25
progressive overload
to maximize the benefits of a training program, the training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus

due to hyperplasia and hypertrophy
47
Neural adaptations affecting strength gains

coactivation of agonist and antagonist's muscles
autogenic inhibition
recruitment of motor units
rate coding of motor units
48
synchronizing of motor units
generally recruited asynchronously
49
coactivation of agonist and antagonist
normally, antagonists oppose against force
-reduced coactivation can lead to strength gains
50
autogenic inhibitions
reflex inhibition of a motor neuron in response to excessive tendon in the muscle fibers it supplies
-resistance training can override these protective mechanisms to increase strength
51
rate coding of motor units
frequency of discharge may increase with rate coding
-ballistic type training appears to be most effective
52
recruitment of motor neurons
more motor units are recruited due to increased neural drive to alpha motor neurons
53

-sarcoplasmic expansion
-increase BP
54
cause of transient hypertrophy
due to edema formation from plasma fluid
55
chronic hypertrophy is maximized by
high velocity eccentric training
change of direction
- stresses stretch reflex -plyometrics
-as a part of periodized program - trains stretch reflex

55
chronic hypertrophy is maximized by
high velocity eccentric training
change of direction

-as a part of periodized program - trains stretch reflex
-disrupts sarcomere Z lines
56
Mechanisms of hypertrophy
more myofibrils, actin, myosin filaments --- provide more cross bridge for force production
-more sarcoplasm
57
creatine supplementation
cause more creatine in the muscle
-increases water intake and retention
58
sarcoplasmic hypertrophy
sarcoplasm grows faster than the muscle
59

70
atrophy due to immobilization
major changes after 6 hours
lack of muscle use = reduced rate of protein synthesis

71
what makes muscles sore
exhaustive, high intensity exercise
first time performing an exercise for the first time
-eccentric contractions
72
acute muscle soreness
pain and soreness experienced during and immediately after exercise that lasts several minutes to several hours
73
acute muscle soreness is caused by
accumlation of metabolic products - H+, change in pH
edema: fluid shifting from the blood plasma into the tissues
74
delayed onset muscle soreness
muscle soreness that develops 1-3 days after a heavy bout of exercise that is associated with actual injury within the muscle
75
major cause of DOMS
eccentric contractions
76
DOMS is indicated by muscle enzymes in blood and suggests
structural damage to muscle membrane (creatine kinase)
- the more creatine kinase (PCR) the more doms
77
doms causes pain because of
z disk disruption
78
Sarcomere Z disks
transmit force when muscle fibers contract
-z disk and myofilaments damage after eccentric work
79
sequence of events for doms
1. high tension in muscle - structural damage to muscle, cell membrane
2. membrane damage disturbs CA2+ homeostasis in injured fiber
-inhibits cellular respiration
3. after a few hours, circulating neutrophils increase the inflammatory response
4. products of macrophage activity, intracellular contents accumulate - histamine, kinins, K
80
Swelling from inflammation and histamine, kinis, K cause
pain in free nerve endings
81
what starts DOMS
damage to muscle fiber and plasmalemma
82
DOMS causes a decrease in
muscle force generation
83
loss of strength results from
1. physical disruption of the muscle
2. cell membrane andd z disk
3. failure within the excitation contraction coupling process

88
fick equation
how you calculate VO2
VO2= SV x HR x (a-v)O2 difference
89
SV increases with
exercise
90
EVD
end of relaxation phase
91
preload
volume of blood in ventricle at end of diastole
92
Frank-Starling mechanism
the larger the volume in left ventricle the more forceful the contraction
93
Stroke volume
the amount of blood that one contraction pumps out
94
training causes left ventricle wall to thicken which
= larger contraction
95
afterload
resistance left ventricle must be overcome to circulate blood increased hypertension, vasoconstriction
96
increased afterload =
increase in cardiac output
97
endurance exercise
increase blood flow = increase sheer force on vessel walls = stimulate enzyme = makes nitric oxide cause vasodilation
98
blood pressure lower =
decrease afterload
-prolonged vasodilation -will lower BP
99
Stroke volume goes up until max effort and then
plateues
100
increased Vagal tone
lowers intrinsic HR
101
submaximal HR
decrease HR for same given absolute intensity
-increase vagal tone

104
increase blood flow to active muscle
improved vascular shunting
105
decrease blood flow to inactive regions
increase blood flow to working muscle
