Types of resistance training
isometric, isotonic, isokinetic
isometric resistance training
no length change of the muscle cell; actin and myosin engage; used for weight lifting exercise and daily activity
advantages of isometric training
reguires no equipment, can be done anywhere, and builds strength rapidly
disadvantages of isometric training
in athletics, there is limited carryover to performance and can be potentially harmful to cardiovascular system
isotonic resistance training
muscle cell shortens with the exercise and then returns to normal resting length
concentric contraction
shortening phase of isotonic resistance training
eccentric contraction
lengthening phase of isotonic training; plyometrics and negatives
isokinetic resistance training
muscle activity performed at a constant angular velocity; torque and tension remain constant while muscles shorten or lengthen; used in therapy situations
assessing muscle fitness: strength
1 rep max; estimated (less likely to cause injuries; ex: how much one can lift in a sum of 3 max effort lifts); relative strength (strength in relation to body weight)
assessing muscle fitness: muscle power
# of repetitions in a given time period; speed or work rate in relation to a specific time period; ex: vertical jump
assessing muscle fitness: muscle endurance
# of repetitions to exhaustion; ex: crunches, push ups, etc
F.I.T concept for resistance training: Frequency
2-6 days a week; 2-3 most common; depends on the program; need sufficient recovery time (48-72 hours)
F.I.T concept for resistance training: Intensity
strength: 85-90% resistance, 2-6 reps, 5+ sets; power: 70% resistance, 8-12 reps, 2-3 sets; endurance: 60% resistance, 15-25 reps, 2-3 sets
F.I.T concept for resistance training: Time
dependent on # of exercises and # of sets
ASCM/CDC guidelines for exercise adherence
at least 30 mins of physical activity, at least of moderate intensity, preferably most days of the week (150 mins/week)
Magic 50 #
50% of adults don't meet the recommended physical activity levels; 50% who begin exercise training programs drop out within 6 months
Determinants of exercise adherence
personal/demographic; physical; psychological; knowledge/beliefs; program/environmental
self-motivation determinant
the higher the motivation, the higher the adherence
mood disturbance determinant
the higher the mood disturbance, the lower the adherence
perception determinant
the better your perception of yourself, the higher the adherence
social support determinant
the more support, the higher the adherence
Home Based P.A.
higher adherence rates for home-based exercise programs compared to group-based
Factor P
purposeful P.A. e.g. purpose of transportation, purpose of walking the dog, home maintainance, etc
preferred exertion
allows individuals to self select the exercise intensity
athletes v. mental health patients
inverse relationship between physical fitness and psychopathology; athletes characterized by iceberg profile
former athlete later in life
20 years later iceberg profile more like general population, but had positive mental health
psychological benefits
depression, anxiety, cognition, pain, and self-esteem
Depression chronic exercise
with mild-moderate depression exercise worked as well as therapy and drugs; severe usually requires professional treatment with exercise as an adjunct treatment
depression acute exercise
Koltyn et. al found that there were mood improvements after one workout in study conducted on a group of pregnant women
Anxiety chronic exercise
ex. interventions (3-12 weeks) resulted in the greatest reduction in anxiety symptoms (4-12 weeks); longer sessions are better than shorter sessions
Anxiety acute exercise
one exercise can reduce state anxiety
cognition chronic exercise
programs led to improvements in cogn. function (effects more prominent in individuals experiencing mild cogn. probs)
cognition acute exercise
learning and memory improved; cogn. function may be impaired during exercise performed at high intensities
Pain chronic exercise
long term programs reduced pain symptoms across a variety of pain conditions; program should be highly individualized; exercise-induced analgesia=reduction in pain
pain acute exercise
pain reduced following aerobic, resistance, and isometric exercises ex: in healthy individuals
koltyn et. al's findings about pain and exercise
examined changes in upper and lower body pain following an 8-week progressive strength training program; indicated a significant decrease in upper and lower body pain following strength training
Self-esteem chronic exercise
programs 8-12 weeks (aerobic and resistance) lead to improvements of self esteem; greater in people with lower baseline levels of self-esteem; sonstroem's model
sonstroem's model
P.A.-->physical fitness-->estimation<-->self-esteem
monoamines
norepinephrine and serotonin have been examined and exercise has been found to impact their brain levels in animals
exercise addiction
fits DSM-IV criteria for substance abuse
overtraining
systematically planned; significant increase in training volume; with proper taper, results in increased performance; STIMULUS
staleness
a drop in performance that's not improved with rest and reduction in training; research on endurance-based sports; RESPONSE
staleness in elite distance runners
60% women; 64% men
micronutrients
non-caloric: need them to extract calories from macronutrients; vitamins and minerals
vitamins
essential; non-caloric; needed in microscopic quantities; organic (contains carbon); solubility
fat soluble
body doesn't excrete; stores excess; deficiencies develop slowly; more risk of toxicity
water soluble
body excretes; doesn't store it; deficiencies develop rapidly; not a lot of toxicity risk
Vitamin A sources
preformed A-retinol; milk; provitamin or precursor-->carotenoids (orange/yellow fruits and veggies, dark green veggies)
Vitamin D sources
synthesize in skin from cholesterol using UV light; milk
Vitamin E sources
whole grains, wheat germ, seed oils
B-vitamin sources
proteins, whole grains, dark green leafy veggies
folate sources
leafy green veggies
B12 sources
animal food
minerals
inorganic; helps the bones and neurological transmissions
calcium sources
milk products; dark leafy green veggies (kale, collards, broccoli, etc); fortified food
iron sources
heme form: meat fish and poultry; non-heme form: plant food
increase iron absorption
MFP (meat fish poultry) factor; vitamin C foods
