  1. Unit 6 Muscular strength and endurance

  2. Objectives • Understand the difference between Muscular strength and Muscular Endurance • Recall the three types of Skeletal muscle fibers • Recall types of resistance exercises • Apply the training principles to Muscular Strength & Muscular Endurance • Understand safety practices associated with weight training

  3. Terms • Atrophy – the wasting away or decrease in the size of a body part particularly muscle • Slow twitch fibers- red muscle fibers that are slow to contract but have the ability to continue contracting for long periods of time • Fast twitch fibers-white muscle fibers that contract quickly, allowing explosive muscular contractions • Intermediate fibers- muscle fibers that possess a combination of the fast and slow twitch fiber characteristics • Isotonic exercises- exercises in which a muscles lengthens and shortens through its full range of movement while lowering and raising a resistance

  4. Terms • Isokinetic exercises-exercises done with special machines that allow for maximum resistance over the complete range of motion • Repetition- the completion of a single, full-range movement of the body being exercised • Resistance – the force that opposes motion • Set- a group of repetitions preformed one after another

  5. Terms • Concentric contraction - this occurs when a muscle produces torque (a type of force) when the muscle shortens. • Eccentric contraction – this occurs when the muscle lengthens due to a reduction of torque or force. Basically, the muscle relaxes. • Isometric contraction - this occurs when there is a production of force without movement at the joint.

  6. Atrophy Use it or, lose it!

  7. Difference between MS & ME • Muscular Strength- • 1 repetition max. • Ex. Bench, squat, cleans, etc. • High intensity • Muscular Endurance- • Many reps over time • Ex. Push-ups, pull ups, weight training • Low to medium intensity

  8. Benefits of Strength Training • Good posture • Prevents lower back problems • Prevents post exercise injury • Reduces fatigue • Helps perform physical activity better • Feel and look better

  9. What is Muscle Tissue?

  10. How does it work?

  11. Types of Skeletal Muscle • Slow twitch • A.K.A. red fibers because they are filled with blood • Capable of contracting for a long period of time without tearing • Best suited for ME Aerobic - Ex. Distance runners • Intermediate • Combination of Slow and Fast twitch muscle fibers • Faster than Slow twitch but Slower than Fast twitch • Fast Twitch • Contract quickly • Allow for explosive muscle actions • Anaerobic – better for Muscular Strength • Fatigue easily • - Ex. Sprinters

  12. Types of Resistance

  13. Types of Resistance • Isometric: • Force against a stationary object • Ex. pushing on wall • Door frame test • Only improves strength at the position the exercise is preformed (you do not have the benefit of going through a range of motion)

  14. Types of Resistance • Isotonic • Weight is moved through a full range of motion • Most Common Form of Isotonic Exercise is wt. training • Muscle Shortens and Lengthens • May have strong points and weak points • - Ex. Bicep Curl • - 45 Weak Point • - 90 Strong Point • - 180 weakest Point

  15. Types of Resistance • Isokinetic: • Resistance is adjusted to force • Requires special machines • Allows you to provide muscle with max. resistance throughout the muscles entire movement at a constant rate • Usually seen in physical therapy

  16. Principles of Training • Overload - increases weight, repetitions, or time • Progression - when you are ready • Specificity - only expect results from the muscles you work

  17. Principles of Training Muscular Strength • F-every other day for each muscle group • I-heavy weights 60-90% 1 rep. max. • T- Low repetitions 3-5, 1-3 sets Muscular Endurance • F- Everyday for each muscle group • I- Low resistance 30-50% of 1 rep. max. • T- High Repetitions 12-20 reps. 1-3 sets

  18. Safety • USE A SPOTTER!!! • Warm up properly • Concentrate on Muscular Endurance first, once you have the hang of it then go to Muscular Strength. & max. • Make sure weight is secure, use Collars • Dry Hands • Do not hold your breath (could damage blood vessels) • Use correct form (prevents injury) • Balance – Feet should be shoulder width apart • Go through a complete range of motion to improve Flexibility
