Types of Contractions/Movements Type Definition Example Isotonic Force remains constant through range of motion -improves motor performance Biceps curls using free weights Isometric Constant muscle length and tension that is proportional to the external load -Causes muscle hypertrophy Pushing against an immovable object Concentric Shortened muscle and tension that is proportional to the external load Biceps curl with elbow flexing Eccentric Force remains constant as muscle lengthens.Most efficient method of strengthening muscle Biceps curl with elbow extending Isokinetic Muscle contracts at a constant velocity through varied resistance. -often used to objectively evaluate muscle strength during injury rehabilitation. Require special machines (e.g, Cybex). Plyometric Rapid eccentric-concentric shortening.Good training for sports that require power. Box jumps Open chain Distal end of extremity moves freely Seated leg extensions and curls Closed chain Distal end of extremity is fixed Squats with planted foot Anaerobic vs. Aerobic Anaerobic Glycolytic Aerobic Energy source ATP-CP Lactic acid Oxidative phosphorylation (Krebs cycle) Glycogen and fatty acids Muscle type Type II (A, B) muscle -fast twitching c Type I muscle -slow twitching Exercise duration 10 seconds of high intensity 2-3 minutes endurance Note -Type IIA: aerobic and anaerobic -Type IIB: primarily anaerobic, last to be recruited -low ATP yield-lactic acidosis after several minutes -high yield ATP-requires O2 -"slow red ox muscles"-first to be recruited Exercise Programs Definitions Periodization strength and conditioning term for planned variation in intensity and duration of a specific workout over a predefined duration of time Dynamic exercise improves cardiac output by increasing cardiac stroke volume Endurance (aerobic) Training results in changes in circulation and muscle metabolism contractile muscle adapts by increasing energy efficiency increases in mitochondrial size, number, and density increases in enzymes involved in Krebs cycle, fatty acid processing, and respiratory chain over time, increased use of fatty acids > glycogen over time, oxidative capacity of Type I, IIA, and IIB fibers increase percentage of more highly oxygenated IIA fibers increases Aerobic Threshold: level of effort at which anaerobic energy pathways become significant energy producer Anaerobic (lactate) Threshold: level of effort at which lactate production > lactate removal Strength Training typically high-load, low-repetition activities results in increased cross-sectional area of muscle due to muscle hypertrophy hyperplasia (increased number of fibers) less likely results in increased motor unit recruitment +/- improved synchronization of muscule activity maximal force production is proportional to muscle physiologic cross-sectional area adolescents can safely participate in appropriate strength training programs gains in strength largely due to improved neuromuscular activation and coordination rather than muscle hypertrophy gains for adolescents are reversible if training is discontinued Aquatic training Benefits decreases joint stress by lowering vertical component of the ground reaction force through buoyancy unique advantages in cardiorespiratory fitness when compared to land training less abrupt increases in heart rate increased oxygen consumption prevents secondary injuries to the lower limb Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction (EILO) Commonly mistaken for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in athletes Epidemiology gender -
