WEEK 6 - resistance exercise prescription Flashcards
“strength strongly related to health” is defined but what term ?
muscle function
what are the four training outcomes (our clients gals will generally be entered around the following :)?
- health
- fitness
- performance
- aesthetics
define “health” :
e.g. : increase energy, vigour, mental health, manage or prevent chronic disease
define “fitness” :
eg. : improve feelings of strength, endurance, keeping up with kids/grandkids
define “performance” :
eg : athletic competition, occupation
define “aesthetics” :
eg. build muscle and decrease body fat
what does muscle growth stimuli responds in response to ?
overload
what additional three ways do muscle growth stimuli :
- metabolite accumulation
- mechanical forces
- immune signalizing (inflammation)
define metabolite accumulation ?
the saturation of metabolic by-products in the muscles which hamper the muscle’s ability to perform, eventually leading to fatigue
what is metabolic overload ?
is when the muscles cannot keep up with the rate of energy consumption
what is mechanical forces ?
enhanced protein synthesis and fiber hypertrophy are elicited in skeletal muscle, whereas a lack of mechanical stimuli due to inactivity/mechanical unloading leads to reduced muscle protein synthesis and fiber atrophy
what is immune signalling (inflammation) :
triggered when innate immune cells detect infection or tissue injury
what does “FITT” stand for ?
frequency, intensity, type and time
what is volume ?
combination of load, reps sets, and internet rests
what is repetition range ?
number of repetitions to reach failure
what is intensity (%-1RM) for strength ?
80 - 100
what is intensity (%-1RM) for endurance ?
50 - 75
what is intensity (%-1RM) for hypertrophy ?
70 - 85
