Principles & Performance
The extent to which contractile muscle elements produce force.
What is muscle strength?
This program determinant is the exercise load or level of resistance.
What is intensity?
This muscle activation occurs when a muscle shortens while lifting a weight.
What is concentric contraction?
Squats, lunges, and step-us are lower-extremity examples of this type of training.
What is closed-chain training?
Dumbbells, barbells, weighted balls, cuff weights, weighted vests, and sandbags are examples of this equipment category.
What are free weights?
The ability to perform repetitive, sustained activities over a prolonged period.
What is endurance?
This program determinant is the total number of repetitions and sets in an exercise session.
What is volume?
This muscle activation occurs when a muscle lengthens while controlling a load.
What is an eccentric contraction?
What is open-chain exercise?
This inexpensive resistance device uses different colors to represent different resistance levels, but its material fatigues over time.
What are elastic bands or elastic tubing?
Known as "Use it or Lose it," this principle explains detraining after resistance exercise stops.
What is the Reversibility Principle?
This set, repetition, and RM range represents a typical PRE program.
What are 2-3 sets of 6-12 repetitions using a 6-12 RM?
This exercise involves muscle contraction without a change in muscle length or joint motion.
What is isometric exercise?
This chain encourages co-activation of muscular stabilizers to control joint movement.
What is closed-chain exercise?
These wall-mounted systems commonly use plates that increase resistance is 5- to 10- pound increments.
What are simple weight-pulley systems?
This principle matches exercise parameters to a patient's functional needs and goals.
What is the SAID Principle?
This precentage is added to the DAPRE weight when all repetitions and sets are completed easily without significant fatigue.
What is 5%-10%?
This isometric exercise slows muscle athrophy and maintains mobility
What is muscle-setting isometric exercise?
It is a myth that this chain is always more functional than the other.
What is closed-chain exercise?
This dynamic; reactive device produces oscillatory resistance during stabilization training.
What is body blade?
These four groups describe the physiological adaptations associated with resistance exercise.
What are neural, skeletal muscle, vascular and metabolic, and connective tissue adaptations?
These are the expected timelines for strength gains and muscle hypertrophy.
What are 2-3 weeks for strength gains and 6-12 weeks for hypertrophy?
This fact describes the difference between eccentric and concentric loading capacity.
What is "greater loads can be lowered than lifted"?
These devices use low-intensity, high repetition exercise to improve, endurance, reciprocal coordination, and cardiopulmonary fitness.
What is reciprocal exercise equipment?
This training method uses a pre-established sequence of 8-12 exercise stations to strengthen major muscle groups while adding cardiovascular conditioning.
What is circuit weight training?
