Muscle Physiology
This is also known as the thick filament.
What is myosin?
This training principles states that each person responds uniquely to exercise training.
What is individuality?
Shortening this acute program variable has been shown to increase the post-exercise blood hormone response.
What is rest period length/rest interval?
This adaptation to aerobic training is primarily responsible for increases in stroke volume during exercise.
What is increased plasma/blood volume?
This muscle fiber type has a slow contraction speed, high capillary density, and small motor neuron size.
What is a type I muscle fiber?
This test is commonly used to measure maximum muscular strength.
What is the 1-RM test?
Even the anticipation of performing intense resistance exercise increases blood levels of these hormones.
What are catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrine)?
This is considered a central adaptation to aerobic exercise training.
What is increased stroke volume during exercise?
These cells contribute nuclei to the existing muscle fiber, aiding in muscle growth.
What are satellite cells?
The T-test measures this parameter of athletic performance.
What is agility?
Increasing these two acute program variables has been shown to increase the post-exercise blood hormone response.
What are load (intensity) and volume?
Both aerobic and endurance training result in a decrease in the percentage of these muscle fibers.
What are type IIx fibers?
These two factors determine muscle fiber type involvement during exercise.
What are exercise intensity and duration?
The 300 yard shuttle test measures this parameter of athletic performance.
What is anaerobic power/capacity?
These two muscular adaptations to resistance training can occur with little or no change in circulating hormone levels.
What are muscular strength and hypertrophy?
Resistance training increases this measure of muscle fiber size.
What is cross-sectional area (CSA)?
These motor units are activated when performing a 1-RM power clean.
What are type I and type II motor units?
This percentage of 1-RM corresponds to the 10-RM load.
What is 75%?
This is the primary factor influencing the post-exercise anabolic hormone response.
What is exercise stress?
Evidence support that resistance exercise lowers the risk of death from this disease.
What is cardiovascular disease (CVD)?
