Resistance Training I Flashcards
Name the organ that is the stress sensor in tendons, which can induce inhibitory impulses, reducing the maximum amount of force a human could theoretically exert
Golgi tendon organ
The following can all be involved with an increase in muscle strength, for which do we have very limited evidence in humans?
- Influence of muscle hyperplasia
- Influence of hormones
- Influence of nutrition
- Influence of muscle hypertrophy
- Influence of muscle hyperplasia, a whole muscle has to be removed to count its fibres.
True/False: The concept RPE dates back to the 60’s?
True
True/False: The underlying idea that RPE could be used as a marker for exercise intensity is its linear relationship with blood lactate concentration
False, RPE has a linear relationship with HR not lactate concentration
RPE - Which statement is correct?
- Environment doesn’t have a major influence, it’s exercise intensity that determines it
- Obtaining a value at a submaximal intensity can be used to find VO2max
- There is only one RPE scale that should be used in research
- Training status may affect how we score RPE for a given intensity
- Training status may affect how we score RPE, familiarity to the exercise may affect it
True/False: RPE can only be used for monitoring of an acute exercise bout
False, they can also be used to calculate a session RPE, allowing monitoring of training over time
In an estimation - production trial,
- Familiarisation effects with regards to the RPE scale can be analysed
- The principal aim is to estimate VO2max based on given RPE values
- People estimate their power output for a fixed exercise intensity in a first session and then try reproduce the same load in a subsequent session
- People estimate RPE for a given intensity in a first session and then try to reproduce the load in a subsequent session, based on the RPE in session 1
- People estimate RPE for a given intensity in a first session and then try to reproduce the load in a subsequent session, based on the RPE in session 1
