|
What is the purpose of anaerobic training |
To train at a high intensity with limited recovery to develop the energy systems that dont use oxygen |
|
|
Define strength |
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to exert a force against resistance |
|
|
Define absolute strength |
The maximum force against a resistance that a muscle can exert in a single effort, 1RM |
|
|
Define Muscular strength |
The force a muscle or muscle group can generate |
|
|
Define muscular power |
Then product of combining speed with strength |
|
|
Define muscular endurance |
The capacity to repeatedly develop and sustain maximal or near maximal resistance |
|
|
Define repetition |
The number of times an exercise is repeated without rest |
|
|
Define Repetition maximum |
The max weight a person can lift and the number of times it can be performed until fatigue |
|
|
Define Passive rest |
Time allocated for rest/recovery between sets |
|
|
Define resistance |
The weight of force (kg) |
|
|
Define an isotonic contraction |
Muscle fibres with lengthen and shorten, engaging both agonist and antagonist muscles throughout the range of movement |
|
|
Define Isometric contractions |
The muscle length and tension remain consistent and do not change in length whilst resistance is applied |
|
|
Define a isokinetic contraction |
Only can be achieved by the use of machines, enabling the muscle to remain at the same tension Throughout the full ROM |
|
|
What is ROM |
Range of movement |
|
|
What factors contribute to adaption through resistance training |
- muscle hypertrophy - increased creatine level/ anaerobic enzymes/ hemoglobin - Decreased HR at any given workload |
|
|
What are the 3 types of strengths |
Absolute, power, endurance |
|
|
Define hypertrophy |
A change in shape, increase in-size of muscle |
|
|
Concentric |
Applying a force against gravity to lift a load |
|
|
Eccentric |
Lowering a weight against the force of gravity |
|
|
What is a good amount of time for rest between sets whilst training for endurance and absolute strength |
Absolute= 3-5 min Endurance = 30’seconds |
|
|
What are the 3 training methods to improve strength |
Resistance, weight, isometric |
