Q

what happens to muscles during explosive strength

A

muscle stretches eccentrically to lengthen then concentrically contracts to add force to contraction

23
Q

measurement of strength endurance

A

NCF abdominal sit-up test

24
Q

explain NCF abdominal sit-up test (7)

A
  • forearms & hands in x position
  • knees 70-90 degrees
  • feet 5-8 cm apart
  • partner or object hold feed & ankles
  • performer sits up & lays back ti series of beeps - get faster as test goes on
  • stop when physically cannot continue or technique compromised
  • compare results to standardised table
25
Q

factors affecting strength (6)

A
  • muscle composition
  • gender
  • age
  • physical inactivity
  • strength training
  • angle of joint
26
Q

how does muscle composition affect strength (3)

A

greater the:
1) % fast twitch muscle fibres (FG & FOG)
2) cross sectional area of muscle (diameter)
3) muscle size

= greater potential force can be generated

27
Q

how does gender affect strength (2)

A
  • females have less muscle man than men
  • females have less testosterone (makes muscles bigger) than men
28
Q

how does age affect strength (4)

A
  • females peak strength age 18-25
  • males peak strength between 18-30
  • greatest gains for both sexes made between 20-10
  • testosterone decreases with age - as age increases strength decreases
29
Q

how does physical inactivity affect strength

A

atrophy occurs - muscles get smaller & weaker
(aka reversibility)

30
Q

how does strength training affect strength (2)

A
  • hypertrophy occurs
  • hyperplasia - muscle fibres splitting & repairing bigger & stronger
31
Q

how does angle of joint (weakest point in range of movement) affect strength (2)

A
  • extreme angle = weaker
  • more force & power required
32
