Kinesiology 2230A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 33: Lean Body Mass, Myocyte, Weight Training
Document Summary
Graph 1 :there"s a straight line relationship between how fast they go and their. The faster they go at particular o2 uptake, efficiency is higher and technique is better. Relationship is a straight line that shoes high correlation. Graph 3: lean body was vs. how fast athletes go. Lean body mass (muscle) shows high correlation between how much. Lean body mass (muscle) shows high correlation between how much muscle they have and performance. Key point: up to firth 2 months of training most strength is generated. Most change associated with neuro factors: muscle fibre recruitment, technique, synchrony of activation. Hypertrophy: after a couple months you see increase in cross-sectional area; increased # of cross- bridges in muscle fibres --> increased force. Strength- training induced changes are movement, speed and load specific. You have to make sure you"re doing the same movements. Trained at 15 degrees angle they saw the greatest improvement.
