Resistance Exercise Flashcards
Resistance exercise
Activity where dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force
Muscle performance
Ability of muscle to do work which includes strength, power, and muscular endurance
Strength
Ability of muscle to produce force
Power
Muscles ability to produce force as quick as possible
Muscular endurance
Ability of a muscle to contract repeatedly against external force
Specificity of training
Adaptive effects of training are highly specific to the method used
Transfer of training
Carryover of training form one activity to another
Cross training effect
Exercising one limb to improve or maintain the strength of another limb
Reversibility principle
Use it or lose it
How quick can detraining occur?
1 week
What results in poor muscle fatigue?
Did not get adequate rest
What results in cardiopulmonary fatigue?
Stayed up late
After work
Have not eaten
What is neural adaptation to resistance exercise?
Increase in motor unit recruitment and firing
What is skeletal adaptation to resistance exercise
Increase in hypertrophy
What is vascular and metabolic adaptation to resistance exercise
Increase in ATP and phosphocreatine storage
