Resistan Exercise Flashcards
What are the goals of resistance exercise
- strengthening
- endurance
- power
- motor learning
What is strength training used for
Hypertrophy of type II fibers
What is endurance training used for
Targeting more type I fibers
What is the equation for power
work/time
what is power the function of
strength and speed
What exercises are usually used for power
plyometrics
what is motor learning
training muscles to work
What should you consider when picking an exercise
- Goals of the exercise
- muscle fiber type we are trying to train
- length tension relationship
- how much overload is needed
- what is the muscle supposed to do, specificity of ex
what are the different types of resistance
isometric
isotonic (concentric or eccentric)
isokinetic
what are the types of exercise modes
type of resistance
kinetic chain
application of resistance
What type of resistance is characterized as constant resistance at 0 degrees//sec, and force produced but not work
isometric
how long should you hold isometric contraction for adaptation
6 seconds
what can isometrics aid in decreasing
swelling
what could isometrics potentially iritation
joints
Which type of resistance is usually not functional
isometric
what are the different types of isometrics
muscle setting
resisted isometric
stabilization exercises
what is muscle setting used for
circulation, relaxation, decrease pain, and spasm, retard atrophy
what is resisted isometric used for
maintain or increase strength
what is stabilization exercises in isometrics used for
co-contraction, typically in the mid range of ROM
what type of resistance is characterized by a fixed resistance at variable speed and exercising through the full ROM
isotonic
