  1. Chapter 8 Muscular Fitness

  2. Chapter 8 Learning Targets • I know the difference between muscular strength and muscular endurance. • I can list the types of fibers found in skeletal muscles. • I know how to apply the principles of training to weight training. • I can tell the difference between training for muscular strength and muscular endurance. • I can follow the safety procedures for weight training.

  3. Muscular Fitness • Consists of muscular strength and muscular endurance. • Good muscular fitness will improve both posture and appearance.

  4. Muscular Strength • The ability of a muscle group to apply a maximal force against a resistance one time.

  5. Muscular Endurance • The ability to repeat a muscle movement over a period of time.

  6. Myths about weight training • You will develop a muscle-bound physique. • Weight training is not good for females. • Muscle will turn into fat. • ALL of the above statements are FALSE.

  7. Females and Weight Training • Females will not develop a muscle bound physique because estrogen is their primary sex hormone and also because they have a higher body fat percentage than males.

  8. Muscle Fiber Composition • Slow-twitch fibers (red muscle fibers) have the ability to contract for long periods of time and are used for aerobic or endurance activities. • Fast-twitch fibers (white muscle fibers) contract quickly and are used for anaerobic or strength activities.

  9. Methods of developing muscular fitness • Isometric-length of muscle does not change • Isotonic-using free weights or body weight (as in a push-up or pull-up) • Isokinetic-using weight machines

  10. Strength varies according to the angle of the joint

  11. Variable Weight Machines (Isokinetic) • Variable weight machines provide maximum resistance throughout the entire range of motion.

  12. Overload applied to muscular strength and endurance • Frequency-increase from two to three workouts per week. • Intensity-increase the amount of resistance. • Time-increase number of repetitions.

  13. The primary difference in muscular strength and muscular endurance training is in the amount of weight and repetitions (the number of times it is lifted). Muscular Endurance 30-60% of max 12-20 reps per set Muscular Strength 60-90% of max 4-8 reps per set A setis a group of repeated movements performed continuously . Strength vs. Endurance

  14. Specificity Specificity can be obtained by isolating the muscle.

  15. Progression in Weight Training Increase weight loads every several weeks.

  16. Safety considerations • Do not hold your breath when lifting weights. • Exhale during the lifting phase • Use spotters • Go through the complete range of motion to increase flexibility • Muscles have to be given 48 hours to rest from intense work.
