Measuring Muscular Performance |
Tensiometry, dynamometry, 1-RM testing with weights And computer-assisted force and work-output determinations including isokinetic-type measurements provide the most common methods to measure muscular performance |
|
Allometric Scaling |
Offers another method to compare physiologic variables among individuals |
|
Optimal overload training to strengthen muscles involves 3 factors: |
1) increasing resistance (load) to muscle action 2) increasing speed of muscle action 3) combining increased load and speed |
|
Strength Gains |
An overload between 60-80% of a muscle's force-generating capacity induces strength gains |
|
3 major strength-training systems include: |
-progressive resistance weight training -isometrics -isokinetic training (offers potential to generate max force throughout the full ROM at different angular velocities of limb movement) |
|
Resistance training programs |
Uses relatively moderate concentric muscle actions improve children's strength without adverse effects on bone, muscle or connective tissue |
|
Periodisation |
Divides a distinct period or macrocycle of resistance training into smaller mesocycles; these subdivide into weekly microcycles. This minimises staleness and overtraining effects to maximize peak performance that coincides with competition |
|
Resistance Training for Competitive Athletes |
Optimises muscular strength, power and hypertrophy. |
|
Concurrent Training for muscular strength and aerobic capacity |
Inhibits magnitude and strength improvement compared with training only for muscular strength |
|
Pyometric Training |
Emphasizes the inherent stretch-recoil characteristics of the neuromuscular system to facilitate muscle power development |
|
Functional movement training |
Via body weight-supported exercise offers a unique approach to sports training |
|
Core training |
Remains an integral part of sports training and physical conditioning to improve muscular balance, muscular strength and trunk stabilization |
