Resistance Training Theory

1. principle referring to low-threshold motor units being recruited first
5. structure that minimal essential strain initiates new formation of
10. increase in cross-sectional area of muscle fibers
12. joint prone to injury due to being located between 2 long levers
14. it's insertion farther from the joint centre results in ability to lift heavier weights
15. muscle action where muscle lengthens
17. General Adaptation Syndrome phase initiated by introduction of new training stressor
18. age when muscle cross sectional area starts to decrease
20. loss of adaptations following cessation of training
22. when an untrained limb demonstrates training adaptations following training of the opposite limb (2 words)
23. increase in the number of muscle fibers
25. ratio of moment arm an applied force acts through to moment arm resistive force acts through (2 words)
27. explosive strength, time rate of doing work
28. intentional excessive training on a short-term basis

1. athlete size with higher strength-to-mass ratio
2. part of the bone feared could be damaged from resistance training in children (2 words)
3. the primary component of the second transition period in the traditional periodization model (2 words)
4. muscle action where muscle shortens
6. femur length resulting in less forward lean in the squat exercise
7. exercises that emphasize loading the spine
8. most important amino acid to include in protein ingestion for muscle protein synthesis
9. increases rate of firing to generate greater force (2 words)
11. substance, mechanical aid or training method that improves sport performance (2 words)
13. predominant energy system used during resistance training
16. the attachment of actin and myosin during muscle contraction
19. lever classification of the foot during plantarflexion (2 words)
21. supplement that increases capacity of ATP and energy produced
24. fuel stores that must be nutritionally replenished after a resistance training workout
26. muscle actively causing the movement
