1. Strength/Speed training
4. Motor Units
5. 3 Types of Muscle Fibers SO - Slow-twitch Oxidative
Type I, Slow-twitch
FOG - Fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic
Type IIa, Fast-twitch a
FG - Fast-twitch glycolytic
Type IIb, Fast-twitch b
7. Slow vs. Fast Twitch Fibers Slow-twitch
Aerobic
Require oxygen
Fast-twitch
Anaerobic
Do not require oxygen
(ex. Red vs. white meat in chicken)
8. Slow vs. Fast Twitch Fibers
Fast-twitch - Speed & speed/power:
ex. Sprinting & weight lifting
Slow-twitch - endurance:
ex. Long-distance running & XC skiing
Ball sport athletes - wide variety of fiber types.
9. Slow vs. Fast Twitch Fibers Training determines type of fiber developed & achieved potential.
Low-intensity work develops slow-twitch fibers.
Contract slowly, fatigue-resistant
High-intensity work develops fast-twitch fibers.
Contract quickly, speed & power
Principle of specificity applies.
10. LO #2: Slow-Twitch (ST) Fibers Blood supply -- Very good (red)
Energy System -- Long Term (Oxidative, Aerobic)
Endurance -- Very high
Relative Size -- Small (cross-sectional area)
Force production -- Low
Reaction time -- Slow
Importance -- Endurance activities
11. LO #2: Fast -Twitch (FT) Fibers Blood supply -- Low (white)
Energy System -- Immediate & Intermediate (glycolitic, anaerobic)
Endurance -- Very low
Relative Size -- Large (cross-sectional area)
Force production -- Excellent
Reaction time -- Very fast
Importance -- Anaerobic and strength activities
12. LO #2: Fast-Oxidative Glycolitic (FOG) Fibers Blood supply -- Good (pink)
Energy System -- Intermediate & Long-term (glycolitic, aerobic)
Endurance -- Moderate
Relative Size -- Medium (cross-sectional area)
Force production -- Good
Reaction time -- Fast
Importance -- Strength & Endurance activities
13. Fiber Types Effects of training:
Endurance training can increase ST contraction velocity by 20%
Resistance training can convert FT fibers from Type IIb to Type IIa
Elite athlete fiber type distribution does not significantly differ from untrained individuals
Affected by:
Age and Obesity
14. Overload Principle Work muscle above and beyond what it is accustomed to and it will adapt !
Overload may be an increase:
Resistance
Repetitions / Sets
Contraction velocity
15. Types of Contractions Concentric: Muscle shortens w/ contraction
Eccentric: Muscle lengthens while it is contracted.
Static (Isometric): No change in muscle length w/ contraction
16. Muscular Adaptations Muscle Fibers (Physical Changes)
Increase in Size: Hypertrophy (Particularly Type II)
Directly proportional to the VOLUME of overload
Volume = Resistance X Repetitions
Increase in Number: Hyperplasia (?)
17. LO #1: Strength & Endurance Strength = ?
Greatest amount of force a muscle or muscle-group can exert in a single effort.
A function of…
muscle cross-sectional-area (CSA), fiber-type composition, type of contraction, neural factors (motor learning), acute conditions (rest, hydration, food intake).
19. Overview of Adaptations
20. Muscle Fiber Adaptations Hyperplasia – the increase in the number of muscle cells. Research is inconclusive, but if it does happen, it would most likely be in type II fibers and only account for 5-10% of increased muscle size.
Hypertrophy – an increase in the size of existing muscle fibers.
It appears that hypertrophy does not occur until more than 8 weeks of training.
21. Energy System Adaptations ATP – CP
Will increase stores of ATP-CP
Anaerobic Glycolysis
? in levels of glycolytic enzymes
Less LA produced, more efficient, ? LA tolerance
22. Other Adaptations Intramuscular Fuel Stores
[ATP], [CP], and [Glycogen] Increase
VO2max
Depends on training
Connective Tissue
Ligament / Tendon Strength Increases
Increase in connective tissue surrounding muscle fibers? Increased bulk
? Bone Mineral Density
23. Muscle Fiber Types Fast Twitch (FG / Type II)
? anaerobic capacity
Type IIa (FOG) vs. IIb
Fatigue easily
Fast contractile velocity (Vmax)
