- To increase rate of force production (or speed of muscle contraction) by increasing the number of motor neurons activated, the synchrony between them and the speed at which they are excited
104
What is the focus of the power phase (phase 5) ? How does a client train in the power phase?
Focus: - High force and velocity to increase power (to increase the rate of force production/speed of muscle contraction) Accomplished: - Superset (for each body part) of 1. A strength exercise - heavy (85-100%) loads; Example: barbell bench press 2. A power exercise - Light (30-45%) loads at high speeds; example: medicine ball chest pass
105
What is the definition/formula for power?
- Power equals force multiplied by velocity (P = F x V) | - Any increase in either force or velocity will produce an increase in power
106
The range of intensities is important to stimulate different physiologic changes. The 85 to 100% refers to the intensity for ______ _______ training exercises.
Traditional strength
107
The range of intensities is important to stimulate different physiologic changes. The 30 to 45% refers to the intensity for ______ training exercises.
Speed
108
The range of intensities is important to stimulate different physiologic changes. What is the 10% range an indicator for?
- Indicator for medicine ball training (10% of body weight) | - Increases power by increasing velocity
109
How does a client progress through the power phase (phase 5)? What is the duration a client will remain in the power phase? Then which phase do they go to?
Progress: - Increasing volume (sets) - Increasing intensity (load) - Increasing velocity Duration: - 4 weeks before cycling back through phase 1 or 2
