Principles of Strength Training

Flashcards
0/7
Specificity
Tailoring the training to specific muscles or types of performance to elicit the desired type of strength gain and functional improvements.
Muscular Endurance
The ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period.
Recovery
The time taken for muscles to heal and adapt after a workout, which is crucial for strength gains and preventing overuse injuries.
Progressive Overload
Gradually increasing the stress on the body during exercise to continually challenge muscles and promote strength gains.
Maximal Strength
The maximum force that a muscle or muscle group can generate at one time, which is an important aspect of many sports and physical tasks.
Neuromuscular Adaptation
Improvements in strength and power owing to enhanced coordination and efficiency in muscle fiber recruitment, rather than increases in muscle size.
Muscle Hypertrophy
Enlargement of the muscle fibers due to resistance training, which includes both an increase in size of muscle fibers and, potentially, an increase in the number of muscle fibers.
