Force
Push or pull for linear force or a twist for a rotating force
Strength
Amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
Power
The ability to exert force rapidly
Endurance
Ability of a muscle or group of muscles to remain contracted or to contracted repeatedly
7 Muscular Strength Adaptations
- Specificity
- Hypertrophy
- Hyperplasia
- Atrophy
- Sarcopenia
- Muscle Fiber Transformation
- Nervous System Adaptions
2 Endocrine Adaptations
- Testosterone
- Growth Hormone
5 Muscle Actions:
- Isometric
- Isotonic
- Isokinetic
- Concentric
- Eccentric
Isometric Contraction
No change in length
Isotonic Contraction
Dynamic with constant external resistance
Isokinetic
Dynamic with constant external load
-Force at a constant speed against equal force
6 Determinants of Strength:
- Neuromuscular Efficiency
- Biomechanical Factors
- Age and Sex
- Level of Physical Activity
- Overtraining
- Reversibility
6 Principles of Training
- Specificity
- Progressive Overload Principle
- Stress-Rest Principle
- Principle of Symmetry
- Contraction-Control Principle
- Ceiling Principle
6 Variables to be Manipulated:
- Sets
- Reps
- Load / Intensity
- Rest
- Tempo
- Exercise Selection / Order
Sets
Group of repetitions followed by a rest period
Repetitions
Eccentric and concentric, depends on training goal
Load / Intensity
Weight is heavy enough to fatigue muscle but light enough to complete reps in good form
