Document Summary
Systemic program of exercise for development of muscular system for clients of various ages and interests: strength. More important in younger indv: endurance, bone integrity. Holding submaximal contraction at specific joint angle. This causes an increased in intrathoracic pressure due to patients holding their breath during exercises. Increase in peripheral resistance due to the heart working harder to pump the heart: dynamic. Inversely related to # of reps: mean optimal: 60-100% Must vary in order to continue improvement. Multiple sets: designated sets (3) or one set of 3 exercises targeting 1 muscle group. Pyramiding sets: lighter weight & many reps. Subsequent inc. in weight & dec. in reps: used for experienced weight lifters. Compound set: 2 consecutive sets for single muscle group. Tri sets: 3 consecutive sets for single muscle group. Super sets: consecutive & immediate alteration fo sets b/w agonist & antagonist. Total weight lifted during session: weight lifted x # reps x sets.
