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)

A

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

Q

examples of overload trainmen systems:
(optimizing motor unit recruitment)

A

progressive or forced resistance training
eccentrics
isometrics

30
Q

resistance training basics
progressive resistance exercise (PRE) recommendations

A

-use 3-RM to 12-RM
- 1 set is effective if 10-RM is used
produce most of the health benefits
increased compliance
2-3 days per week is most effective

large muscle before small muscles
multi joint before single joint exercises

31
Q

weight lifting “to exhaustion”

A

it is recommended that you preform your weight lifting sets to exhaustion (until you fail) because that will allow greater motor unit recruitment

32
Q

what muscle units (and therefor fibres) will you recruit first?

A

type I units

33
Q

what muscle units (and therefor fibres) will fatigue first?

A

type II fast twitch

34
Q

isometric exercise limitations

A

strengthens muscle at a specific point in ROM
can become very time consuming
poor application for function sports training

35
Q

isometric exercise benefits

A

useful for testing
aids in development of core stability
helpful in rehabilitation
helpful in overcoming “sticking points”

36
Q

plyometric training

A

uses explosive movement to mobilize the stretch-recoil properties of muscle
ballistic resistance training (concentric contractions)
proceeded by a rapid eccentric contraction or stretch are more forceful than those that are not
1. stretch reflex
2. elastics rebound of muscle

37
Q

plyometric training allows athletes to

A

-activate stretch reflex
-better coordinate transfer of elastic energy
-develop greater power at end of movement
-accelerate through complete ROM
stimulates sports performance more closely then regular lifting
-inhibits Golgi tendon reflex (dishibition

38
Q

how could you use plyometric training to improve vertical jump performance (i.e. how could you alter the plyometric training to increase activation of muscle spindles?

A

by using a box and elevating
using resistance bands

39
Q

eccentrics advantages

A

high tension produced; therefor, more hypertrophy with training
eccentric contraction are important in many sports
build power (force x speed)

40
Q

muscle soreness and stiffness
-delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

A

eccentric actions produce muscle soreness
-24-48 hr post exercise
-due to damaged tissue
-inflammation
-*lactic acid does not cause DOMS
cell damage
-altered sarcomere alignment/sarcoplasmic reticulum

more produced in beginners, DOMS improves with each exercise bout

41
Q

DOMS model: six phases in DOMS development and subsequent recuperation

A
  1. unaccustomed exercise using eccentric muscle actions (downhill running, slowing lower weights)
  2. high muscle forces damage sarcolemma causing release of cystolic enzymes and myoglobin
  3. damage to muscle contractile myofibrils and non contractile structures
  4. metaboltes accumulate to abnormal levels in the muscle cell to produce more cell damage and reduced force capacity
  5. delayed onset muscle soreness considered to result from inflammation, tenderness, pain
  6. the inflammation process begins; the muscle cell heals; the adaptive process males the msucel more resistant to damage from subsequent exercise
42
Q

can anything help? (in regards to DOMS)

A

previous flexibility training and subsequent muscle elongation prior to eccentric training results in decreased

43
Q

repeated bout effect

A

1 bout of eccentric exercise protects you from soreness on a 2nd bout (this is called “the repeated bout effect)

alteration in neural recruitment of muscle fibers (more type I recruitment on the 2nd bout)

sarcomeres might become stiffer after the first bout of eccentric use

weak sarcomeres are damaged during the first bout of eccentric exercise and replaced by stronger sarcomeres

44
Q

external rhabdomyolysis
-Someone who hasn’t not worked out, works out hard they will get this

A

muscle proteins appear in the blood
kidneys could be damaged
urine appears dark in colour

45
Q

combining strength and endurance training
-strength resistance training plus aerobic training equals less strength improvement

A

strength resistance training may also hinder performance
-incoperating a break between workouts may alleviate some of the problem
-more research is needed
-health benefits of both types of training may be obtained by training for both strength and endurance

alteration in training protocol throughout the year

periods of high volume, high overload training are altered with period of lower volume training
-prevents overtraining
-allows for peaking for competition

51
Q

periodization def:

A

a variation of training intensity and volume (total work) to ensure peak performance is achieved in correspondence to competition

52
Q

periodization (cyclical) ex

A

macrocycle - 1 year
mesocycle- 3 months
microcycle- 1 week

53
Q

mesocycles
preparation phase

A

high volume, low intensity
3-5 sets/ 8-12 reps at 50-80% 1RM

54
Q

mesocycle
first transition phase

A

mod. volume, mod intensity
3-5 sets 5-6 reps at 80-90% 1RM

55
Q

mesocycle
competition phase

A

low volume, high intensity
3-5 sets/ 2-4 reps at 90-95% 1RM

56
Q

mesocycle
Second transition phase (active recovery)

A

low intensity workouts incorporating various modes
*varies significantly dependent on philosophy c

57
Q

high

58
Q

periodization
tapering for peaking

A

reduction in training volume
1 to 2 weeks before competition
conversion fo Type IIa back to Iix
“overshoot in conversion” more type Iix than before

59
Q

taper for ENDURANCE athletes: hig intensity, low volume taper

A

-increased oxidative enzymes
-increased muscle glycogen
-increased running performance

60
Q

benefits regardless of age

A

both men and women respond to strength training regardless of age
elderly improve gait and stair climbing speed

61
Q

how much can we reverse?

A

-muscle aerobic capacity decreases with age
-mitochondria and capillaries can increase with training in older people up to levels that are equal to young active individuals

-submaximal aerobic performance of older trained individuals cna be similar to you ng untrained (10kn run time)

-older trained peoples maximal aerobic power may still be lower due to changes in ability to deliver blood and oxygen to the muscle (changes to heart and lungs)

62
Q

resistance training guidelines for middle age and older
benefits in health and disease

A

-focuses on benefits in health and disease
-single sets
-8 to 15 RM
-2day per week

63
Q

resistance training for children

A

still controversial
states concerned is epiphyseal fractures (growth plate injuries)
research has not supported this concern
if we are worried about growth plate injury, what form of exercise should we be more

64
Q

resistance training for children
should be:

A

-closely supervised
-focus on concentric contractions
-high reps, low resistance
-increase weight gradually (small increments)
-focus on technique
-emphasize spotting and safety
-avoid maximal lifts

65
Q

flexibility

A

the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion (rom)
active ROM is typically most important in sport

66
Q

passive stretching

A

stretch is achieved by an external force applied by yourself or partner

67
Q

active stretching

A

stretch is achieved by contraction of the antagonist (opposite) muscle group

68
Q

limits to flexibility

A
  1. joint structure (hinge vs. ball and socket joints
  2. muscle elasticity and length
  3. nervous system activity (muscle spindles, GTOs)
69
Q

when to use static stretching

A

cooldown
flexibility training (to improve active rom

70
Q

when to use dynamic

A

warmup
kicks

71
Q

static stretching
why do we hold stretches

A

fatiguing the spindles- then may be able to push the muscle further

72
Q

stretching and performance
30 min of static stretching impairs subsequent strength for up to 60 min

A

-decreased motor unit activation
-muscle spindle fatigue
-elongation of elastic component in muscle thereby reducing recoil forces

static stretching immediately preceding 100 m has been found too impair sprint performance
