Training Principles
Gradually increasing intensity over time to improve strength
What is progressive overload?
This grouping of fitness is typically specific to sport performance
What are skill-related (or sport-related) fitness components?
Muscle action associated with muscle fiber shortening
What is concentric contraction?
Prime mover of the Bench Press
What is Pectoralis Major?
This phenomenon occurs early in training and results in increased strength without an increase in muscle size, primarily due to improved motor unit recruitment and firing patterns
What are neural adaptations?
The stress placed on the body leads to the type of changes the body will make
What is Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands (SAID)?
A cross-country skiier would best prepare for their event by performing training within this component of fitness
What is Cardiorespiratory Endurance?
This term refers to the process of muscle fibers increasing in size after being stressed during resistance training
What is hypertrophy?
The arch nemesis of the agonist's story
What is the antagonist?
Toothbrush
What is toothbrush?!
The appropriate rep range for Muscular Strength training
What is 1-4 reps?
When you perform the same workout repeatedly without changing intensity, volume, or exercise type, this happens to your progress.
What is plateau
These muscle fibers are resistant to fatigue
This is the primary fuel source for muscular endurance training
What are fats?
Trying to prevent injuries before they occur
What is prehabilitation?
A superset includes an agonist and (blank) muscle group.
What is antagonist?
Not because of "lactic acid build-up" but rather this is the reason for hurting the day after a hard training session
What is Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS)?
The optimal range for force production according to the length tension relationship
What is 80-120% of resting length?
These types of exercises target multiple muscle groups at once, such as deadlift, squat, and bench press
What are compound exercises?
This unique form of stretching involves a partner, passive and active muscle actions/contraction, and is a proven method for increasing flexibility by facilitating muscular inhibition
What is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)?
This principle suggests that an athlete's ability to adapt to a training stimulus can be maximized by long-term training in specific phases, such as hypertrophy, strength, and peaking
What is macrocycle periodization?
Some sports require this quick change of direction with a cognitive response to a stimulus
What is agility?
Found mostly in wild felines, this type of muscle adaptation involves increasing the number of muscle fibers
What is hyperplasia?
Resistance training may enhance this cardiovascular training metric that is related to movement efficiency
What is running economy?
In this year the ACSM was founded
When was 1964?
