Document Summary

Kin 202 unit 8 adaptation to endurance/aerobic training part 3. Increased in muscle power are specific to the velocity training was performed. If training increases vmax: peak power occurs at a higher velocity, mvc does not change at the beginning. If training increases mvc: peak power occurs at a lower velocity, mvc increases from the beginning. Increases in strength are specific to the exercise training technique. Strength performance is determined not only by the size of the involved muscles but also by the ability of the nervous system to appropriately active these muscles. No muscle growth in the first few weeks. Those who are novice with respect to resistance exercise will see early increases in strength in the absence of measurable hypertrophy (muscle girth or fibre csa) Unilateral resistance training: strength increases in both the trained and untrained limb, trained due to neural adaptations and hypertrophy, untrained due to neural adaptations only.
