What are the key elements of muscle performance? (3) correct answers 1.) strength 2.) power 3.) endurance Resistance exercise correct answers any form of active exercise in which dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force applied manually or mechanically (aka resistance training) Muscle strength correct answers the ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on the demands placed on the muscle Second definition of muscle strength correct answers the greatest measurable force that can be exerted by a muscle or muscle group to overcome resistance during a single maximum effort Functional strength correct answers the ability of the neuromuscular system to produce, reduce, or control forces, contemplated or imposed, during functional activities, in a smooth, coordinated manner Potential Benefits of Resistance Exercise correct answers ■ Enhanced muscle performance: restoration, improvement or maintenance of muscle strength, power, and endurance ■ Increased strength of connective tissues: tendons, ligaments, intramuscular connective tissue ■ Greater bone mineral density or less bone demineralization ■ Decreased stress on joints during physical activity ■ Reduced risk of soft tissue injury during physical activity ■ Possible improvement in capacity to repair and heal damaged soft tissues due to positive impact on tissue remodeling ■ Possible improvement in balance ■ Enhanced physical performance during daily living, occupational, and recreational activities ■ Positive changes in body composition: ↑ lean muscle mass or ↓ body fat ■ Enhanced feeling of physical well-being ■ Possible improvement in perception of disability and quality of life Definition of strength training correct answers a systematic procedure of a muscle or muscle group lifting, lowering, or controlling heavy loads (resistance) for a relatively low number of repetitions or over a short period of time Most common adaptation to heavy resistance exercise correct answers an increase in the maximum force-producing capacity of muscle—that is, an increase in muscle strength, primarily as the result of neural adaptations and an increase in muscle fiber size
