Study Notes
Resistance Training Program Design
- Different resistance training routines include whole-body routines and split routines, with recommended frequencies varying for untrained individuals, healthy populations, trained recreational and competitive athletes, and advanced lifters.
- The optimal intensity for developing strength ranges between 60% and 100% of 1-RM, with specific ranges for novice, intermediate, and advanced lifters.
- Intensity can be classified based on resistance (% 1RM), with different effort intensity classifications.
- The average number of repetitions and % 1-RM values may vary slightly for different muscle groups and ages.
- The optimal number of sets for strength gains is controversial, with recommendations varying for different groups and experience levels.
- Training volume can be increased by altering the number of exercises, reps, and sets performed for each session.
- A well-rounded resistance training program should include exercises for each major muscle group, promoting muscle balance and symmetry.
- The order of exercises in a basic resistance training program should prioritize multi-joint exercises before single-joint exercises.
- The rest between sets varies based on intensity, with lower intensity requiring shorter rest and higher intensity requiring longer rest.
- Dynamic resistance training methods include variations for sets, order and number of exercises, and frequency, such as single set, multiple sets, pyramiding, pre-exhaustion system, and prescription of multiple exercises for a specific muscle group.
- Pyramiding is a light-to-heavy system suitable for experienced weightlifters, involving as many as 6 sets per exercise.
- The pre-exhaustion system aims to fatigue smaller muscles by performing single-joint exercises before multi-joint exercises, while the prescription of multiple exercises for a specific muscle group involves alternating muscle groups for rest and recovery between exercises.
Resistance Training Guidelines for Healthy Adults
- Resistance training guidelines are based on factors such as the individual's training volume and experience level.
- For novices, improved muscular fitness is achieved at 60%-70% of 1-repetition maximum (1-RM).
- Improved muscular strength for novices is achieved at loads > 60% 1-RM, while experienced individuals should aim for 80%-100% 1-RM.
- Improved muscular power is achieved with specific percentages of 1-RM for upper and lower body exercises.
- There is no specific duration for resistance training, with the duration depending on the sets and repetitions performed for each exercise.
- Novices aiming for improved muscular fitness should perform at least 1 set of 8-12 reps, while novices aiming for strength should perform at least 1 set of 8-12 reps at 60% 1-RM.
- Resistance training should include at least 8 to 10 exercises involving each major muscle group, using different types of equipment and body weight exercises.
- Guidelines for resistance training programs for novice lifters include specific intensity, volume, velocity, frequency, and rest interval recommendations for different goals.
- Intermediate and advanced lifters also have specific intensity, volume, velocity, frequency, and rest interval recommendations tailored to their experience levels.
- Typical resistance training variables for novice to intermediate levels of training experience include frequency, intensity, repetitions, rest between sets, sets, tempo, and method of progression.
- Rest between each muscle group workout should be 48 to 72 hours, and major muscle groups should be trained at least twice a week to maximize muscle growth.
- The guidelines are adapted from evidence-based sources such as the ACSM Position Stand Progression Models of Resistance Training for Healthy Adults.
Exercise Physiology: Muscle Fiber Types and Resistance Training
- Muscles contain a mixture of slow-twitch and fast-twitch fibers, with the type of fiber used dependent on the type of work required.
- Slow-twitch muscle fibers are used in endurance activities such as jogging, while fast-twitch fibers are used in strength and power activities like sprinting.
- Resistance training increases muscle strength through hypertrophy of muscle fibers and muscle learning.
- Strength improvement with resistance training initially involves rapid neural adaptations, followed by muscle hypertrophy, with males showing greater hypertrophy due to testosterone.
- Hypertrophy, an increase in the size of muscle fibers, is achieved through resistance training by increasing muscle fiber size, connective tissue, and cell content of enzymes and energy storage.
- Resistance training increases the size and strength of both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, but preferentially increases the size of fast-twitch fibers.
- Muscle learning through resistance training improves the body's ability to activate and recruit motor units, increasing strength before muscle size increases.
- The motor unit, consisting of an alpha motor neuron and muscle fibers, is the functional unit of movement, with the number of motor units recruited determining force production.
- The amount of force developed by a muscle depends on the number of motor units recruited, the type of motor unit recruited, motor unit firing frequency, and the order of recruitment.
- Resistance exercise involves different muscle groups, including agonists (prime movers), antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers, each playing specific roles in movement.
- Different types of resistance training include isometric (static), dynamic (concentric and eccentric), and isokinetic (same speed or velocity) training.
- A specific example of resistance training, the biceps curl, involves the biceps brachii as the target muscle, with various other muscles acting as antagonists, synergists, and stabilizers during the movement.
