strength training

Question 1

What are some structrual adaptations of musculo and connective tissure system from strength training?

Answer 1

• Muscle hypertrophy
• Increased number and size of myofibrils
• Increased strength of tendons and ligaments
• Increased bone density

Question 2

What are some functional adaptations of musculo and connective tissure system from strength training?

Answer 2

• Increased force of contaction
• Increased number of myofibrils
• Increased joint stability = decreased risk of injury
• Increeased absorption of calcium = decreased risk of osteoporosis

Question 3

What are some overall adaptations of musculo and connective tissure system from stength training?

Answer 3

• Increases muscle mass
• Increased speed, strength and power output
• Increased intensity of performance
• Hypertrophic physique leading to increased self esteem

Question 4

What are some structural adaptation of Metabolic function from stength training?

Answer 4

• Increased ATP, PC and glycogen stores
• Increased enzyme activity
• Increased buffering capacity
• Increased muscle mass

Question 5

What are some Functional adaptations of metabolic function from stength training?

Answer 5

• Increased capacity for high intensity work, increased energy for speed and power activities
• Increased efficiency of anaerobic enrgy rpoduction, increased enzyme activities, reduce onset of fatigue
• Delays OBLA
• Improved body composition, increased meatbolic rate

Question 6

What are some overall adaptations of metabolic function from stength training?

Answer 6

Increased anaerobic fuel stores and energy production

Question 7

What are some structural adaptations of mneural pathways from stength training?

Answer 7

• Increased recruitment of motor units
• Decreased inhibition of stretch reflex

Question 8

What are some functional adaptations of mneural pathways from stength training?

Answer 8

• Increased force of contraction
• Improved coordination of motor units
• Increased force of contraction from agonist muscle, decreased inhibition from antagonist muscle

Question 9

What are some overall adaptations of mneural pathways from stength training?

Answer 9

Increased speed, strength and power output

Question 10

What are the five types of strength?

Answer 10

Static
Dynamic
Explosive
Maximum
Endurance

Question 11

What is static strength?

Answer 11

Force applied without movement
Important for holding a position/ balance

Question 12

What is maximum strength?

Answer 12

Maximal force in a single contraction

Question 13

What is endurance strength?

Answer 13

sustained repeated contraction

Question 14

What is dynamic strength?

Answer 14

Force applied with movement

Question 15

What is explosive strength?

Answer 15

Force applied with series of fast speed contraction
