Q

How come the muscle fibre type being recruited strengthen a muscular contraction?

A

Fast glyptic muscle fibres exert greater force with a faster speed of contraction than other fibre types.

Units consisting of FG fires are large and have large motor neurons SO motor units which sends faster impulses.

Q

How can the cross-sectional area of the muscle affect the strength of the contraction?

A

The larger cross-sectional area of the muscle, the greater the strength or force of contraction.

Age, gender and training all affect the cross-sectional size of the muscle.

Q

What is necessary for evaluating strength training programs?

A

To evaluate a strength training program it is necessary to conduct appropriate testing to establish a baseline that are arranged of standardised test to measure the different types of strength.

16
Q

What are the two tests for strength endurance?

A

The abdominal curl test and the press up test

17
Q

What is the abdominal curl test?

A

Involves performing situps in time with a bleep. The test is progressive and the performer continues until failure. The school is based on the time/cumulative sit ups completed.

18
Q

What is the press up test?

A

The performer complete as many press ups as possible hands shoulder with apart maintaining good form. The test score is the total number completed.

19
Q

What are the two tests for maximal strength?

A

Repetition maximum.
Grip strength dynamometer

20
Q

What is the repetition maximum?

A

To perform a select a piece of gem equipment or free weight exercise to test the strength of a specific muscle group. The score is the highest weight that the performer can lift once.

21
Q

What is the grip strength dynamometer?

A

The performer takes three terms with each hand and records. The best score shown on the dial. It should be dialled back to zero after each attempt.

22
Q

What is the test for elastic strength?

A

Vertical jump test

23
Q

What is the vertical jump test?

A

The performer marks their maximum standing breach height with one arm, then performs a standing vertical jump mark their highest jump reached the score is the difference between the two marks.

24
Q

What are the general advantages of strength tests?

A

Equipment is available and affordable
Standardised tables are available
Specific muscle groups can be isolated
Procedure gives valid and reliable results

25
Q

What are the possible disadvantages of strength testing?

A

Equipment is expensive.
Specific muscle groups cannot be isolated
Procedure or technique required may be open to interpretation which gives invalid and unreliable result and also a risk of injury.

26
Q

What are the physiological adaptions of strength training?

A

Muscle and connective tissues increase muscular hypertrophy muscle hyperplasia size of micro fibre and strength of ligaments and tendons.

Neural recruitment of multi units containing glycolic and oxidative glycolic fibres force of contraction at the agonist muscle.

Metabolic aerobics fuel stores increase anaerobic activity increases, buffering capacity, tolerance and removal of lactic acid using sodium bicarbonate.

27
Q

What are the five factors affecting strength?

A

Cross-sectional area
Gender
Age
Training/lifestyle
Genetics

28
Q

What is meant by cross-sectional area?

A

AO1: the greater the cross-sectional area the Great to the strength
AO2: both marathon runners unheard need to avoid weight gain but have heavy muscles to excel.

29
Q

What is meant by gender?

A

AO1: Males generally have a higher muscle mass because of their higher testosterone level.
AO2: both events are split by gender so less of an impact some marathons have women competing alongside men.

30
Q

What is meant by age?

A

AO1:Peak strength is between 20 to 30 years females is between 16 to 25 years and males is between 18 to 30 years.
AO2: decline and strength due to less efficient neuromuscular system reduced muscle mass and elasticity

31
Q

What is meant by training and lifestyle?

A

AO1: How much exercise and movement occurs in ones life.
AO2: toddlers will place great focus on high explosive strength, power and speed. Most of hurtless train will focus on this marathon runners will need strength endurance training focus will be on aerobic capacity.

32
Q

What is meant by genetics?

A

AO1: influence of parents on percentages of each fibre type and hormone level.
AO2: athletes with high percentage of FT fires achieve early success in sprinting and can be motivated to pursue this activity.
