quiz 8 Flashcards
strength
maximal force that a muscle or muscle group can generate
measuring strength
1 repetition maximum: maximal weight that can be lifted with a single effort
estimating 1 RM upper body
(4-6 rep max (mass in kg) x 1.1307)+0.6998
estimating 1 RM for lower body
(4-6 rep max (mass in kg) x 1.09703 + 14.2546
muscular power
rate of performing work
power =
force x velocity
force =
strength
velocity =
distance/time
measuring power
- margarita step test
- Wingate cycle test
muscular endurance
capacity to perform repeated muscle contractions over time
sit ups
push ups
increased muscular endurance through
strength
aerobic power
rate of energy release by oxygen-dependent metabolic processes
-mitochondria
-ETC
maximal aerobic power
maximal capacity for aerobic resynthesis of ATP
primary limitation of aerobic power
cardiovascular system
measuring aerobic power
max tests
max criteria
- plateau in oxygen = < 2 ml/kg/min difference during last 2 minutes
- heart rate = > 95% predicted HR
- RER > 1.10
- 2 of 3 must be met
anaerobic power
rate of energy release by oxygen-independent metbolic processes
maximal anaerobic power
maximal capacity of anaerobic systems to produce ATP
principles of training
- individuality
- specificity
- reversibility
- progressive overload
- variation
individuality
the training program must consider the specific, needs, abilities and goals of the individual for whom it is being designed
high responders
people who show great improvement to a training program
low responders
people who show minimal or no improvement following the same training program
specificity
the training program must stress the physiological systems for critical for optimal performance in a given sport to achieve desired training adaptions in that sport
reversibility
adaptions gained will go away upon a decrease in volume or intensity
-detraining
progressive overload
to maximize the benefits of a training program, the training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus
strength training overload
as strength increases, resistance and repetitions must increase to further increase strength
progressive resistance training program
changing volume (reps) or intensity (weight) to maintain overload
progressive endurance training program
changing volume (miles) or intensity (pace) to maintain overload
variation
systematic process ofr changing one or more variables in an exercise training program over time to allow for training stimulus to remain challenging and effective
-intensity and volume (most commonly changed)
periodized program
- microcycle
- mesocycle
- macrocycle
microcycle
focuses on daily and weekly training variations
-lasts 1-4 weeks
mesocycle
duration is determined by major competitions
-lasts several weeks
macrocycle
focuses on the goal competition or training program (in season or off)
-end goal
needs analysis
measurement of factors that determine the specific training program appropriate for an individual
prescribe resistance training program based on
- goals
- needs anaylsis
- recommendation for health
exercise order within a workout
- large muscle groups before small
- multi-joint before single joint
- high intensity before low intensity
Muscular fitness
Strength gains similar to a percent of initial strength
Hyperplasia =
increase in the size of existing individual muscle fibers
=muscle gets larger
=increase in # of muscle cells
hypertrophy
increase in muscle size
Atrophy
loss of size, or mass, of body tissue with disuse
strength gains result from
altered neural control, hypertrophy, hyperplasia
what cells are recruited to fix muscle damage
satellite cells
muscle cells are __-
multinucleated
what myofilaments help hypertrophy and hyperplasia
myosin, actin, troponin and tropomyosin
