- Maximal Strength
- Definition
- maximum force the neuromuscular system can exert in a single contraction
- Test
- Factors
- Cross-sectional area
- more newtons of force per square centimetre= greater force of contraction
- Fibre type
- Greater percentage of FG and FOG
- Fast twitch have large motor neurones forming large motor units = high force of contraction
- Greater percentage of FG and FOG
- Gender
- males have higher muscle mass and cross sectional area, due to having higher testosterone levels
- Age
- Females peak: 16-25 Males peak:18-30 Then declines with age
- decrease in efficiency of neuromuscular system, elasticity and testosterone = v muscle mass
- Cross-sectional area
- Training
- Weight Training
- Multi -Gym
- series of specialised exercise machines with a range of resistances
- leg press/bench press
- Advantages
- Safe
- Goof for general strength
- Reps and sets easily adjusted
- Disadvantages
- not always specific to movement patterns in sporting activites
- series of specialised exercise machines with a range of resistances
- Free weighs
- Non mechanical
- advantages
- flexible reps and sets and resistance
- isometric muscle work improves balance and co-ordination
- improved specificity
- Disadvantages
- not as safe
- not recommended for less experienced individuals
- Multi -Gym
- F= 2-5 times per week ( 2 rest)
- I=85% 1RM
- T= 1-5 reps, 2-6 sets
- recovery between sets: 4-5 mins
- Recovery: 1:3+
- recovery between sets: 4-5 mins
- T= 1-5 reps, 2-6 sets
- I=85% 1RM
- Energy sys-tap-pc
- Weight Training
- Adaptations
- Increased recruitment of motor units and FG and FOG
- Increased force of contraction
- Increase strength of tendons and ligaments
- increase joint stability, decrease risk of injury
- Increased muscle hypertrophy
- increase size of FG fibres
- increased enzyme activity
- increased efficiency of anaerobic energy production
- reduce onset of fatigue
- decrease inhibition of stretch reflex
- increase force of contraction, increase stretch of antagonist
- OVERALL:
- increased strength, speed and power output
- increased muscle mass, increase intensity of performance
- increased anaerobic threshold, delayed OBLA
- Increased recruitment of motor units and FG and FOG
- Definition
- Disadvantags
- only forearm muscles are assessed
- not sport specific
- advantages
- flexible reps and sets and resistance
- isometric muscle work improves balance and co-ordination
- improved specificity
