Chapter 4 Flashcards
What is strength?
Ability to generate force
“How much weight you can move”
What is power?
Relationship between strength and time
“How fast you can move heavy things”
What is endurance?
Repetitive muscle contractions
“How many times you can move something”
Isometric muscle contractions are:
Contractions of stability
No change in muscle length
Isokenetic muscle contraction is:
A contraction with a constant speed
Isotonic muscle contraction is:
Contraction with constant muscle tone, against resistance
Concentric and eccentric contraction
Slow twitch muscle fibers are what color?
Red
Fast twitch muscle fibers are what color?
White
Slow twitch muscle fibers are necessary for what kind of running?
Distance running
Fast twitch muscle fibers are necessary for what kind of running?
Sprinting
What is the overload principle?
The principle that muscles respond to stress which leads to hypertrophy
The overload principle can be modified by changing:
Weight
Reps
Intensity
Rest
Progressive resistance can include:
An increase in 10% increments
1 rep max
Training particular muscle group
What is the goal of periodization?
Achieving peak performance
What is a year-round training cycle?
Complete training cycle
Preseason, in-season, and off-season
Involves changes in intensity, volume, and specificity
