Study Notes
FITT Formula
- Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type
- Remember: MHR (maximum heart rate) = 220 - age, then multiply by % for your THR
- Example: 20-year-old, 200 x 70-80% = 140bpm-160bpm
Muscular System
- Three types of muscle tissue:
- Skeletal: Voluntary, controlled by the nervous system, used for movement.
- Smooth: Involuntary, automatically controlled; found in organs.
- Cardiac: Involuntary, found only in the heart.
Muscular Capacity
-
Health Benefits of Resistance Training:
- Increased muscle strength
- Higher resting metabolic rate
- Increased bone mineral density
- Muscle fiber hypertrophy (increase in size).
- Positive changes in body composition
- Reduction of back pain
- Improved glucose utilization
Terms
- 1RM: One Repetition Maximum (maximal weight lifted for one repetition).
- Repetition (rep): One complete movement of an exercise.
- Set: Group of repetitions.
- Overload Principle: Muscles build up if subjected to more than normal workload.
- General Adaptation: Process of preparing muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments for intense training. Characterized by higher repetitions, lower intensities, and short rest periods.
- Atrophy: Muscles getting smaller.
Muscle Action
- Main focus for tests on Prime Movers (agonist) and Antagonist.
- Example:
-
Bench Press:
- Prime Movers (agonist): anterior deltoids, triceps, and pectorals.
- Secondary Movers: deltoids.
- Antagonists: posterior deltoids, biceps, and latissimus dorsi/rhomboids.
- Stabilizers: rhomboids.
-
Bench Press:
Overall Conditioning Program
- Example of a training program, not a prescriptive model. Mix of upper, lower body, and core exercises. Example given: 3 times/week, 4 sets, 8-10 reps.
- Adjust based on individual needs and training goals.
Principles of Resistance Training
- Exercise Selection: Specific exercises for particular sport or muscle groups.
- Muscle Balance: Full body training to avoid imbalances.
- Exercise Order: Compound movements typically first.
- Rest: Varies depending on goals (short rest to long rest).
- Breathing: Out during concentric phase (lifting), in during eccentric phase (lowering).
- Speed of contraction/tempo: Adjust based on goals (e.g., power vs. hypertrophy).
- Technique: Proper form throughout exercise.
- Bench Positioning (for Bench Press): Correct position to avoid injury.
Common Terminology
- Functional Exercises: Same movements used in daily life or specific to sports.
- HIIT: High-Intensity Interval Training.
- Metabolism: Chemical processes for maintaining life.
- Plyometrics: Rapid, powerful muscular contractions for explosive movements.
- Superset: Two exercises back-to-back without rest.
- Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise
- Cross training: Engaging in multiple types of exercise.
- Compound Exercises: Movements that work multiple muscle groups.
- PREP: Physical Readiness Evaluation for Police.
