Week 5- Resistance Training: The Basics Flashcards
What is the difference between strength, power, and endurance?
Strength
-The ability of contractile tissue to provide tension and a resultant force based on demand placed on the muscle
Power
-Related to the strength and speed of a movement; amount of work produced by a muscle in a given amount of time
Endurance
-Ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, or sustained activities over prolonged period of time
What is functional strength?
Ability of neuromuscular system to produce, reduce, or control forces during functional activities in a smooth coordinated manner.
Can you have functional strength without grade 5 MMT strength?
Yes
Strength training is lifting, lowering, or controlling _____ loads for relatively ____ repetitions. This
results in increased force-producing capacity of muscle as result of neural adaptations and increase in muscle fiber size.
- heavy
- low
What are the 2 ways power can be enhanced?
- Increasing the work a muscle must perform during a specified period of time.
- Reducing the amount of time required to produce a given force.
What are some day to day activities that require power?
- Leaving a chair
- Going up stairs
Is muscle endurance the same as cardiopulmonary endurance?
No
What muscle groups need muscular endurance the most throughout the day?
Postural muscles
Key parameters for muscle endurance training?
- Low intensity muscle contractions
- Large number of repititions (20+) and/or
- Prolonged period of time
Does endurance or strength training have a greater impact on improvement in patients with severely impaired muscle performance in the early stages of rehab?
Endurance
Why Do We Need Resistance Training:
- Muscle mass diminishes with age, beginning at age __. There is an average __% decline per year.
- Injured muscles that are immobilized have an average __% decline per day on bed rest. Type __ muscle fibers atrophy faster.
- There is a much faster rate of atrophy in ________ muscles compared to other muscles when immobilized on bed rest. Why?
- 30, 1%
- 1%, I
- antigravity, They are usually in constant demand.
It is recommended to initiate ______ training early following an injury or surgery.
Endurance
What are the 5 physiological adaptations to strength training?
- Skeletal Muscle Structure
- Neural System
- Metabolic System
- Body Composition
- Connective Tissue
Hypertrophy occurs by increasing fiber ____ NOT _____.
size not number
Do fast twitch (Type II) fibers or slow twitch (Type I) show greater hypertrophy?
-Type II
As opposed to strength training, endurance training has minimal or no muscle fiber _________. It also ______ capillary bed density, and ________ in mitochondrial density and volume.
- hypertrophy
- increase
- increase
- What are the neural system adaptations that occur during strength training?
- -What are the neural system adaptations that occur during endurance training?
- Increase number of motor units, increased rate of firing, increased synchronization of firing
- No changes
What is the initial rapid gain in strength attributed to in resistance training?
Neural responses and coordination
Metabolic and Enzymatic Adaptations With Strength and Endurance Training:
- Increase in ____ and ___ storage
- Increase in __________ storage
- Increase in phospho-creatine kinase
- Increase in myokinase
- ATP and PC
- myoglobin
____ _______ training improves bone mineral density and can take up to __-__ months for detectable and significant increases in bone mineral density.
- body weight
- 9-12 months
Body composition adaptations to strength training and endurance training?
- Strength training decreases body fat % and increases lean (fat-free) body mass
- Endurance training just decreases body fat %
Strength and endurance training both increase tensile strength of _____, ______, and CT in muscle.
ligaments, tendons
What is the overload principle?
Increasing the intensity, duration, type, or time of a workout progressively in order to see adaptations
What does the SAID principle stand for? What is it?
- Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands
- Body will adapt to the stress we are placing on it so we should replicate what they need to get back to (You get what you train for).
