KIN 219 Resistance Training Methods (introduction)

A set of flashcards covering key concepts related to muscular strength, power, endurance, and policies related to the PE 219 course.

Muscular Strength

The maximum force a muscle or muscle group can generate. ex: 1 rep max

Muscular Power

The rate at which work is performed, important in sports and activities like kicking, sprinting, jumping, and throwing.

power

is the product of force x velocity, indicating how quickly a force can be exerted in a movement.

Muscular Endurance

The capacity to perform repeated muscle contractions or to sustain a contraction over time. max reps at a percentage of 1 RM

Isotonic Contraction

Muscle contraction with movement, includes concentric (shortening) and eccentric (lengthening) contractions.

Concentric

muscle contractions that shorten the muscle while generating force.

eccentric

muscle contractions that lengthen the muscle while generating force.

Isometric Contraction

Muscle contraction without movement; the contractile force within the muscle is equal to the external resistive force.

Force

A push or pull that can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, described by the formula Force = Mass x acceleration.
