strength endurance Flashcards
what is muscular endurance
ability to resist fatigue in strength performance of longer durations
what is increased with muscular endurance
-number of mitochondria
-stored glycogen and fats
-aerobic enzymes like fat metabolism
-capillaries
how does metabolic adaptations occur
repetitive contractions
what does muscular endurance favor’s
aerobic capabilities and slow twitch fibers
what is maximal strength
ability to perform maximal voluntary muscular contractions
what is one repetition maximum
greatest force that can be exerted during one rep of given contraction
what is the importance of maximal strength
important for athletes who are required to overcome resistance
what is the relationship between maximal strength and muscular endurance
number of reps that can be performed at high resistance depends on maximal strength
what are the issues related to strength and endurance
increased endurance can decrease muscle strength = decrease of muscle volume and vise versa
what is relative strength
overcoming own body mass depending on proportion of maximal strength
what is equation for relative strength
relative strength= maximal strength/ body mass
what are the health benefits of increased muscular strength and endurance
-prevents lower back pain
-prevents bone loss
-decreased injury
-postpones decrease in strength with age
-increases resting metabolic rate
what is power
max force a muscle can generate in minimum time
what is strength
max force a muscle can generate in a single contraction
what is the relationship between max strength and power
fast twitch fibers increase diameter and increase intra muscular coordination
