Q

what happens to muscles during explosive strength

A

Q

measurement of strength endurance

Study These Flashcards
A

NCF abdominal sit-up test

24
Q

explain NCF abdominal sit-up test (7)

Study These Flashcards
A
  • forearms & hands in x position
  • knees 70-90 degrees
  • feet 5-8 cm apart
  • partner or object hold feed & ankles
  • performer sits up & lays back ti series of beeps - get faster as test goes on
  • stop when physically cannot continue or technique compromised
  • compare results to standardised table
25
factors affecting strength (6)
- muscle composition - gender - age - physical inactivity - strength training - angle of joint
26
how does muscle composition affect strength (3)
greater the: 1) % fast twitch muscle fibres (FG & FOG) 2) cross sectional area of muscle (diameter) 3) muscle size = greater potential force can be generated
27
how does gender affect strength (2)
- females have less muscle man than men - females have less testosterone (makes muscles bigger) than men
28
how does age affect strength (4)
- females peak strength age 18-25 - males peak strength between 18-30 - greatest gains for both sexes made between 20-10 - testosterone decreases with age - as age increases strength decreases
29
how does physical inactivity affect strength
atrophy occurs - muscles get smaller & weaker (aka reversibility)
30
how does strength training affect strength (2)
- hypertrophy occurs - hyperplasia - muscle fibres splitting & repairing bigger & stronger
31
how does angle of joint (weakest point in range of movement) affect strength (2)
- extreme angle = weaker - more force & power required
