Neural Adaptations
The phenomenon where training one limb improves strength in the other.
What is cross-education?
This is the primary cellular mechanism for muscle fiber enlargement.
What is hypertrophy?
This pathway is primarily responsible for initiating muscle protein synthesis?
What is the mTOR pathway?
This is the age-related loss of muscle mass.
What is sarcopenia?
This is combining resistance and endurance training.
What is Concurrent training?
The type of motor units that are recruited first during resistance training.
What are Type I motor units?
This specific type of muscle fiber(s) are most responsive to hypertrophy.
What are Type II fibers?
This amino acid is most potent in stimulating the mTOR pathway.
What is leucine?
Aging affects satellite cell activity in individuals by doing this.
What is a decrease in activity?
Endurance training affects mTOR signaling by this.
What is the inhibition via AMPK activation?
The neural adaptation involves increased firing rate of motor neurons.
What is rate coding?
The term for the addition of new myonuclei to muscle fibers.
What is satellite cell activation?
What molecule inhibits mTOR signaling during endurance exercise?
What is AMPK?
This type of resistance training is most beneficial for older adults.
What is high-velocity power training?
This is the recommended strategy to minimize interference in concurrent training.
What is separating endurance and resistance training sessions by several hours/days?
The term for the decreased inhibitory signals from Golgi tendon organs during training.
What is autogenic inhibition reduction?
The role of myostatin in muscle growth.
What is to inhibit muscle growth?
The effect of resistance training on the Akt pathway.
What is activation leading to muscle growth?
This hormone changes with aging and affects an individual's muscle mass.
What is a decrease in anabolic hormones like testosterone?
The effect of concurrent training on strength gains.
What is a potential reduction compared to resistance training alone?
The process of improved synchronization of motor unit firing called.
What is motor unit synchronization?
The phenomenon where previously trained muscles regain size and strength faster after retraining.
What is muscle memory?
The role of IGF-1 in muscle hypertrophy.
What is to stimulate muscle protein synthesis?
The impact of resistance training on bone density in older adults yields these results.
What is an increase in bone mineral density?
The term for the reduced hypertrophic response due to concurrent training.
What is the interference effect?
