Chapter 13- Resistance Training Concepts

Question 1

SAID Principle (Acronym)

Answer 1

Specific
Adaptation to
Imposed
Demands

Question 2

Principle of Specificity

Answer 2

The body will get better at what it is repeated asked to do

Question 3

The General Adaptation Syndrome

Answer 3

• Alarm reaction
• Resistance development
• Exhaustion

Question 4

(Stage) Alarm reaction - (Reaction)

Answer 4

Initial reaction to stressors such as increased oxygen and blood supply to the necessary areas of the body

ex. working-out for the first time

Question 5

(Stage) Resistance development - (Reaction)

Answer 5

Increased functional capacity to adapt to stressor such as increasing motor unit recruitment

ex. body accostumes to stimulus

Question 6

(Stage) Exhaustion - (Reaction)

Answer 6

A prolonged intolerable stressor produces fatigue and leads to a breakdown in the system or injury.

ex. stress fractures, muscle strains

Question 7

What are the SAID types?

Answer 7

• Mechanical Specificity
• Neuromuscular Specificity
• Metabolic Specificity

Question 8

Mechanical Specificity

Answer 8

Refers to the weight & movement placed on the body

ex. stronger legs= lunges with heavy weights

Question 9

Neuromuscular Specificity

Answer 9

Refers to the speed of contraction & exercise selection

Question 10

Metabolic Specificity

Answer 10

Refers to the energy demand placed on the body

ex. endurance development

Question 11

Progressive Adaptation from Resistance Training

Answer 11

• Stabilization
• Muscular Endurance
• Muscular Hypertrophy
• Strength
• Power

Question 12

Stabilization

Answer 12

Get the client stabilized & fire the right muscles in the right amount of force

Question 13

Muscular Endurance

Answer 13

To produce force for extended period of time. high reps & low to moderate resistance.

Question 14

Muscular Hypertrophy

Answer 14

Increase the size of muscle fibers.

ex. big biceps= moderate to heavy resistance for intermediate ranges

Question 15

Strength

Answer 15

Muscle size is not the primary change although it may occur secondary. The goal is to move most weight in one rep 6x= bench press heavy

Question 16

Power

Answer 16

Most amount of force in the least amount of time & it addresses the neuromuscular system.

ex. tuck jump

Question 17

Stabilization Exercises

Answer 17

• Ball squat, curl to press
• Ball dumbbell chest press
• Standing cable row
• Single leg dumbbell curl
• Ball squat

Question 18

Strength Exercises

Answer 18

• Squat curl to 2 arm press
• Barbell bench press
• Seated cable row
• Seated dumbbell shoulder press

Question 19

Power Exercises

Answer 19

• Barbell clean

- Two arm medicine ball chest press
