    Study Notes

    Learning Objectives

    • Students should be able to identify and explain similarities and differences between various physiological adaptations to exercise.
    • Students should know the principles of exercise training.
    • Students should understand why understanding and managing these principles is vital for achieving adaptive training responses.

    Training Characteristics That Change with Training

    • Primary Goals:
      • Increasing force output:
        • More absolute force
        • More velocity at a relative force
        • Combination of both
      • Increasing energy production:
        • More ATP for cellular work
        • Improvement in associated factors like cardiac output and oxygen kinetics.

    Force Variables: Muscular Strength

    • Strength: Maximum force a muscle group can generate.
      • Static Strength: Strength that doesn't change speed or joint angle.
      • Dynamic Strength: Strength that changes with speed and joint angle.
    • 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM): Maximum weight lifted with a single effort. Warm-up is necessary. Incrementally add weight until only 1 repetition can be performed.

    Force Variables: Muscular Power

    • Muscular Power: Rate of performing work. It's the explosive aspect of strength.
    • Power Formula: Power = force x (distance/time).
    • Power is often more crucial than strength in many activities.
    • Typically measured with electronic devices. Field tests are often less specific to power.

    Force Variables: Muscular Endurance

    • Endurance: Capacity to execute repeated muscle contractions, or sustain a single contraction, over time.
    • Number of repetitions at given % 1RM.
    • Improvements from strength training gains and changes in local metabolic/cardiovascular function

    Energy Production Variables: Aerobic Power

    • Aerobic Power: Rate of energy release from oxygen-dependent metabolic processes.
    • Maximal Aerobic Power: Maximum capacity for aerobic ATP resynthesis.
      • Also known as aerobic capacity, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
    • Primary Limitation: Cardiovascular system.
    • Tested in a laboratory or estimated from various field tests.

    Energy Production Variables: Anaerobic Power

    • Anaerobic Power: Rate of energy release from oxygen-independent metabolic processes.
    • Maximal Anaerobic Power: Maximum capacity of anaerobic systems to produce ATP.
      • Also known as anaerobic capacity.
      • Measured with maximal accumulated O2 deficit tests, critical power tests, or Wingate anaerobic tests.

    Goal of Exercise Training

    • Physical activity aimed at improving one or more physiological variables previously described.

    Principles of Exercise Training

    • Specificity: Training programs must be tailored to the requirements of the sport and the individual. Variations exist between athletes.
    • Progression: Training programs must increase in difficulty over time.
    • Overload: Training must push the body beyond its usual capacity for improvements to occur.
    • Reversibility: Improvements from training are temporary if not kept up via regular exercise.
    • Variation (Periodization): Systematically changing one or more training variables (intensity, volume, mode) to keep the workout challenging and prevent stagnation. Macrocycles and mesocycles are relevant concepts.

    FITT Principle (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type)

    • Frequency: How often. Optimal training frequency varies across training statuses (beginner, intermediate, advanced).
    • Intensity: How hard.
    • Time/Duration: How long.
    • Type/Mode: What type of exercise or activity. Mode greatly impacts the physiological adaptations.

    The Finer Details of Human Movement

    Note FIT is an acronym used in these slides, meaning Frequency, Intensity, and Time. However, "Type" is added to the acronym as well.

    • How does the duration of training impact physiology? This topic is discussed with relevant graphs.
    • Which exercise types are most impactful to the body?
