Study Notes

Deficiencies in ROM

  • Shoulder flexion and abduction screens can identify tightness in the latissimus dorsi, which limits overhead shoulder press.
  • Flexibility programming for latissimus dorsi is needed before overhead shoulder press exercises.
  • Side raises can be used as a strengthening exercise.

Recovery Period

  • Recovery is the time between exercise bouts, allowing for energy replenishment and cellular adaptations.
  • Rest intervals are the periods between exercise sets.
  • Training volume is calculated by multiplying sets, repetitions, and load lifted.
  • Duration is the time spent on a specific exercise.
  • A typical hour-long resistance training program involves only 15-20 minutes of actual exercise.

Push-Up Exercise

  • Push-ups off a bench load upper body musculature and spinal stabilizers.
  • Exercises with more support (e.g., bench press) isolate prime movers, requiring less trunk stability.

Range of Motion Screens

  • Range of motion screens use antagonistic muscle contractions to assess flexibility in various muscle groups.
  • Apley back scratch test evaluates shoulder internal and external rotation, triceps, and latissimus dorsi range of motion.
  • The spinal extension test measures rectus abdominis range of motion.
  • The hip extension screen evaluates hip range of motion.

Correct Intensity

  • Appropriate intensity is necessary for physiological stress and hormonal responses for effective training adaptations.
  • High intensity resistance training utilizes low repetitions with maximal intensities.
  • Endurance training utilizes higher repetitions with lower intensities.
  • Training frequency refers to how often an exercise is performed.
  • Training volume accounts for sets, reps, and loads.
  • Duration refers to the actual time spent on the exercise.

Warm-up Technique

  • Dynamic flexibility is the only suitable warm-up technique.
  • Static stretching and PNF methods are not encouraged during warm-up.
  • Cold tissues should not be stretched.
  • Static stretching should not be done before resistance training as it reduces muscle force production capabilities, especially in the legs.

Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) Method

  • Recommended training range is 60-80% of HRR or VO2 max.
  • Health attainment can be achieved at lower intensities, fitness attainment requires higher intensities (75-90% HRR).
  • Cardiovascular adaptations (e.g., increased stroke volume) occur at these higher intensities.

Strength Gains in Initial Phases

  • Initial strength gains are attributed to improved motor skill performance, particularly for beginners.
  • Beginners should prioritize correct form and proprioception.

Drop Set Technique

  • The drop set (strip set) technique maximally recruits remaining motor units.
  • Lowering weight immediately after fatigue, followed by continued repetitions until volitional fatigue, allows for more muscle activation.
  • This technique is used to increase training intensity and volume.

Aerobic Training

  • Aerobic training is a beneficial approach to increase VO2 and decrease cholesterol.
  • Aerobic training increases HDL-C (a cardioprotective lipoprotein).
  • Maintenance of an elevated heart rate is important for health benefits.

Power Training

  • Power training involves ballistic or plyometric jumps with minimal rest.
  • This increases power output compared to ballistic exercises alone.
  • The body recruits high-velocity motor units in response to increased exercise intensity.

Caloric Expenditure

  • 3500 calories equal one pound of fat and combining diet and exercise provide the most effective method for sustained weight loss.
  • Reducing calories through diet alone has a 98% failure rate.

Circuit Weight Training

  • Circuit weight training combines resistance and aerobic activities with transitional rest periods.
  • This increases workload per hour and can be implemented to enhance strength gains and weight loss.

Exercise Order

  • Larger muscle groups should be trained before smaller ones.
  • Multi-joint exercises should be performed before single-joint exercises.
  • More complex exercises should precede simpler ones.

Alternating Toe Touch March

  • Dynamic flexibility exercise targets the hip extensors.
  • It is performed at a controlled speed.

Optimal Training Intensity for Hypertrophy

  • 8-12 repetitions with 30-60 sec rest periods optimize anabolic hormone concentrations and muscle remodeling.
  • Training volume is determined by the combination of set, reps, and loads employed.

Proper Exercise Order

  • The squat, Romanian deadlift, seated leg extension, and seated calf raise are the appropriate order.
  • Larger muscle groups (squat and Roman chair) precede smaller ones.
  • Complex movements (squat and Romanian deadlift) followed by simple ones.
