◉Local muscle endurance. Answer: Ability of muscle group involved
in a movement to sustain exercise
◉Benefits of Strength Training. Answer: Improved physical
performance (movements control/balance/agility, walking speed,
functional independence, ADL's)
Cognitive abilities
Self-esteem/mood
Prevention/management of T2D and decreasing visceral fat, blood
glucose regulation, improving insulin sensitivity
Enhance CV health by reducing RBP, LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides,
and increasing HDL
Promotes bone development
Reduce low back pain
Reverse specific aging factors
,◉Time required in resistance training. Answer: 30-60 min/week =
maximum risk reduction for all cause mortality
Risk of diabetes decreased until 60 min/week
◉Resistance training sex differences. Answer: Females have less
total and lean body mass, higher body fat percentage and a smaller
muscle fibre cross sectional area
Strength increases faster in upper body for women
◉Risks associated with strength training. Answer: Most occur with
free weights
Males, adolescents and older individuals
Low back and shoulders, knees
Mostly sprains and strains
Overuse: chronic use of near maximal workloads
Inadequate warm up
Training errors: loss of form, imbalances
Valasalva: increases BP and HR
DOMS: type 1 muscle strain 24-72 hours after activity more common
after eccentric
◉Resistance exercise frequency. Answer: Untrained individuals =
marked improvement once per week
, Trained individuals = improvements as a result of training volume,
frequency is less important
Volume = product of frequency, intensity, duration
◉Type of Resisted exercise recommendation. Answer: Multi-joint
exercises affecting more than one muscle group
Single joint can be included after multi
◉How to determine intensity for resistance training. Answer:
Depends on starting point, safety, and objectives (strength,
hypertrophy, endurance, power)
Relative load
◉Repetition Continuum. Answer: 80-100% 1 RM = strength = 1-5
reps
60-80% 1 RM = hypertrophy = 8-12 reps
Below 60% 1 RM = endurance = 15+ reps
◉Intensity individualization. Answer: Untrained: max intensity
>60% 1RM 8-12reps
Trained: max gains >80% 1RM 1-6reps
Hypertrophy: lifting to failure 6-20 reps
Power: fast movmt, 3-6reps 30-60% upper body, 0-60% lower body
