Brief History of S&C: Competitive Lifting Sports (cont’d) • Powerlifting • Evolved in late 1950s • Composed of squat, bench press, & deadlift • First championships in 1964 in York, PA • International Powerlifting Federation formed in 1972 • Powerlifting USA magazine published in 1980s • Strength Competitions • 1977: World’s Strongest Man competition begun • Involves athletes from multiple sports

  19. Brief History of S&C: Strength & Conditioning Today • RT Recommended for Virtually Everyone • Shown to Enhance: • Health • Well-being • Performance in clinical, fitness, & athletic populations • Increase in Scientific Study of RT since 1970s • Adopted by ACSM

  20. Why Do Individuals Resistance Train? • General fitness & recreation • Strength training • Power training • Muscular endurance training • Muscle hypertrophy • Rehabilitation & prehabilitation • Competitive lifting sports • Athletics • Maintenance training • Physiological adaptations • Integration training

  21. Health Benefits of RT • ↓ risk factors for disease • ↓ percent body fat • ↑ dynamic, isometric, & isokinetic muscle strength • ↑ muscle hypertrophy • ↑ muscular endurance • ↑ basal metabolic rate • ↓ blood pressure • ↓ blood lipids, LDL cholesterol • ↓ resting heart rate • ↓ cardiovascular demand to exercise • ↑ bone mineral density • ↑ glucose tolerance & insulin sensitivity • ↓ age-related muscle atrophy • ↓ risk of colon cancer & osteoporosis • ↑ Vo2max • ↑ flexibility • ↓ risk/symptoms low back pain

  22. Performance Benefits of RT • ↑ muscle power • ↑ balance & coordination • ↑ speed • ↑ capacity to perform activities of daily living • ↑ vertical jump ability • ↑ throwing velocity • ↑ kicking performance • ↑ running economy • ↑ baseball bat swinging velocity • ↑ tennis serve velocity • ↑ wrestling performance • ↑ cycling power & performance

  23. Fitness Components • Health-Related Fitness Components • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Cardiovascular endurance • Flexibility • Body composition

  24. Fitness Components (cont’d) • Skill-Related Fitness Components • Power • Speed • Agility • Balance & coordination • Reaction time

  25. Keys to Success: The RT Program • Muscle Action • Eccentric • Concentric • Isometric • Repetition • Set • Volume • Intensity • Frequency • Exercise Selection • Exercise Order • Rest Periods or Intervals • Repetition Velocity

  26. Competitive Forms of RT • Bodybuilding • Physique contest judged subjectively by panel • RT is essential component of training • Presentation of physique is critical • Compulsory poses • Choreographed posing routine • Training aimed at hypertrophy, symmetry, shape, & definition
