Resistance Training Intro (wk 5) Flashcards
What refers to the capacity of the muscle to do work?
Muscle performance
What is the ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on demand placed on the muscle?
Strength
What is the ability of neuromuscular system to produce, reduce, or control forces during functional activities in a smooth coordinated manner?
Functional strength
What is related to the strength and speed of a movement; amount of work produced by a muscle in a given amount of time?
Power
What is the ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, or sustained activities over prolonged period of time?
Endurance
How do you strength train?
Lifting, lowering, or controlling heavy loads for relatively low repetitions (hypertrophy)
What is a necessary foundation for developing muscle power?
Muscle Strength
How can power be enhanced?
- increasing the work a muscle must perform during a specified period of time
- reducing the amount of time required to produce a given force
How do you power train?
Explosive movements; involve strength and speed; muscle strength is necessary for developing power
T/F Muscle endurance training and cardiopulmonary endurance training are the same.
False, muscle to contract repeatedly against resistance, generate, and sustain tension and resist fatigue over time
What muscle groups do you feel need muscular endurance the most throughout the day?
Balance and posture muscles
What are the key parameters for endurance training in regard to intensity, reps, time?
low intensity muscle contractions, large number of repetitions (20+), and/or a prolonged period of time
How does the body adapt when muscle endurance training?
adapts by increasing oxidative and metabolic capabilities, improving the oxygen delivery
Patients who have severely impaired muscle performance (deconditioned, immobilized, etc.), have greater impact in the early stages from what type of muscle training?
endurance training has greater impact on improvement of function than strength training in the early stages of rehab
Beginning at age 30, muscle mass declines how many % per year on average?
1% decline per year on average
On average, what % of body muscle do you lose a day on bed rest?
1%
Which type of muscle fibers atrophies faster?
Type I muscle fibers atrophy faster than type II
Which muscle groups will atrophy faster compared to others when immobilized or on bed rest?
antigravity
T/F Recommend early initiation of endurance training following injury or surgery
True
T/F Hypertrophy of muscle mass increases fiber size and number
False, Increase in muscle mass: occurs by increasing fiber size not number
With hypertrophy of muscle mass you will see what effect on:
Cross sectional area of muscle?
Increases cross sectional area provides that muscle with greater ability to produce force
With hypertrophy of muscle mass you will see what effect on:
Changes to fast twitch (T2) vs slow twitch (T1)?
Fast twitch (type 2) fibers show greater hypertrophy than slow twitch (type 1)
With hypertrophy of muscle mass you will see what effect on:
Changes to capillary bed and mitochondrial density?
- Decrease or no change in capillary bed density
- Decrease or no change in mitochondrial density and volume
How long does it take to see hypertrophy of muscle mass?
8 weeks
What muscular adaptations to endurance training? (fiber size, capillary, mitochondrial)
- Minimal or no muscle fiber hypertrophy
- Increase capillary bed density
- Increase in mitochondrial density and volume (increase number and size)
What are the neural system adaptations to strength training?
i. Increased number of motor units firing
ii. Increased rate of firing
iii. Increased synchronization of firing
What are the neural system adaptations to endurance training?
No changes
T/F 3-4 weeks of strength training you will not see true hypertrophy, instead body is getting more efficient at firing muscles you have
True
