Principle of Specificity - The body will adapt to demands placed on it.
Caffeine effects... - CNS, heart, and skeletal muscles
Risk factor for
... [Show More] tendonitis - Cold weather
As stretch intensity increases, - frequency of nerve impulses increases
Acute effects occur - Shortly after ingestion
Rate Coding - Firing frequency of motor units
Structural efficiency - Capability if the body to overcome forces to maintain alignment of the musculoskeletal system, allowing one to maintain center of gravity.
The highest intensity of muscle activation, while performing Olympic lifts occurs at the.. - Hip extensors
During which stage of the stress response will the body experience less soreness and improvement in activity? - Resistance Development
What is involved in the postural control system? - Proprioceptive, Vestibular, Visual
How many meals should an athlete eat each day? - 4-6 small meals
Detect muscle length - muscle spindles
detect pain - nociceptors
Detect limit in a rang of motion - ruffini afferants
Detect joint rotation - skin receptors
Rate of force production - Exert max force in a short amount of time
Olympic lifts should be inserted into which phases of the OPT model? - 5/6
posture - the capability to maintain alignment within the human movement system via dynamic control
Main reason cardiac output is improved with training - increase in stroke volume
What will improve rate of force production - plyometrics: rapid exchange between eccentric and concentric contractions
power exercises
Olympic lifts occur in what planes - frontal and saggital
The majority of strength gains occur within - the first 12 weeks
As intensity of exercise increases, - respiratory quotient increases
The number of foot contacts measures - training volume
speed is - rate of performance
As intensity increases, the number of repetitions that can be performed - decreases
Preferred location to take pulse - radial pulse
measures horizontal speed - 5-0-5
Measures reaction capabilities in multiple planes - T-test
Predicts VO2 Max - 20-m shuttle test
Measures lateral speed - Pro lane agility drill
Synergistic dominance - stabilizing muscles compensating for weak primary movers
strength - Ability to exert force against resistance
Stretch shortening cycle - eccentric contraction followed quickly by a contraction
Flexibility - optimum range of motion to enhance functional capabilities
Elastic potential energy is stored - in the eccentric phase
Vitamin C in athletes will - Reduce Muscle soreness
Waste of aerobic ATP production is - Carbon Dioxide and water
Functional unit of a muscle - Sarcomere
Vegetarians should supplement which vitamin? - b12 [Show Less]
