Physio of ex ch.3 (Neuromuscular adaptaions to resistance training.)

The max amount of weight that can be lifted just one time

soreness or pain felt during and immediately after an exercise bout

loss of size or mass of body tissue such as muscle atrophy with disuse

Reflex inhibition of a motor neuron in response to excessive tension in the muscle fibers it supplies as monitored by the golgi tendon

An increase in muscle size that results from repeated long term resistance training

Muscle soreness that that develops a day or two after a heavy bout of exercise and tht is associated with actual injury within the muscle.

training that involves eccentric action.

Stimulation of a muscle by passing an electrical current through it

an increase in the number of muscle fibers

an increase in the size of the existing individual muscle fibers

Increase in the size or mass of an organ or body tissue

resistance training involving a static action

The ability of a muscle to resist fatigue.

An assessment of factors that detrimine the specific training program appropriate for an individual

Varying the training stimulus over discrete periods of time to prevent over-training

A type of dynamic-action resistance training based on the theory that use of the stretc reflex during jumping will recruit additional motor units

The rate of performing work; the product of force and velocity. Speed.

Training designed to increase strength power and muscular endurance

emphsizes static muscle action. also called isometrics

The ability of a muscle to execrt force generally the maximal ability.

The "pumping-up" of muscle that happens during a single exercise bout, resulting mainly from fluid accumulation in the interstitial and intracellur spaces of the muscle

The functional application of both strength and speed.

Super human feats are a result of.

The first adaptation seen when beginning a resistance program is.

Resistance training factors are.

Strength gains may result from changes in the __1.__ between motor neurons in the __2.__, allowing motor units to act more__3.__, facilitating contraction and increasing the muscle's ability to generate __4.__.

Training can gradually reduce or couteract inhibitory impulses by the golgi tendon organs allowing the muscle to reach greater levels of strength. Thus strength gains may be increased by achieved by reduced neurological inhibition.

To maximize the force generated by an agonist, it is necessary to minimize the amount of coactivation by the antagonist.

A term used to describe the firing frequency or discharce rates of motor units

Long term strength gains are largely the result of _________.

_____ is impaired with DOMS.

Reducing the ____ component of muscle action during early training can reduce muscle soreness.

Rest passive stretching and holding the muscle in the stretched position can be effective treatments for what.

Proper conditioning, stretching, and nutrition are possible_____ stratigies for cramps

Needs analysis should include

What type?

Athlete must recruit more motor units to gain control of the bar, stabalize weight lifted, and maintain body balance.

Speed of movement does not vary.

To improve ______ you should do more than 3 sets of 6rm to 12 rm loads; short rest periods

To improve _____ you should do several sets of few reps emphasizing speed of movement

To improve ______ you should do many reps and low resistance (20rm)

Few reps and high resistance
