Training adaptations Part 2 Flashcards
why resistance train ?
weightlifting and poet raining
body building -aesthetic goals
health and fitnes
Rehabilitation
sport performance maximization
reduction of injury
health and fitness considerations
(of resistance training)
World Health Organization
- musculoskeletal disorders are most frequent causes of physical disability in both developed and developing countries
-low back injury is the primary cause of workplace disability. They primary cause of low back injury is
-grip strength is a predictor of old age disability
training muscles to become stronger
definitions
contraction types
training principles
strength training systems
strength definition
slitty of a muscle or group of muscles to produce maximum force (linear measurement) or torque (angular measurement) at a specific velocity
power definition
the amount of force generate as a function of velocity
endurance definition
the ability of muscle to produce force over a period of time
types of training: isotonic
constance force (tension)
- often used to describe classic resistance trainmen
more accurate = dynamic constant external resistance (DCRE)
types of training: isokinetic
constant velocity
maximum force (or any percentage of max effort) generates throughout the full range of motion (ROM) at a pre-established velocity of limb movement
concentric action
muscle shortens
internal force > external force
eccentric action
muscle lengthens
internal force < external force
isometric action
no net change in muscle length
internal force = external force
training design
how would the resistance training program of a mogul skier differ from a medium-distance swimmer with regards to:
1. upper vs. lower body
2. types of contractions (etc, is, con)
More lower body for skier (neither neglect the other) more upper body for swimmer
Skier more eccentric contractions happening would want to train a lot of eccentric
principal of specificity
trainman principles
specificity (SAID)
specific adaptation to imposed demands
strength and endurance gains are specific not only to involved muscles, but also speed of contractions, energy source, contraction type ect.
how would EMG change after 8 weeks of strength training
when it is measured lifting a weight which was the same as the max you could lift before training
It is lower, less motor units will need to be activated
Lifting the same weight, with a stronger muscle
decreased
how would EMG change after 8 weeks of strength training
when it is measured during max lifting performance (which is higher than before training)
It is the same or higher than before training, could be activating more motor units than before training
increase or stay the same
one goal during strength training is to maximize # of ________ so that more muslce fibers get trained
motor units recruited
if one trained with a constant resistance, that resistance may be difficult to lift for the first couple of weeks and motor unit recruitment would be ___
high
as one gets used to this resistance (after a couple of weeks) the exercise feels easier and you would require _______ motor unit recruitment
less
if you want to maximize your training adaptations, what is wrong with this situation? how could you alleviate this
progressive overload (need to increase the load)
training principles
progressive overload
3 factors
increase load
increase speed of contraction
increase load and speed
promotion of strength and endurance gains require loads greater than normal for the client
progressive overload continued
as strength increases, load must increase (3-4 weeks)
60% of max to stimulate development of strength
80-100% for more rapid gains in strength
if you applied this technique to resistance training in order to ensure training of all your muscle fibres, what training principle would you be practicing?
variety
training principles
variety
some part of your resistance training program should be changed every 2-2-3 weeks
to get optimal recruitment (and training) of muscle, your exercises must be changed frequently
-probably the most under-utilized principle
how to introduce variety
variety can be introduced in resistance training by changing
grip
positioning
exercises
speed of contraction
repetitions or load
training principles
stress rest
period of rest and proper nutrition are necessary following stress (training session) for recovery and adaptation
inadequate rest results in plateaus or declines (overuse)
can do split programming or alternate muscles groups worked
-for each individual muscle
-aerobic training 18-24 hours
training principles
symmetry
development of a balanced body
symmetry of muscle development around joints (above and below, agonist/antagonist)
prior to training already have force development difference (pennate vs. fusiform
at least 1 exercise per major muscle group
posture and alignment
training principles
contraction-control principle
-need to demonstrate control of the load
-use of muscular contraction, not momentum
-results in injury reduction and movement through full ROM (proprioceptor activity)
-manipulated to meet demands of the sport/activity
training principle
ceiling principle
gains become smaller as fitness levels reach genetic potential
40% improvement untrained
20% moderately trained
15% trained
10% advanced
2% elite
detraining
sometimes referred to as the use it or lose it principle
loss in strength may be seen after 1 to 2 weeks
- signifiant attribution to decreased neural drive with disuse
training as few as 1 to 2 times per week adequate to maintain strength training gains
