28
Q

factors that affect strength

A
neural stimulation
type of muscle fiber
overload
specificity of training
training volume
periodization
29
Q

neural stimulation

A

number of nerve fibers innervated and frequency of stimulation determine strength of the muscle contraction

30
Q

short term gains

A

usually gains in first 2-3 weeks are due to enhanced neural function by increasing motor neuron stimulation and muscle fiber recruitment

31
Q

longer term gains

A

primarily related to physiological adaptation within the muscle and to a lesser extent neural adaptations

32
Q

type of muscle fiber

A

slow-twitch fibers
fast-twitch fibers
mix is genetically determined

33
Q

Fiber activation

A

slow twitch fibers are always recruited first

to activate fast twitch fibers, an activity must be intense and powerful

34
Q

overload principle

A

training concept that the demands placed on a system must be increased systematically and progressively over time to cause physiological adaptations

35
Q

strength gains achieved in two ways

A
  • increased ability of individual muscle fibers to generate a stronger contraction
  • recruiting a greater proportion of the total available fibers for each contraction
36
Q

procedures used to overload in strength training

A
  • increase intensity (weight/resistance)
  • increase number of reps
  • increase or decrease speed of reps
  • decrease the rest interval for endurance improvements (lighter resistances) or lengthening rest interval for strength and power development (higher resistances)
  • increasing volume
  • combination of the above
37
Q

specificity of training

A

principle that training must be done with the specific muscle(s) the person is attempting to improve

38
Q

specific adaptation to imposed demand training

A

SAID training -training principle stating that for specific improvements to occur in a specific activity, the exercises performed during a strength-training program should resemble as closely as possible the movement patterns encountered in that activity

39
Q

volume

A

in strength training - the sum of all repetitions performed multiplied by resistances used during strength training session

40
Q

Volume changes used to

A

hypertrophy - high volume, low intensity

increase strength/power- low volume, high intensity

41
Q

periodization

A

training approach that divides the season into three cycles using systemic variation in intensity and volume of training to enhance fitness and performance

42
Q

training cycles

A

macrocycles
mesocycles
microcycles

43
Q

periodization cycles

A

hypertrophy
strength
endurance

44
Q

periodization used to prevent

A

overtraining

45
Q

overtraining

A

an emotional, behavioral and physical condition marked by an increased fatigue, decreased performance, persistent muscle soreness, mood disturbances and feelings of staleness or burnout as a result of excessive physical training

46
Q

classical periodization

A

used for max strength development

starts with high volume/low resistance and switches to low volume/high resistance

47
Q

reverse periodization

A

used for greater muscular endurance

starts with low volume/high resistance and switches to high volume/low resistance

48
Q

undulating periodization

A

alternates between muscular fitness components of strength, hypertrophy, power and endurance

49
Q

principles of strength training

A
mode
resistance
sets
frequency
volume
50
Q

training modes

A

isometric training

dynamic training

51
Q

isometric training

A

muscle contraction that produces little or no movement, pulling against an immovable object

  • gains specific to angle of muscle contraction
  • critical to low back spinal stabilization
52
Q

dynamic training

A

muscle contraction with movement

  • most common
  • strength gained through full range of motion
53
Q

dynamic training

consists of 2 actions

A
  • concentric or positive resistance

- eccentric or negative resistance

54
Q

Range of motion

A

entire arc of movement of a given joint

55
Q

concentric

A

shortening of a muscle during contraction

56
Q

positive resistance

A

the lifting, pushing, or concentric phase of a repetition during a strength-training exercise

57
Q

eccentric

A

lengthening of a muscle during muscle contraction

58
Q

negative resistance

A

the lowering or eccentric phase of a repetition during strength training

59
Q

free weights

A

barbells and dumbbells

60
Q

fixed resistance

A

constant resistance is moved through a joints full range of motion (dumbbells and machines with constant resistance

61
Q

variable resistance

A

special machines equipped that provide different amounts of resistance throughout the range of motion

62
Q

dynamic constant external resistance

A

DCER - Fixed resistance

63
Q

isokinetic training

A

speed of the muscle contraction is kept constant because the machine provides accommodating resistance to match the user’s force through the range of motion

64
Q

resistance

A

amount of weight lifted

65
Q

progressive resistance

A

a gradual increase in resistance over time

66
Q

circuit training

A

alternating exercises by performing them in a sequence of 3 to six or more

67
Q

plyometric exercise

A

explosive jump training, incorporating speed and strength training to enhance explosiveness

68
Q

core strength training

A

program designed to strengthen the abdominal, hip and spinal muscles (core of the body)

69
Q

pilates

A

uses exercises designed to help strengthen the body’s core by developing pelvic stability and abdominal control; exercises coupled with focused breathing patterns
