Wk 3 - Measures of Fitness & Fatigue Flashcards
What model is centred on the progressive stages experienced by the physiological
system following a stimulus (or homeostatic imbalance)
The general adaptation syndrome model
In the general adaptation syndrome model, phase 1 is…
Initial response to stress
In the general adaptation syndrome model, phase 2 is….
Resistance (adaptation)
In the general adaptation syndrome model, phase 3 is…
Supercompensation (more adaptation)
In the general adaptation syndrome model, phase 4 is…
Overtraining (maladaptation) - decreased performance
The fitness-fatigue model is the relationship between fitness and fatigue and is a continuum that depends on what 5 factors?
1) cumulative effect of the training load
2) Cumulative level of neuromuscular and mental fatigue
3) Level of deficit
4) Length of time fatigue has accumulated
5) severity of symptoms
Neuromuscular fatigue is broken down into…
1) central fatigue
2) neuromuscular fatigue
Central fatigue refers to…
How well the brain is able to send stimulus to the muscle to cause contractions (spine upwards only)
Peripheral fatigue refers to…
The ability of peripherally contracting muscle is limited due to muscle damage (DOMS)
The fatigue continuum includes (4)….
1) acute fatigue
2) functional overreaching
3) nonfunctional overreaching
4) overtraining
______ is an interaction that will change the motion of an object (often measured as muscular strength)
Force
______ is the rate at which mechanical work is accomplished
Power (often calculated as force x velocity)
Isokinetic means
same speed
what measures the change in distance/tension over time to measure velocity, etc
Linear position transducers
The difference between the true response and the observed response is the ______
error
