Strength and Conditioning Exam 2 Flashcards
4 Most Common Myths of Abdominal training
- abdominal training will give you a six pack
- localizing fat loss
- standing on one foot will work your abs
- you don’t need strong abs for sports
Why is the Core important
- transfer energy between upper and lower body
- link in kinetic chain
- posture/LBP/musc imbalance
What fiber type are abdominal/most core muscles
-Type 1 (short recov/limited hyp) -Multidirectional (many planes of motion -Muscle Activity (limited stabilizer fixate then contract)
Recommendations about abdominal training workout
- Vary movm (pination/direction)
- Vary intensity
- Focus on technique
- Recovery
- make it fun/interactive/challenging
7 program design variables of RT
- needs analysis
- ex selection
- training frequency
- exercise order
- training load and repetition
- volume
- rest periods
2 Steps of Needs analysis
1 Evaluation of Sport -movm analysis -psych analysis -injury analysis 2Evaluation of athlete -training status -phys testing and eval -primary RT goal
RT Status
Beginner 1year
What is core ex
- core of workout
- 1 or more large muscle areas
- 1 or more primary jt
- priority when selecting ex b/c of direct application to sport
what is assistance ex
- recruit smaller muscle areas
- 1 primary jt
- less important to improve sport performance
- always after core
what is structural exercise
-emphasize loading the spine directl/indirectly
what is power exercises
- structural ex that are performed quickly or explosively
ex. hang clean/ snatch
FV relationship to describe power ex
-moderate load not max can still move quickly
Principle of specificity, how can we use it for ex selection
-More sim training activity to actual sport movm the greater likelihood of positive transfer to sport
What is training frequency
- number of training sessions completed in a given time period
- RT 1 wk (microcycle)
How does training status influence optimal training frequency?
-# of rest days
-usually 3 rx allowing rest
Beginner 2-3 d/wk RT
Intermediate 3-4 d/wk RT
Advanced 4-7 d/wk RT
How does sport season influence training frequency
Offseason 4-6 d/wk RT
Preseason 3-4 d/wk RT
In season 1-3 d/wk RT
Post season 0-3 d/wk RT (active rest)
What is split training and what are common 3,4,5 day splits
diff muscle groups trained diff days
3- total body
4 divide in half
4+ split further
outside factors influencing optimal training frequency
- training load/ex type
- other training
What is optimal order for exercises
1 Power Exercises -snatch,hang clean push press 2 Other core Ex Total Body -squat, leg press, bench press, pull ups 3 Assistance Ex -leg curls, abduction, bicep curls
Alternating ex what/why/when
-upper/lower push/pull
why
more recovery between ex, possible antagonist inhibition
when
normal training, circuit training
4-5 min needed for complete metabolic recovery
Supersets
-2 subsequentially performed ex w/ 2 OPPOSING muscle areas
Compound sets
2 sequentially performed ex for Same musc areas
