Study Notes
Principles of Strengthening Exercise
- Strength is a crucial physical quality, most important for overcoming external weight or resistance via muscle contraction.
- Strength classifications include dynamic (acceleration, like throwing) and static (deformation, like pushing).
- Active strength includes maximum, swift, and resistance forces; reactive strength utilizes elastic components (plyometrics).
- Training one strength type may not improve others significantly.
Derived Capacities
- Endurance is the ability to maintain effort against fatigue, coming in aerobic (long, low intensity) and anaerobic (short, high intensity) forms.
- Speed is the ability to perform movements quickly, limited by neural drive and muscle contraction speed.
- Flexibility is the ability to move through the largest possible range of motion.
Effects of Strength Training
- Neural adaptations improve neural recruitment, CNS activation, motor unit synchronization, and inhibit reflexes (Golgi tendon organs).
- Muscular adaptations (hypertrophy) result in increased myofibrils, actin-myosin myofilaments, sarcoplasm, and connective tissue (though rapid growth can lead to muscle ruptures, sometimes needing steroids).
Muscle Atrophy
- Loss of muscle mass, particularly prominent in the first week of immobilization (3-4% loss per day, primarily affecting type 1 fibers).
- Full recovery takes longer than immobilization time; muscle memory plays a role in faster recovery from inactivity.
Static Strength (Isometric Exercise)
- Involves tension without changing muscle length.
- Training for hypertrophy uses (70-75%) maximal resistance and 3-30 second sustained contractions.
- Training for maximum strength uses (80-100%) maximal resistance and 1-5 second repetitions.
Dynamic Strength: Concentric Exercise
- Muscle force is greater than resistance.
- Strength training using repetition-based relationships for different goals.
- Intensity typically falls in the 60-85% range.
- This type of exercise offers benefits in increasing muscle strength, reducing injury risk, and providing faster exercise recovery.
Dynamic Strength: Eccentric Exercise
- Muscle force is less than resistance.
- Characterized by slow movement speeds.
- Training style involves eccentric-centric muscle movement cycles.
- Though stronger, eccentric training comes with greater injury risk.
Dynamic Strength: Isokinetic Exercise
- Resistance varies to match force applied at different points of motion during consistent speed.
- This method offers joint-control benefits but typically entails more expensive equipment and lab-like settings.
Efforts of Short Duration & Maximum Strength
- These efforts rely on ATP and phosphocreatine (PC) for energy.
- Muscles have limited ATP and PC stores, depleting quickly.
- Activities such as weightlifting use these energy sources.
Efforts of Short Duration & High Intensity
- These efforts depend on glucose (glycogen form) and anaerobic glycolysis.
- Lactic acid production is an outcome of these efforts, and with insufficient oxygen, Krebs cycle fails.
- Activities like 1500-meter runs rely on these short bursts of energy.
Efforts of Long Duration
- Aerobic glycolysis is a primary energy source, also using fat oxidation.
- Limited glycogen stores play a part in longer-duration activities (ex: marathons).
Energy Sources & Resistance Types
- ATP is immediate energy, quickly used.
- Phosphocreatine (PC) facilitates ATP resynthesis, mainly for short durations (30s).
- Glucose is the main fuel for 3+ minutes exercise.
- Fat aids in longer durations (4+ hours).
Aerobic-Anaerobic Transition
- The lactic threshold is the intensity where oxygen supply reaches its limit, transitioning to anaerobic sources.
- The ventilatory threshold, related to lactic threshold, corresponds to blood changes.
Execution of Exercise
- Execution time includes eccentric (muscle lengthening) and concentric (muscle shortening) phases, and rest intervals.
- Higher maximal resistance percentage leads to fewer repetitions needed.
Execution Speed
- Maximum speed is the fastest possible movement with controlled load, while dynamic maximum force involves rapidly moving a maximum load.
Exercise Technique
- Effective exercise techniques consist of well-defined positions, grips, displacements, and breathing strategies.
Position, Grip, Displacement
- Proper posture (e.g., upright spine, arms close to body) and stances (e.g., legs hip-width apart) are fundamental.
- Efficient grips (e.g., supine, prone, neutral) match the exercise type.
- Controlled movements during exercise are crucial.
Breathing
- Active breathing involves inhaling during concentric actions and exhaling during eccentric actions (particularly in dynamic exercises with resistance).
- Passive breathing might be utilized for effort management during certain stages of exercises.
Exercise Program Design
- Program design involves determining aims (e.g., strength, endurance, power), the number of sets and repetitions per session, intervals of rest, and duration.
- Guidelines for a healthy individual’s strength-building routine might involve sets of 6-8 maximum rep ranges, with suitable rest periods according to the specific training style.
