Resistance Training Adaptations Flashcards
Hypertrophy
Increase of proteins (actin and myosin)
Hyperplasia
Increase in number of muscle fibers
Which type of fiber shows a greater increase in endurance exercises?
Type I
Which type of fiber shows a greater increase in size?
Type II
What type of fiber is type I?
Slow-twitch
What type of fiber is type II?
Fast-twitch
What does an increase in pH buffering cause?
Toleration of higher concentrations of lactid acid
What type of capabilities are increased with muscular hypertrophy and resistance training?
Functional capabilities of ligaments and tendons
In neural control, what should increased in the first few weeks due to neural adaptations?
Muscular capacity
Muscle force is lesser or greater when more motor units are recruited?
Greater
Muscle force is lesser or greater when motor units are lesser in size?
Lesser
Muscle force is lesser or greater when the firing rate is slower?
Lesser
True or False: shorter muscles can lift more weight?
True
True or False: force capability of the muscle increases as the velocity of the contraction increases?
False
True or False: hormones are a biomechanical factor in human strength?
True
