• Dynamic exercise against constant external resistance
variation of intensity and volume during specific periods of resistance training
Periodization

Power
How to prevent fatigue during exercise:
Recovery time
Decrease muscle cramps and increases effectiveness of isometric regimen.
Repetitive contraction
time allotted for recuperation between sets and sessions of exercise
Rest interval
used to develop a submaximal but sustained level of co-contraction to improve postural stability or dynamic stability of a joint by means of midrange isometric contractions against resistance in antigravity positions and in weight bearing posture if weight bearing is permissible. Body weight or manual resistance is typically the source of resistance.
Stabilization exercises
ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on the demands placed on the muscle. The greatest measurable force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group to overcome resistance during a single maximum effort
Strength
imposes varying levels of resistance to the contracting muscles to load the muscles more effectively at multiple points in the ROM. Resistance is altered throughout the range.
Variable resistance exercise

Volume
When muscles hypertrophy with high intensity, low-volume training, capillary bed density actually ____ because of an increase in the number of myofilaments per fiber.
decreases
Heavy resistance training athletes have ____ capillaries per muscle fiber than endurance athletes and even untrained individuals
fewer
Overload principle:
if muscle performance is to improve, a load that exceeds the metabolic capacity of the muscle must be applied-the muscle must be challenged to perform at a level greater than that to which it is accustomed.
Neural adaptions are attributed to motor learning and improved coordination and include:
increased recruitment in the number of motor units firing as well as increased rate and synchronization of firing
Cause for cardiopulmonary general fatigue:
o Decrease in blood sugar (glucose) levels o Decrease in glycogen stores in muscle and liver o Depletion of potassium, especially in the elderly patient
To improve muscle endurance
• 3-5 sets of 40-50 reps • maintaining an isometric contraction for incrementally longer periods of times
At the beginning of an exercise program the percentage necessary to achieve training-induced adaptations in strength: (% of one RM):
• 30-40% for sedentary, untrained individuals • 80% for those already highly trained • 40-70% for healthy but untrained adults • exercising at a low to moderate % is recommended for children and the elderly • significant deficits in muscle strength or to train for muscular endurance: 30-50%
Average volume numbers by percentage of 1RM
• 75% of 1 RM, complete ~ 10 reps before needing to rest • 60% of 1 RM: 15 reps • 90% of 1 RM: 4-5 reps
What factors go into chasing the right resistance training exercises:

List the potential benefits of resistance exercise
• Enhanced muscle performance: restoration, improvement or maintenance of muscle strength, power, and endurance • Increased strength of connective tissues: tendons, ligaments, intramuscular connective tissue • Greater bone mineral density or less bone demineralization • Decreased stress on joints during physical activity • Reduced risk of soft tissue injury during physical activity • Possible improvement in capacity to repair and heal damaged soft tissues due to positive impact on tissue remodeling • Possible improvement in balance • Enhanced physical performance during daily living, occupational, and recreational activities • Positive changes in body composition: increase lean muscle mass or decrease body fat • Enhanced feeling of physical well-being • Possible improvement in perception of disability and quality
Explain general principles & precautions/contraindications of resistance training
• Examination and evaluation • Prepare for resistance exercises • Have a warm up for resistance exercises, place resistance typically to distal end segment in which the muscle to be strengthened attaches, stabilization is necessary to avoid unwanted, substitute motions. For non weight bearing resisted exercises: external stabilization usually at proximal attachment of the muscle to be strengthened. During multipoint resisted exercise in weight bearing, patient must use muscle control to stabilize. • Intensity/amount • Number of reps, sets, and rest intervals • 8-12 reps for most adults • verbal or written instructions • monitor the patient • cool down
Strength training adaptations in connective tissues:
• Increase tensile strength of tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue in muscle • Increase bone mineral density; no change or possible increase in bone mass
Endurance training adaptation in connective tissues:
• Increase tensile strength of tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue in muscle • Increase in bone mineralization with land-based weight-bearing activites
use of resistance exercises that approximate or replicate functional demands•
• Integration of exercises into functional activities
Endurance training adaptations in skeletal muscles:
• Minimal or no muscle fiber hypertrophy • Increase in capillary bed density • Increase in mitochondrial density and volume (increase number and size)
Strength training adaptations in neural system:
• Motor unit recruitment (increase number of motor units firing) • Increase rate of firing (decrease twitch contraction time) • Increase synchronization of firing
Strength training adaptations in skeletal muscle:
• Muscle fibers hypertrophy: greatest in type IIB fibers • Possible hyperplasia of muscle fibers • Fiber type composition: remodeling of type IIB to type IIA; no change in type I to type II distribution • Decrease or no change in capillary bed density: decrease in mitochondrial density and volume
_____ increases linearly with chronological age in both boys and girls from birth through early and middle childhood to puberty.
• Muscle performance (specifically strength) in which part is related to the development of muscle mass
What does periodization do?
• Periodized training breaks up a training program into periods and builds systematic variation in exercise intensity and repetitions, sets, or frequency at regular intervals over a specific period of time.
Info about velocity:
• the velocity at which a muscle contracts significantly affects the tension that the muscle produces and subsequently affects muscular strength and power. The velocity is frequently manipulated in a resistance training program to prepare the patient for a variety of functional activities that occur across a wide spectrum of slow to fast velocities. • Concentric muscle contraction: during a max effort concentric muscle contraction: as the velocity of muscle shortening increases, the force the muscle can generate decreases • Eccentric: as velocity of active muscle lengthening increases, force production in the muscle initially increases to a point but then quickly levels off
Precautions of resistance training:
• valsalva maneuver: expiratory effort against a closed glottis must be avoided during resistance exercise • at risk patients • substitute motions • overtraining • overwork: progressive deterioration of strength in muscles already weakened by non-progressive neuromuscular disease • exercise induced muscle soreness (acute muscle soreness and delayed-onset muscle soreness) • pathological fracture
