Document Summary

4 ways we determine cv intensity: monitor the following, heart rate, oxygen consumption rate, metabolic equivalents (met, ratings of perceived exertion. Three types of contractions (isometric, concentric, eccentric) Force is produced with no change in muscle length. Force is produced and the muscle shortens. Involve the production of force while muscle is shortening a. ii. Strength decreases as the velocity of the movement increases: eccentric: b. i. Involve the production of force while muscle is lengthening b. ii. Little change in strength across velocity, unlike concentric muscle action. Hypertrophy, hyperplasia, neural adaptations: increase in muscle size could be a result of, enlargement of existing muscle fibers (hypertrophy, increase in the number of muscle fibers (hyperplasia, increase in muscle strength could be a result of, hypertrophy . Hypertrophy results from an increase in contractile protein content of skeletal muscle. Resistance training results in hypertrophy of both fast and slow twitch fibers.
