Study Notes
Exercise Training Terminology
- Strength refers to the maximum force a muscle group can generate.
- Power is defined as the rate of performing work, calculated as force multiplied by distance, divided by time.
- Muscular endurance represents the ability to sustain repeated muscle actions or a single static contraction.
Aerobic Power
- Aerobic power signifies the rate of energy release by cellular metabolic processes that rely on the presence and availability of oxygen.
- Maximal aerobic power indicates the maximum capacity for the aerobic resynthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Anaerobic Power
- Anaerobic power represents the rate of energy release by cellular metabolic processes functioning without the involvement of oxygen.
- Maximal anaerobic power signifies the maximum capacity of the anaerobic system for ATP production.
General Principles of Exercise Training
- Individuality: Training programs should consider the specific needs and abilities of each individual.
- Specificity: Adaptations to training are highly specific to the nature of the training activity and should align with an athlete's specific performance goals.
- Reversibility: Training programs need to incorporate a maintenance plan to prevent the loss of training benefits.
- Progressive Overload: To achieve adaptations, the training stimulus must be progressively increased as the body adapts to the current stimulus.
- Hard/Easy: Programs should alternate high-intensity workouts with low-intensity workouts to facilitate recovery and optimize training adaptations.
- Periodization: Periodization involves systematically cycling the specificity, intensity, and volume of training to attain peak fitness for competition.
Resistance Training Programs
- Resistance training programs aim to enhance muscular strength, power, and endurance.
- Programs should encompass these elements:
- Muscle groups to be trained.
- Type of training.
- Energy systems targeted.
- Injury prevention strategies.
Designing Resistance Training Programs
- Decisions must be made regarding:
- Exercises to perform.
- Order of exercises.
- Number of sets for each exercise.
- Rest periods between sets and exercises.
- Intensity (resistance level), number of repetitions, and movement velocity.
Periodization for Resistance Training
- Periodization cycles typically include five phases:
- Phase I: Muscular hypertrophy.
- Phase II: Strength.
- Phase III: Power.
- Phase IV: Peak strength.
- Phase V: Active recovery.
Types of Resistance Training
- Static-contraction (isometric) resistance training: Involves holding a muscle contraction at a fixed length.
- Free weights: Training utilizing movable weights (e.g., barbells, dumbbells).
- Eccentric training: Focuses on the lengthening phase of a muscle contraction.
- Variable-resistance training: Utilizes equipment that adjusts resistance throughout the range of motion.
- Isokinetic training: Utilizes equipment that maintains a constant velocity of movement.
- Plyometrics: Explodes muscles using rapid stretching and contracting movements (e.g., jump squats).
- Electrical stimulation training: Involves stimulating muscles using electrical impulses.
Resistance Training Programs Key Points
- Low repetitions with high resistance enhance strength development.
- High repetitions with low resistance optimize muscular endurance.
- Periodization is crucial for preventing overtraining and burnout.
- A standard periodization cycle comprises four active phases, each emphasizing a different muscular fitness component, along with an active recovery phase.
- Resistance training can incorporate either static or dynamic contractions.
- Eccentric training appears to be essential for maximizing muscle hypertrophy.
- Electrical stimulation can effectively be employed in athlete rehabilitation.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Power Training Programs
- Training programs are designed to target one or more of the three metabolic energy systems.
- Anaerobic power encompasses the ATP-PCr system and anaerobic glycolytic system.
- Aerobic power is represented by the oxidative system.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Power Training Variables
- Training variables that can be manipulated to support interval training include:
- Exercise interval rate.
- Exercise interval distance.
- Repetitions and sets during each session.
- Duration of rest or active recovery intervals.
- Type of activity during active recovery intervals.
- Training frequency per week.
Types of Training
- Interval training: Repeated bouts of high- to moderate-intensity exercise interspersed with rest or reduced-intensity periods.
- Continuous training: Extended periods of exercise without rest intervals, ranging from LSD training (Long, Slow Distance) to high-intensity training.
- Interval-circuit training: Combines interval training and circuit training into a single workout.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Power Training Key Points
- Training programs can target one or more of the three metabolic energy systems.
- Interval training involves repeated bouts of high- to moderate-intensity exercise punctuated by rest or reduced-intensity periods.
- Exercise intensity and recovery rate can be monitored using a heart rate monitor.
- Interval training is appropriate for all sports.
- Continuous training involves extended exercise without rest intervals, encompassing both LSD training and high-intensity training.
- Fartlek training offers a valuable recovery activity following several days of more intense exercise.
- Interval-circuit training merges interval training and circuit training into a single workout session.
