E N D
Strength • Maximum force or tension generated by a muscle or muscle group • specific movement pattern • specific velocity
Fast Twitch • Speed of action-Fast • Speed of relaxation-Fast • Fatigue resistance-Low • Force Capacity-High • Fiber Diameter-Large • Capillaries and MV-Low • Myosin ATPase-High • Glycolytic Capacity-High
Slow Twitch • Speed of action-Slow • Speed of relaxation-Slow • Fatigue resistance-High • Force Capacity-Low • Fiber Diameter-Small • Capillaries and MV-Low • Myosin ATPase-Low • Oxydative Capacity-High
Strength • Strength is task-specific • e.g. bench press vs. clean & jerk • Functional strength
How Do We Measure • Tensiometry • Dynamometry • 1 RM • Computer Assisted
Muscle Actions • Concentric • Eccentric • Isometric • Isokinetic?
Why do we strength train? Adaptation • adjustment to the environment • Fitness • Health • Sports • Muscle Physiology • Physical Therapy
Number Size Type Equivocal Increase Unknown Physiological Adaptations Muscle Fibers
Bodybuilders Power lifters No change Decrease Capillary Density
Volume Density Decrease Decrease Mitochondria
Anaerobic Enzymes Intramuscular Fuel Stores Twitch Contraction Time Increase Increase Decrease Physiological Adaptations
Ligament Strength Tendon Strength Bone Mineral Content Cross-Sectional Increase Increase Increase No-change Physiological Adaptations
What influences adaptation? 1. Stimulus magnitude / overload 2. Accommodation 3. Specificity 4. Individualization
Stimulus Magnitude • Stimulating • Retaining • Detraining
Stimulus Magnitude • Training stimulus • Intensity • Load • Stress
Overload - DeLorme (1946) • To increase size or functional ability, muscle fibers must be taxed toward their present capacity to respond • Threshold point - must be exceeded for adaptation to occur
Accommodation Performance Gain Training time, training load
Accommodation Progressive • Quantitative • Qualitative
Specificity Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands (SAID) • muscle groups • speed of event • strength • endurance
Specificity “Transfer of training”
Can we measure “transfer of training”? Result gain = Gain in performance Std. Dev. of performance Transfer = Result gain in nontrained exercise Result gain in trained exercise
Specificity 140 120 100 80 60 40 20
Individualization • People are different • Variability
Exercise Prescription Scientific knowledge base for resistance training Test Data Needs analysis Assimilation Program Administrative Concerns Choices Acute program variables Individualization Monitoring, testing Chronic program manipulations
Exercise Prescription Needs Analysis • What muscle groups? • What type of muscle action? • What are the basic energy sources? • What are the 10 sites of injury/prior injuries?
Needs Analysis Exercise Movements • Specific muscles • Joint angles • Contraction mode • Loading needs
Needs Analysis Energy Source • ATP-PC • Lactic Acid • Oxygen
Acute Program Variables • Choice of exercise • Order of exercise • Number of sets • Rest duration • Load/intensity
Choice of Exercise • Structural • Body Part • Contraction mode
Order of Exercise • Large first • Small first (pre-exhaust) • Arm to leg/arm-arm, leg-leg
Number of Sets • 3 - 6 • single
Rest Duration • Short < 1 minute • Moderate 1 to 3 minutes • Long > 3 minutes
Progressive Resistance Training Overload • Training stimulus/intensity/load/stress must exceed normal loading • biological tissue Progressive • Overload continues as system accommodates
Overload Parameters Frequency Mode Duration Intensity • Load • Repetitions • Duration • Sets
