SAID principle

A

specific adaptation to imposed demands
- when the body is subjected to stresses and overloads of varying intensities it will gradually adapt over time to overcome whatever demands are placed on it

Q

The function of a warm up

A
  • prepare the body physiologically for some upcoming physical work
  • gradually stimulate the cardiorespiratory system to moderate degree to increase the blood flow to working skeletal muscles and increase muscle temperature

Q

aerobic metabolism

A

Q

which energy system is used most?

A
  • Most activities include both aerobic and anaerobic systems.

Q

Time

A
  • individuals must participate in at least 20 minutes of continuous activity with the heart rate elevated to its working level
  • competitive athletes should train for at least 45 minutes with HR elevated to training levels
30
Q

Interval training

A
  • alternating periods of work with active recovery
  • allows for performance of much more work at a more intense workload over a longer period of time than does working continuously
31
Q

Conditioning period

A
  • amount of time that continuous activity is actually being performed
32
Q

Recovery period

A

time between training periods

33
Q

Speed play

A
  • fartlek

- individuals must run for a specified period of time; however, pace and speed are not specified

34
Q

Muscular strength

A

the maximum force that can be applied by a muscle during a single maximum contraction

35
Q

Power

A

the ability to generate force rapidly

36
Q

Muscular endurance

A

the ability to perform repetitive muscular contractions against some resistance

37
Q

Hypertrophy

A

enlargement of a muscle caused by an increase in the size of its cells in response to training

38
Q

Atrophy

A

decrease of a muscle caused by a decrease in the size of its cells because of inactivity

39
Q

Number of muscle fibers is determined by…

A

genetics and does not seem to increase with training.

40
Q

Theory about myofilaments

A

myofilaments increase in both size and number as a result of strength training causing the individual muscle fibers themselves to increase in cross-sectional diameter

41
Q

Efficacy is achieved by…

A

getting more motor units to fire, causing a stronger contraction of the muscle

42
Q

Biomechanical factors

A
  • the length of a muscle determines the tension that can be generated
43
Q

Overtraining

A

can result in pyschological breakdown (staleness) or physiological breakdown, which may involve musculoskeletal injury, fatigue or sickness

44
Q

Slow Twitch Fibers

A
  • type 1
  • slow oxidative
  • dense with capillaries and are rich in mitochondria
  • they carry more o2
  • more resistant to fatigue
  • long-duration, aerobic activities
45
Q

Fast-Twitch Fibers

A
  • type IIa, moderately resistant to fatigue
  • Type IIx, fast glycolytic, less dense, Type IId, fastest muscle type in humans and it can contract more quickly and with a greater amount of force than type IIa
  • can only sustain short, anaerobic bursts of activity before it becomes painful
46
Q

type 2b

A

less dense
white in color
true fast twitch fibers

47
Q

Muscles contain which fibers?

A
  • any given muscle contains all types of fibers
  • those muscle whose primary function is to maintain posture against gravity require more endurance and have higher percentage of slow-twitch fibers
  • muscles that produce power, rapid, explosive strength have more fast-twitch fibers
48
Q

Types of Skeletal muscle contractions

A
  • isometric
  • concentric
  • eccentric
49
Q

Isometric contraction

A
  • occurs when the muscle contracts to increase tension but there is no change in the length of the muscle
  • biceps brachii when holding a weight still (bicep curl)
50
Q

Concentric Contraction

A
  • the muscle shortens in length as a contraction is developed to overcome or move some resistance (subscapularis during throwing)
51
Q

Eccentric contraction

A
  • the resistance is greater than the force being produced, and the muscle lengthens while continuing to contract (rotator cuff during throwing)
52
Q

Core stability training

A

muscles of the lumbar spine, abdomen, hips, and pelvis.

53
Q

Isometric exercise

A
  • contracts the muscle statically without changing its length
  • capable of increasing muscular strength unfortunately, strength gains are specific to the joint angle at which training is performed
54
Q

Concentric (positive) contraction

A
  • muscle shortens while contracting against resistance

- accelerate movement

55
Q

Eccentric (negative) contraction

A
  • the muscle lengthens while contracting against resistance

- decelerate movement

56
Q

shortens and lengthens the muscle though a complete range of motion

type of exercise that takes advantage of the stretch-shortening cycle
- box jumps

61
Q
