Section 2 Study Flashcards
Describe Low Frequency Fatigue
- Example of central fatigue
- Lasts several hours to days
- Can be due to excessive Ca or Free Radical exposure during ECC
- Can be due to myofilament damage within the muscle
“The ability to perform repeated, high-intensity contractions or to sustain a single, high-intensity contraction for a long period of time”
Muscular Endurance
“Entire body’s ability to perform prolonged, large muscle dynamic exercise at a moderately high-intensity”
Aerobic Power
“The maximum force that can be generated from a muscle in a single effort”
Muscular Strength
“The amount of mechanical work performed using primarily and ATP yield derived from anaerobic energy systems (i.e. immediate and glycolytic systems)”
Anaerobic Power
“The girth (or increasing girth) of a muscle”
Muscular Hypertrophy
“The rate of work performed by a muscle”
Muscular Power
How do you measure Muscular Strength?
1 Rep Maximum (1-RM)
How do you measure Muscular Endurance?
Timed or Maximal Rep Tests
Give an example of an athlete with high Muscular Endurance
Rock Climber
How do you measure Muscular Power and give an example of an exercise that exhibits Muscular Power
Isokinetic Dynamometers, Clean and Jerk
How do you measure Muscular Hypertrophy?
Measuring tapes, lean body mass estimates, muscle biopsies
How do you measure Aerobic Power?
VO2max
How do you measure Anaerobic Power?
Wingate
What is Anaerobic Capacity?
The maximum amount of ATP production from anaerobic energy systems
“The ability to move joints throughout their full range of motion”
Flexibility
How do you measure Flexibility
Goniometry
What do you use Maximal Accumulated Oxygen Deficit (MAOD) tests for?
Anaerobic Power
What would you expect to observe for insulin during exercise?
- Decreased secretion
- Improved Efficiency
- Stimulates Glucose uptake into the muscles
List the Principles of Exercise Training
- Progressive Overload
- Specificity
- Individuality
- Reversibility
- FITT
- Hard/Easy
Progressive Overload
Placing increased amounts of stress on the body to elicit adaptations that improve fitness
General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)
In response to a stressor, the body responds in three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
Specificity
The body will adapt to a particular type and amount of stress (for example - stretching will not improve VO2max, but will improve flexibility)
Individuality
Some people show improvements in response to particular forms of exercise (responders) while some people do not (non-responders)
Reversability
Fitness adaptations are lost when exercise demands are lowered
FITT
F: Frequency of exercise sessions
I: Intensity of session
T: Time - duration or volume of session
T: Type of exercise performed
Hard/Easy Principle
“Hard” exercise stresses your body; “easy” exercise facilitates recovery
What type of “load” is Aerobic Training considered
Volume Load
General Training Recommendations for Aerobic Training
F: 3 or more sessions per week
I: At 60% VO2max or 60-80% HR
T: 20 min or longer per session
T: Any mode of exercise that permits the above recommendation
Neuromuscular Recruitment for Aerobic Training
- Improved motor unit syncing
- Co-activation of muscles
- Reciprocal inhibition
Muscle Fiber Changes for Aerobic Training
- Many Type IIx –> Type IIa (Type IIx start to look like Type IIa)
- Increased size and function of Type I and Type IIa
- Increased myoglobin
- Increased mitochondria
Metabolism Changes for Aerobic Training
- Increased VO2max (=increased aerobic power)
- Increased Lactate Threshold
- Decreased resting and submax RER
If RER is above .9 what fuel source is being used?
Carbs
If RER is .89 or below, what fuel source is being used?
Fats
Circulation Changes of Aerobic Training
- Increased capillary density
- Greater dilation of capillaries
- Increased blood volume
- Decreased resting and submax SBP/DBP
Cardiac Function Changes for Aerobic Training
- Improved HR recovery
- Decreased resting and submax HR
- Max HR unaffected
- Increased resting, submax, and max SV
- Unaffected resting and submax Q
- Increased max Q
Respiratory Changes for Aerobic Training
- Decreased submax Ve
- Increased max Ve
Exercise Performance Changes for Aerobic Training
- Increased aerobic power (VO2max)
- Improved submaximal endurance capacity
- Decreased metabolic cost for submaximal
