Chapter 17: Program Design for Resistance Training Flashcards
what are the 7 program design variables?
needs analysis
exercise selection
frequency
exercise order
load and repetitions
volume
rest periods
what three principles should be incorporated in resistance training programs for athletic populations?
specificity
overload
progression
athletes training in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome
specificity
how can specificity be incorporated into a resistance training program for athletes?
specific muscles, movement patters, muscle actions, and energy systems involved in the sport
what does the SAID principle stand for?
specific adaptation to imposed demands
principle that states the type of demand placed on the body dictates the type of adaptation that will occur
SAID principle
training at a greater intensity than the athlete is accustomed to
overload
what are some ways to overload?
increase loads or reps
add exercises
simple to complex
decrease rest periods
add variables
training program intensity becomes progressively greater to continue producing higher levels of performance
progression
two stage process that includes an evaluation of the requirements and characteristics of the sport and an assessment of the athlete
needs analysis
athletic programs should be periodized to move from _______ to _______
general to specific
what are the 4 variables of a physiological analysis?
strength
power
hypertrophy
muscular endurance
what two things does a needs analysis assess?
the athlete and their sport
current condition or level of preparedness of the athlete
training status
what is determined after the needs analysis is complete?
the athlete’s specific needs for their sport and the primary goal for their specific training program
how many training goals should an athlete focus on per season?
one
what are core exercises?
multijoint exercises that recruit large muscle group(s) and have direct application to the sport of the athlete
what are assistance exercises?
single joint exercises that recruit smaller muscle areas and are considered less important to improving sport performance
why are assistance exercises commonly used for injury prevention and rehab?
because they isolate a specific muscle or muscle group
exercises that load the spine directly or indirectly, requiring muscular stabilization of posture during performance of the lifting movement
structural exercises
a structural exercises that is performed very quickly or explosively
power exercise
true or false: muscle balance includes equal strength
false
what are recovery exercises?
exercises that do not place high stress on muscular and nervous systems in order to promote movement and restoration
number of training sessions completed in a given period of time
training frequency
what is the general recommendation for training frequency for athletes to allow sufficient recovery between sessions?
3x/week
what is the general recommendation for rest days between strength days?
0-2 rest days (no more than 3)
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete that has a beginner training status?
2-3
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete that has a intermediate training status?
3-4
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete that has a advanced training status?
4-7
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete during the off season?
4-6
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete during the pre season?
3-4
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete when in season?
1-3
how many sessions per week is recommended for an athlete during the post season?
0-3 (active rest)
max to near max loads will require _____ recovery times
longer
heavy upper body training may require _____ recovery than heavy lower body training
less
single joint exercise are _____ taxing than multi joint exercises
less
sequence of resistance exercises performed during one training session
exercise order
what is the most common exercise order?
power > core lifts > assistance lifts
what is circuit training?
performing the exercises with minimal rest periods
with exercise order, why do power lifts need to be performed first?
power lifts require the highest level of skill/concentration and most affected by fatigue
what are two ways to “alternate” exercise order?
upper body/lower body
push/pull
two exercises performed in an alternating fashion that stresses opposing muscles or muscle areas
superset
