Study Notes

NASM - OPT Model Overview

  • The Optimum Performance Training (OPT) Model emphasizes a structured approach to fitness, consisting of five distinct phases: stabilization, strength endurance, hypertrophy, maximal strength, and power training.

Phase 1: Stabilization Endurance

  • Goals include increasing stability, improving muscular endurance, and enhancing control across all movement planes.
  • Focus on coordination of movement to facilitate overall functional fitness.

Phase 2: Strength Endurance

  • Aims to enhance the ability to perform more work with increased volume and intensity.
  • Prepares the body for higher load training in Phase 3.

Phase 3: Hypertrophy

  • Concentrates on increasing muscle mass through targeted strength training.

Phase 4: Maximal Strength

  • Focuses on maximizing neuromuscular performance by increasing load on body tissues.
  • Requires adaptations from Phase 3 for optimal strength gains.

Phase 5: Power Training

  • Enhances neuromuscular efficiency and increases rate of force production.
  • Integrates high-intensity and explosive movements.

Metabolic Conditioning

  • Refers to exercises that optimize the storage and delivery of energy for various physical activities.

Wolf's Law

  • Suggests that bone density increases along lines of stress applied to it.

Muscular Endurance

  • Highly trainable with reported improvements of 5-50% after 6-24 weeks of consistent exercise.
  • Effective stretches include prisoner squats, multiplanar lunges, single-leg squat touchdowns, tube walking, and medicine ball lift and chop.

Eccentric Strength

  • Pertains to the phase in which a muscle lengthens while under load, crucial for muscle development and control.

Nervous System Functions

  • The parasympathetic nervous system promotes rest and digestion, vital for recovery.

Power Training Benefits

  • Increases strength, stability, and anaerobic power, essential for athletic performance.

Rest Periods

  • Between strength and power exercises during supersets: 1-2 minutes.
  • Between circuits: 3-5 minutes.

Workout Session Duration

  • Each workout session, including warm-up and cool-down, should ideally last no longer than 60 minutes.

Training Phases' Key Parameters

  • Phase 1 (Core): 12-20 reps, 1-4 sets.
  • Phase 2 (Strength Endurance): 8-12 reps, 2-4 sets.
  • Phase 3 (Hypertrophy): 6-12 reps, 3-5 sets.
  • Phase 4 (Maximal Strength): 1-5 reps, 4-6 sets.
  • Phase 5 (Power): Strength: 1-5 reps, Power: 8-10 reps, 3-5 sets.

Resistance Training Intensities

  • Phase 1: 50-70%
  • Phase 2: 70-80%
  • Phase 3: 75-85%
  • Phase 4: 85-100%
  • Phase 5: 85-100%

Flexibility/SMR Stretching

  • Different rep and set recommendations per phase:
    • Phase 1: 1 rep, 1-3 sets.
    • Phase 2-4: 1 rep, 1-2 sets.
    • Phase 5: 1 rep, 0-2 sets.

Specific Training Strategies

  • Strength endurance training is optimized through superset techniques with minimal rest over approximately four weeks.
  • Emphasis on balance-strength training includes exercises that require maintaining balance and control.

Core and Balance Power Exercises

  • Core power example: soccer throw.
  • Balance-strength example: single-leg squat touchdown.

Client-Specific Recommendations

  • A client aiming to increase lean body mass may omit the power training phase from their plan.

These notes encapsulate the core elements of the NASM OPT model, focusing on key concepts, training phases, and protocols essential for optimal performance training.
