Muscular strength =
the amount of force a muscle can produce with a single maximum effort
Muscular endurance =
the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to remain contracted (sustain a level of muscular force) or to contract repeatedly
Muscles consist of many ______ connected in bundles
muscle fibers (cells)
Muscle fibers/cells are made up of?
myofibrils
Myofibrils contain ____ and ____ filaments which slide together and contract the fiber
actin and myosin
Strength training increases the?
of myofibrils and the size of muscle fibers
hypertrophy
size of muscle fibers
atrophy
Inactivity reverses the process (No appreciable increase in # of muscle fibres)
characteristics of Slow-twitch fibers (red)?
Fatigue resistant Don’t contract as rapidly or forcefully as fast-twitch fibers Rely primarily on oxidative energy system
characteristics of Fast-twitch fibers (white)?
Fatigue more quickly than slow-twitch fibers Contract rapidly and forcefully Rely more on non-oxidative energy system
Intermediate fibers
fuel system between slow + fast-twitch
The type of fibre activated depends on?
the nature of the physical demand
Endurance activities (walking, jogging) use more _____ fibres, while strength/power activities use more ____ fibres
slow-twitch, fast-twitch
A “motor unit”?
1 nerve connected to 2 or many muscle fibers
what are some Physiological Effects of Strength Training?
Increased muscle mass and size of muscle fibers Increased utilization and coordination of motor units Increased strength of tendons, ligaments, and bones Increased storage of fuel in and blood supply to muscles Increased size of fast-twitch fibres Increased size of slow-twitch fibres Improvements in blood fat levels Improved blood vessel health Improvements in biochemical processes
Benefits of Muscular Strength and Endurance?
Improved performance of physical activities Injury prevention (maintaining posture, mechanics) Improved body composition Enhanced self-image and quality of life Improved muscle and bone health with aging Prevention and management of chronic disease
Muscular strength assessed by determining?
the maximum resistance that can be lifted one time
Muscular endurance assessed by?
counting the maximum number of repetitions (or length) of a muscular contraction
Static (isometric) exercise =
muscle contraction without a change in the length of the muscle
Dynamic (isotonic) exercise =
muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle
Concentric contraction =
muscle applies force as it shortens
Eccentric / plyometric contraction =
muscle applies force as it lengthens
what are the Types of Dynamic Exercise?
• Constant resistance • Variable resistance • Eccentric loading • Plyometrics • Speed loading • Isokinetic exercise
Constant resistance =
constant load throughout a joint’s range of motion
