Quiz 3: Resistance Exercise Flashcards
What is resistance exercise?
an activity in which a dynamic or static muscle contractions is resisted by an outside force applied manually or mechanically
What is muscle performance?
the capacity of a muscle to do work (force x distance)
What are the 3 key elements of muscle performance?
- strength
- power
- endurance
What are some factors that can affect muscle performance?
- injury
- disease
- immobilization
- disuse
- inactivity may impair muscle performance and result in weakness and muscle atrophy
What is strength?
muscle’s ability to overcome resistance in one powerful effort (ability to lift)
What is functional strength?
neuromuscular system’s (ability to generate force) for everyday tasks
What is strength training?
gradually (increasing resistance) to build muscle strength systematically
What is power?
speed of muscle force application (force x distance/time)
What are some examples of power?
quick intense movements
- vertical jump
- shot put
- racing up a flight of stairs
What is the difference between aerobic and anaerobic?
Aerobic: with oxygen
Anaerobic: without oxygen
What is endurance?
Withstand fatigue during long, low-intensity movements
What is cardiopulmonary endurance (CPE)?
heart and lungs ability to efficiently supply oxygen for prolonged, large muscle movements
What are some examples of CPE?
- walking, cycling, swimming, or upper extremity ergometry
What is dynamic muscle endurance?
the ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly against a fixed resistance over extended period
What is static muscle endurance?
the ability of a muscle to sustain a muscle contraction against a fixed resistance over extended period
What is the overload principle?
alteration of intensity or volume of exercise
What is the SAID principle?
always base the specificity of an exercise program on the projected outcome
What is the reversibility principle?
use it or lose it
What are the 3 energy systems in the body?
- aerobic/oxidative development
- (anaerobic) glycolytic development
- ATP-PCr development
______ stores blood supply
Energy
True or False:
Muscles need adequate sources of energy to contract generate tension and resist fatigue.
True
What does fatigue look like in a muscle?
the diminished response of a muscle to a repeated stimulus
What does fatigue look like in cardiopulmonary (whole body)
The diminished response of an individual to prolonged physical activity such as jogging, walking, cycling, or repetitive work
What is the threshold for fatigue?
stopping point
- the level of exercise that cannot be sustained indefinitely
What are some factors that influence fatigue?
- patient’s health status, diet, lifestyle (sedentary/active)
The onset of fatigue is often __________ in patients with neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary, inflammatory, cancer-related, or pyschological disorders
irregular
After exercising, when does lactic acid leave the body?
after an hour
How long does it take for glycogen to replenish in the body?
several days
What does age and muscle performance look like in:
early childhood and preadolescence?
strength increases for both boys and girls until puberty
What does age and muscle performance look like in:
adolescence?
boys experience rapid strength growth due to hormone changes
What does age and muscle performance look like in:
young and middle adulthood?
women peak in their 20s, men peak around age 30
What does age and muscle performance look like in:
late adulthood?
muscle strength declines with age, accelerating in the sixties and beyond
True or False:
Fear, sadness, and difficulty focusing or remembering can affect movement.
True
________ is how much someone wants to exercise and __________, like encouragement, helps them stay motivated
Motivated / feedback
True or False:
when you start resistance training, your muscle quickly get stronger because your nerves improve at you controlling them
True
What is hypertrophy?
muscles grow larger due to increased myofibrillar volume
What is hyperplasia?
more muscle fibers are created
What are Type IIb fibers?
grow bigger with heavy resistance training
What are Type IIb to IIa transformation?
occurs with endurance and early heaving resistance training
What are Type I fibers?
(slow twitch)
- sustain muscle contraction for long periods with low tension (endurance)
What are Type II fibers?
(fast twitch)
- geared towards anaerobic metabolism (weight lift or burst of energy
Low intensity, high-volume training causes capillary density to ________
increase
High intensity, low-volume training causes capillary density to ___________
decrease
True or False:
Athletes who participate in heavy resistance training have fewer capillaries per muscle fiber than endurance and untrained individuals
True
Increased tendon strength occurs at the ____________________ _________
musculotendinous joint
Increased ligament strength may occur at the ____________ ____________
ligament-bone interface
