Quiz 2 Flashcards
what has been observed in men in elevated concentrations up to 30mins after a resistance training workout
testosterone, growth hormone and cortisol
what is the recommended range of heights for depth jumps for athletes
40-105cm
what is an adaptation to resistance training that is a beneficial change in pennated muscles
increased fascicle length
a bench press should be performed at what for an athlete to begin upper body plyometric training
5 reps x 60% body weight in 5 seconds or less
there is an increased risk of injury when performing plyometric exercises for athletes that weigh more than
100kg
when used correctly a plyometric exercise movement
increases the power of subsequent movement
what contributes to an athletes ability to rapidly accelerate, decelerate or achieve high velocities
percentage of fast twitch motor units and the ability to activate/coordinate them
what is over working your body in resistance training called
functional overreaching
what factor doesn’t affect the degree to which blood flow is increased in the working muscles during anaerobic training
resting heart rate of the athlete
what is used to calculate load volume
weight x reps
when an athlete dramatically increased the time spent practicing sport specific skills and tactics and decreased overall training volume what period of training are they in
competitive
what is held constant during a traditional resistance training exercise
external load
what is an advantage of variable resistance training
matches the change in joint leverage
what is a primary neural adaptation to anaerobic training
increased neural drive and reductions in inhibitory mechanisms
what describes the rate and amplitude of impulses being sent from the nervous system to the target muscles
neural drive
