3 energy systems
Cardiorespiratory capacity
Muscular capacity
Flexibility
three primary components of fitness
• Decreased resting Heart Rate
• Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease
• Improved endurance
• Increased stroke volume & cardiac output
4 benefits of training the cardivoscular system
_____________ provides the ability to do physical work or perform a physical
task.
Energy
A stable state where all systems are in balance and the demand for energy is met
by available energy.
homeostasis
sarcomere
The smallest functional (contracting) unit of a muscle
isotonic concentric
muscle contracts with enough force to shorten the muscle
isotonic eccentric
muscle lengthens as it exerts force
isometric
static contraction - muscle exerts force to counteract opposing force, no change in
muscle length
false, the first few weeks give gains due to neural adaptation
true or false - the gains made over the first few weeks of muscle conditioning are
due to increased muscle fibre size.
resting length, potential cross bridges
A muscle can generate its greatest force at its ________________ _____________
because it's myofilaments are in a position where their ______________ are
exposed.
faster, slower.
So, always do the concentric part of the movement faster, but slow down the
eccentric movement to get the muscle closer to exerting its maximal force.
IN terms of the speed of movement, __________________ contractions exert
maximal force in a concentric movement, whereas ____________ contractions
exert more force in an eccentric movement.
increase in muscle fibre size
increase in contractile strength
improved muscular coordination and recruitment
improved tendon and ligament strength
increased bone strength (density)
5 benefits of muscle conditioning
O - prevent osteoporosis
C -improve strength for cardiovascular activity
S - improved sport performance
M - maintain mass (offset age-related sarcopenia)
I -reduces injury from overuse
W -helps body-weight maintenance
F -improves functionality for everyday activities
P - improves core strength and posture
