Week 12

Question 1

Whole body vibration training

Answer 1

“Performing exercises while standing on a vibrating platform”
-Vibrations stimulate stretch reflex, requires muscle activation fo stabilization
-Evidence: Increased % change in strength from resistance training in postmenopausal women
-Less clear in young/athletic populations

Question 2

Body contouring vibration

Answer 2

“Applying localized vibration to activate muscles & disrupt fat”
-Vibration on muscle results in reflexive muscle activation
-Does not burn fat, unlikely to stimulate muscle growth

Question 3

Ozempic

Answer 3

Appetite suppressant, regulates insulin levels
-Effective for weight loss in overweight/obese individuals, but weight regain will likely occur when drug is discontinued

Question 4

Training to failure

Answer 4

Thought to elicit greater muscle activation
-Effective for hypertrophy rep ranges

Question 5

Partial rep training

Answer 5

Effective for hypertrophy when performing long length partials
-Strength and power still favours full ROM
