Recap lecture
Question - what are the adaptations you would expect to see in an there following a strength training programme?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Look in PE book
Three proposes primary are responsible for training adaptations:
(Adaptations to strength training)
Mechanical tension
Metabolic stress
Muscle damage
Mechanical tension in terms of causing training adaptations:
What is it?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Referee to the loading of muscle and is proposed to disrupt skeletal muscle structures -> compromising the integrity of individual muscle fibres -> leading to cellular responses
Metabolic stress in terms of causing training adaptations:
What is it?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Local metabolic stress involves the accumulation of metabolic by-products
Muscle damage in terms of causing training adaptations:
What is it?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Leads to hypertrophic responses whereby the inflammatory response and upregulaton of protein synthesis -> resulting in greater muscle size
What neural adaptations occur in the first 8-20 wks of strength training?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Learn movement (motor learning) / neuromuscular inhibition
Motor unit recruitment
Firing rate
Coordination of motor unit
What did Ebola (1988) say about strength gains
Adaptations to strength training
Can be achieved without structural changes in the muscle but not without neural adaptations
In terms of Learning Movement (motor learning) / Neuromuscular Inhibition (neural adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Increases activation of individual muscles
The coordination of groups of muscles
In terms of Motor Unit Recruitment (neural adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Increases motor unit recruitment
Preferential recruitment of high threshold motor units
Lowering thresholds of motor unit recruitment
Above factors increase agonist activation and tension development
In terms of firing frequency (neural adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Discharge frequency of motor neurons
Greater force / power production
Increase in number of doublet discharges
Increased recruitment and firing rate following training
In terms of synchronisation (neural adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Enables smooth movement
Can synchronously activate multiple motor units
Increased force production (caused by co-activation of a range of muscles)
Simplify and co-ordinate complex movements
When is strength expression typically at its greatest?
Adaptations to strength training
More motor units are involved
Motor units are greater in size
Rate of firing is faster
Greater synchronisation of motor units
What are the muscular adaptations (physical changes) from strength training?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Hypertrophy CSA / pennation angle Increase in number: Hyperplasia? Hormones / growth factors Cellular enzymes
In terms of Hypertrophy (muscular adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Increase in cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle fibres
This increases contractile material to increase force production
Preferentially hypertrophy of type 2 fibres occurs rapidly following strength training
Increase in myonuclei
What are satellite cells
Adaptations to strength training
A population of muscle-derived stem cells responsible for myofibrils development and renewal
How does resistance exercise training impact number of stem cells?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Increases the number after several days
The stopping of training is associated with what in terms of satellite cell activation
(Adaptations to strength training)
Termination of satellite cell activation
After heavy resistance exercise, what happens to protein synthesis?
(Adaptations to strength training)
It is increased for up to 48 hours
Similar with myofibrils protein synthesis (72h)
In terms of pennation / CSA (muscular adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
As angle of pennation increases -> increased packing of muscle fibres within the same ACSA (Slide. 27, lecture 16)
In terms of hyperplasia (muscular adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Increased number of muscle fibres
Myogenesis
Increased CSA
In terms of growth factors / hormones (muscular adaptations)
How does it improve performance?
(Adaptations to strength training)
Stimulate release of growth factors
Change expression of the major muscle growth regulators -> enhance protein synthesis
