Resistance Training Program Design - Parts 1, 2 & 3 Flashcards
“inability to perform another repetition with proper technique”
failure
6 steps to setting up an RT program?
- determine goals and starting level
- determine training FITT
- determine muscles to be trained, exercise selection, sequence, ect
- incorporate training principles
- complete a workout card
- set up a date to review the program
4 RT goal options to consider when designing a program?
strength, hypertrophy, endurance, power
What does ACSM & CSEP suggest for frequency for beginner, intermediate, and advanced?
beginner: 2-3x/wk on non-consecutive days (but no more than 3 rest days)
intermediate: 3-4x/wk
advanced: 4-6/7x/wk
In what three situations might you require more recuperation?
- max or near max resistances are used
- more focus on eccentric loading
- more focus on muscle groups & exercises that take longer to recover
“method to organize training over the week where 1 or multiple body parts are worked on different days until the entire body has accumulated a workout”
split routines
With regards to intensity, how should novices begin?
begin with anatomical adaptation/endurance phase focusing on proper technique before moving to higher intensity strength and hypertrophy phases
intensity is normally expressed as.?
% of 1RM
According to NSCA:
- 100%1RM = __ reps
- 90%1RM = __ reps
- 80%1RM = __ reps
- 70%1RM = __ reps
- 65%1RM = __ reps
1 4 8 12 15
Repetition/%1RM/sets:
Endurance =
Hypertrophy =
Strength =
> 12 @ < 70% 1RM for 2-3 sets
6-12 @ 70-85% 1RM for 3-6 sets
< 6 @ > 85% 1RM for 2-6 sets
in resistance-trained individuals, ____-set programs have been shown to be superior for strength enhancement
multiple
How should you decide the optimal # of sets to perform within a workout?
work backwards from the # of sets/workout to # sets/muscle
eg. if performing 20-25 sets/workout and working out 4 muscle groups/workout then that is approx 6 sets/muscle group
Rest between sets significantly affects the ___, ___, and ____ responses to an acute bout during resistance exercise
metabolic, hormonal, CV
Rest between sets:
Endurance -
Hypertrophy -
Strength -
30-60 sec
30-90 sec
2-5 min
Heavy loads require long rest periods because it stresses the _____ system. Repletion of this system usually occurs within - minutes
ATP-PC ; 3-5 minutes
Why is it important not to rest too long during hypertrophy work?
stimulus may dissipate (blood may not accumulate) - short rest supports an anabolic environment
general strength & hypertrophy are supported primarily by ___ and ___ systems
glycolysis and ATP-PC
in general strength & hypertrophy, a 1-2 minute rest interval is important for what?
blood accumulation, exercise induced metabolic acidosis (important for hormones responsible for protein synthesis)
light load and short rest important for endurance work because of a higher contribution from…?
higher contribution from aerobic metabolism
Endurance training - decreased time between sets increases ___ and _____ number, increases ___ type transitions (what type), and improves ability to buffer ___ ___
mitochondrial and capillary; fibre (IIb to IIa); muscle acidity
volume vs volume load?
Volume = reps x sets for each exercise
Volume Load = reps x sets x load for each exercise
3 ways volume can be altered?
exercises performed each session, # reps for each set, # sets for each exercise
Alteration of volume can be done through the use of program ______
periodization
“when the athlete can perform 2 or more reps than the rep goal in the last set in 2 consecutive training sessions”
2-for-2 rule
Guidelines to work within when increasing intensity of load for beginners and intermediate/advanced?
beginner: 1-5%
int/adv: 2.5-10%
some pros/cons to free weights?
CONS: require good technique, cant use as much weight
PROS: recruit assistive and stabilizing muscles, help with coordination and overcoming non-dominant limb strength, more functional
some pros and cons to machines?
CONS: restricts movement pattern, body position and ROM; harder to determine muscle imbalances; may not fit all subjects; not as functional
PROS: safer for beginners, can isolate muscle groups, assistive stabilizing, can use more weight
are squats a balanced lower body exercise?
nope! much more quad and glute dominant so you wanna balance it with some hamstring exercises as well
In a squat, the hip flexors are ___ and the glute max is ____
passive; active
“bringing bellybutton in - good to use this for plank because it pulls up against gravity”
hollowing
