Program design Flashcards
requirements for the program depend on
- the Individual (body type)
- Specific within the sport
- Specific based on position
- consider injury profile
Job/sport/daily activity analysis
-limb movements and muscle involvement
physiologocial analaysis- metabolic specificity, stregth-power-hypertrophy-endurance
unjury analysis- common joint and muscle injuries and causes
Sport analysis ranking
1=highest 5= lowest 1=endomorphy 3=mesomorphy 5=ectomorph
Sport analysis categories
- absolute strength
- relative strength
- explosiveness
- high intensity endurance
- low intensity endurance
- body mass
- height
- somatotype
- aggressiveness
Somatotype
combination of body mass and height 1-4
Individual analysis
- training status/training background/exercise history (technique)
- physical testing and evaluation- find strength and weaknesses
Training status components
- training age (length of time spent training specific to lift & intensity of training
- training history
- type of training
- length of training
- intensity of training
- exercise technique
Exercise selection (what modality?)
impossible to say what is best
goal=transfer of training (strength/power gains) to sport or work performance
Free weights (advantages)
- similarity to sport/work
- unstable resistance
- whole body, power exercise
- infinite adaptability
- can be done in upright or standing position
- superior transfer of training
free weights (disadvantages)
- harder to teach and learn
Variable resistance machines
like free weights rely on gravity
-use pulleys and gears to alter direction of resistance
Machines Benefits
safety- low injury likelihood
design flexibility-can do things that free weights would be difficult (lat pull downs, leg curls)
3. ease of use-weight can be easily changed
Variable resistance methods
variable resistance-claim that machine can change the work load to match the strength curve of the human throughout whole ROM
CAM- allows for change in resistance
not supported by research
resistive torque vs human torque
human produces force on a downward U shape, machines vary as well but not enough.
unstable training
theorized to bring greater musculature into play
improves “core” training
not evidence based
Accommodating Resistance
-chains and elastic bands
research on dead lift and squat
-increases the weight as the lift progresses
-w/o the hardest part is lifting weight off the floor and gets easier
Exercise types
- Core vs. assistance exercises
- Structural exercise
- Power exercise
- sport specific exercises
- muscle balance
Core Exercises
-multi-joint large muscle mass exercises
Assistance Exercises
-isolation of a sing joint small muscle mass
injury prevention may be increased
Structural Exercises
-core exercises that load the spine
Power Exercises
-structural exercises done explosively (cleans,jerks)
Movement Analysis of a sport
- Analyze actions during sport and choose exercises related to motion
- train the antagonists as well to create muscle balance
Other considerations
- exercise technique experience
- availability of equipment
- time available for training
Training Frequency
- # of training sessions completed in a given time period usually per week
- 3 times per week for each muscle group is typical
- at least one but nor more than three days between workouts of same muscle group
