Study Notes
- Exercise Physiology studies how the body functions during physical activity stress.
- It also examines how the body adapts to ongoing physical activity.
Strength Basis of Exercise Physiology
- Overload principle: The body must be challenged to see results.
- Principle of progression: As the body adapts, it must be continuously challenged to improve.
- Specificity of exercise: Only trained muscles or systems will improve.
- Rest and recovery is important for results.
- Reversibility: Training benefits are lost without continued training.
Concepts in Exercise Physiology
- Fueling for exercise involves understanding what energy systems are used during different activities like walking, running, or lifting.
- It also addresses where energy comes from and how to increase it.
- The "mind to muscle" connection explores how muscles respond to brain signals.
- The central and peripheral nervous systems are also involved.
- Muscle soreness, including DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), is investigated.
- Adaptation to exercise is another concept.
- Such as, how gains are made and how to train for more endurance.
- Consideration of what energy systems are active when you are walking versus running versus lifting.
- Understanding where this energy originates and methods to enhance it.
- How muscles respond to brain signals is explored.
- Reasons for its occurrence are investigated.
- What occurs in the body when gains are made is examined.
- Methods to train for enhanced endurance are considered.
Assessments
- VO2 Max Testing measures the maximal oxygen consumption.
- It indicates the amount of oxygen the body can take in, transport, and use to generate ATP.
- VO2 max is reflective of overall aerobic fitness.
- Higher VO2 max = better overall fitness
