12 Questions
What is the primary goal of resistance training?
Increase in muscle size
What is the role of Golgi tendon organ (GTO) in resistance training?
Senses tension in tendon and causes muscle relaxation
What hormone increases with resistance training and promotes protein synthesis and muscle size?
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
What does resistance training do to muscle cross-sectional area?
Increases it
What is the primary effect of endurance training on muscle fiber type?
Type IIb to Type IIa conversion
What is the role of prostacyclin in bone adaptation?
Leads to increased collagen and mineral deposition
What is the effect of weight-bearing exercise on bone mineral density?
Increases bone mineral density
What adaptation occurs in muscles due to resistance training?
Remodels muscles and increases myofibrils
What happens to the sensitivity of Golgi tendon organ with training?
Becomes less sensitive
What is the main effect of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in muscles?
Increases protein synthesis and muscle size
What is the primary goal of endurance training?
Enhance endurance capacity
What does resistance training do to the number of muscle fibers?
Can lead to hyperplasia (fiber splitting) and increase the number of muscle fibers
