Document Summary
The first step to designing a resistance-training program is performing a needs analysis. For optimal performance: resistance training program be individualized in accordance with the specific needs of the sport/activity and of the athlete. Exercises: single joint, multiple joints, large muscle group, small muscle groups. Several forms of resistance training can be utilized when developing a sport-specific conditioning program. Larger muscle group exercises invoke significantly greater metabolic responses than smaller muscle group exercises. Important concept to consider in designing is the agonist/antagonist/stabilizer relationship. Utilization of agonist & antagonist muscle group to prevent muscle imbalances and minimize the risk of injury. Affects force production and fatigue rate during a resistance exercise session. Load: amount of weight lifted or resistance with which one exercises. Exercise order - muscle action length of the rest-interval inverse relation between the load and the maximal number of reputation performed: as load increase, number of repetition that can be performed decreases.
