Ch. 4 - ANSWER Endocrine system and the bodies response to resistance training
What is the endocrine system? - ANSWER Supports nervous system in homeostasis,
and has important roles in growth and sexual maturation
What is the general adaptation syndrome? - ANSWER stress-response pattern
proposed by Hans Selye that consists of three stages: alarm, resistance, and exhaustion
What is adaptation? - ANSWER increase in resistance to a stressor
What is a anabolic reaction? - ANSWER build up of molecules (aminos to proteins)
What is a catabolic reaction? - ANSWER breakdown of molecules (proteins to aminos)
What are hormones? - ANSWER chemical messengers or signal molecules that are
synthesized, stored, and released into the blood by endocrine glands.
Neuroendocrinology - ANSWER the study of interactions between the nervous system
and the endocrine system
intracrine signaling - ANSWER chemical messenger inside cell triggers response
autocrine signaling - ANSWER the target cell is also the secreting cell
, paracrine secretions - ANSWER chemical messengers that diffuse through the tissue
fluids to stimulate nearby target cells (Do not have to enter blood)
What is SHBG? - ANSWER sex hormone binding globulin
size principle - ANSWER principle stating the size of the motor neuron determines the
order of motor unit recruitment, with small-sized motor neurons being recruited first
(demand for magnitude of physiological response is related to need created by
activated motor units.)
What system other than the muscular is involved in the inflammatory process of
resistance training? - ANSWER the immune system (T and B cells)
Which of the following performance or physiological characteristics is not typically
exhibited during a state of nonfunctional overreaching within athlete populations? -
ANSWER Mood disturbances and depression
Among elite strength/power athletes, which of the following physical characteristics will
most likely be diminished after very prolonged periods of detraining due to the absence
of an anaerobic training stimulus? - ANSWER fast twitch fiber cross sectional area
Over many months and years, a number of physiological adaptations occur to many
systems that contribute to athletic performance in strength/power events following
chronic high-intensity resistance exercise. An elite athlete has completed 12 weeks of
heavy strength training. Which one of the following adaptations would least likely be
expected as a consequence of this anaerobic exercise? - ANSWER reduced
sarcoplasmic reticulum and T-tubule density
in which of the following athletes might you expect limited BMD levels as a consequence
of the force vectors and the physical demands associated with the given sport? -
ANSWER 19yo 800m freestyle swimmer with one year of dryland training
Ch. 6 - ANSWER adaptations to aerobic endurance training programs
