Resistance Training Adaptations

Gains are lost when over load is removed

• Undoing

• Reversibility

• Specificity

• Switcharoo

Training effect occurs when a physiological system is exercised at a level beyond which it is normally accustomed to

• Doing More

• Specificity

• Progression

• Overload

True or False: The ability to make repeated contractions against a submaximal load is referred to as muscular strength

• True

• False

True or False: As a beginner to RT, you can see large increases in muscular strength early on, but it will plateau

• True

• False

Which is NOT a neural adaptation to resistance training?

• Increased Firing Rates

• Increased Neural Drive

• Hypertrophy

• Enhanced Motor Unit Synchronization

True or False: Increased neural inhibitions in the motor cortex and spinal cord results in increased recruitment of motor units (perhaps related to GTO)

• True

• False

Which of the following are types of adaptations to resistance training? (Pick 2)

• Neural

• Super Huge Muscles

• Decreased Firing Rates

• Hypertrophy

True or False: Aging results in a gain of muscle mass. (in adults)

• True

• False

True or False: 90% of the increase in muscle size is due to hyperplasia

• True

• False

True or False: Muscle hypertrophy occurs within 2 weeks of resistance training

• True

• False
