Strength and resistance training

Benefits of resistance training

enhanced muscle performance

increased strength of connective tissues

increased bone mineral density

decreased joint stress during activity

reduced risk of soft tissue injury during activity

improved capacity for healing and tissue remodeling

changes in body composition (fat to fat free mass ratio)

enhanced well being and quality of life

Muscle performance

The capacity of a muscles to do work

needed for functional movement

work=force x distance

3 key elements of muscle performance

1. Strength

2. Power

3. Endurance

, Strength

-how much force muscle produces through contraction

assessments:

1. Functional tasks ex: sit to stand

2. Strength-MMT

3. Maximal force

Interventions:

-strength aka resistance training

-systematic

-raise, lower, control, hold

Power

-work of muscle produced per unit of time

-rate

-Power=work/time

-time factor"

anaerobic: short burst, short time period

aerobic: repeated bursts, lower intensity

interventions:

strength first

increase force or increase distance

Power equation

Power= (force x distance)/time

Endurance
