

A

Protein kinase B (Akt) / mTOR pathway,
Adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway, &
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway

27
Q

Muscular growth training stimulus (mechanical/metabolic factors)

A

Mechanical factors:
heavy loads, eccentric muscle actions, & low to moderate training volumes.
Metabolic factors:
low- to moderate-intensity or moderately high-intensity training, high volumes, & short rest intervals.

28
Q

Acute anabolic hormone responses. Which hormones?

A

Testosterone, Growth Hormone

29
Q

Downregulation of inhibitory growth factors. Which hormone?

A

Myostatin

30
Q

Upregulation of stimulatory growth factors. Whcih?

A

IGF-1

31
Q

Protein synthesis elevates after (acute/chronic) resistance exercise?

A

acute

32
Q

Magnitude of protein synthesis depends on?

A

carbohydrate & protein intake.
timing of nutrient intake.
mechanical stress of the weight training workout.
muscle cell hydration levels.
anabolic hormonal response.
subsequent receptor response to hormones.

33
Q

Resistance training increases both Type I and Type II muscle fiber areas. Which does it increase more?

A

Type II

34
Q

Training & activation of high-threshold motor units results in the transition of Type ____ muscle fibers to Type ____ muscle fibers.

What does this mean?

A

IIx to IIa

this means that a shift of the type of myosin ATPase & heavy chains takes place during training.

35
Q

High-intensity resistance exercise training results in a decrease in Type _____

A

IIx

36
Q

Resistance training has been shown to (increase/decrease) the angle of pennation in pennate muscle.

A

increase

37
Q

The combination of resistance, sprint, & jump training has been shown to:

A

increase fascicle length in rectus femoris muscle.

38
Q

Sprint & jump training have been shown to:

A

increase fascicle length in vastus lateralis muscle

39
Q

Sprint training has been shown to enhance __________ release.

A

calcium

40
Q

Heavy resistance training has been shown to reduce….

A

mitochondrial density.

41
Q

Resistance training has been shown to:
(increase/decrease) capillary density, (increase/decrease) resting CP & ATP concentrations, (increase/decrease) glycogen content.

A

decrease, increase, increase

42
Q

does high-intensity interval training increase or decrease buffering capacity?

A

increases the acid-base balance.

43
Q

How can athletes stimulate bone formation?

A

Select MJ structural exercises that involve many muscle groups at once.

Select exercises that direct axial force vectors through the spine & hip.

Use the principle of progressive overload to stress the musculoskeletal system.

Use both heavy-load exercises & ballistic or high-impact exercises to expose the bone to different intensities of force.

Vary the exercise selection to change the distribution of force insults & to present a unique stimulus for new bone formation.

44
Q

How Can Athletes Stimulate Adaptationsin Tendons, Ligaments, & Fascia?

A

High-intensity exercises (loads) should be used because they markedly change the collagen content of connective tissue.

Forces should be exerted throughout the full ROM of a joint.

MJ exercises should be used whenever possible.

45
Q

Deschenes et al. (1993) study

A

Total area of rat, soleus NMJ: increased by both HIT & LIT
Dispersed, irregular-shaped synapses: HIT > LIT
Total length of nerve terminal branching: HIT > LIT
Average length per branch: HIT > LIT
Number of secondary (finer) branches): HIT > LIT

resistance exercise training significantly increased:
endplate perimeter length,
endplate area, &
the dispersion of ACh receptors within the endplate region.

46
Q

How can athletes stimulate adaptions in cartilage?

A

Moderate-intensity anaerobic exercise seems adequate for increasing cartilage thickness.
Strenuous exercise does not appear to cause degenerative joint disease when progressively overloaded appropriately.
Adopt a variety of exercise modalities & ensure that the load is applied throughout the ROM to maintain tissue viability.
