Long Term Neuro-muscular Adaptations to resistance training

Work muscle above and beyond

what it is accustomed to

and it will adapt !

Overload may be an increase:• Resistance• Repetitions / Sets• Contraction velocity

Overload Principle

Adaptation and Specificity

Muscles adapt differently based on the type of overload placed on them.

Specify the training regimen to elicit the desired adaptations.

Specificity of Training

Training should “overload” the system / muscle type that the individual wishes to train! IE: Energy systems, muscle fiber

type, and sport specificity.

Fast Twitch (FG / Type II)

• HIGH anaerobic capacity• Type IIa (FOG)

vs. IIb• Fatigue easily• Fast contractile

velocity (Vmax)

Muscle Fiber Types

Slow Twitch (SO / Type I)

• Vmax = ½ Vmax of Fast twitch fibers

• High Mitochondria Density

• High no of [Aerobic Enzymes]

Muscle Fiber Types

Muscle Fiber Types and Performance

Genetics Specificity of Training Fiber Conversion

* Power = Force X Velocity *

Concentric: Muscle shortens w/ contraction

Eccentric: Muscle lengthens while it is contracted.

Static (Isometric): No

change in muscle length w/

contraction

Types of Contractions

Isotonic: Movement of a set resistance through a ROM

Isokinetic: Speed of contraction is controlled while subject exerts max effort

Isometric: Training using static contractions

Types of Training

Muscular fatigue is caused by decreases in pH brought about by buildup of lactic

acid.• LA builds up due to lack of O2 to buffer H+ ions resulting from glycolysis. These H+ combine with pyruvate to form LA.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness

• Caused by:• Minute tears in muscle tissue*• Acute inflammation*• Alteration in cell’s Calcium regulation*• Osmotic pressure changes (retention

of fluid)• Muscle spasms• Any combination of the above

Adaptations to Strength Training

Neural Adaptations (First 8-12 weeks) Learn Movement (Motor

Learning) Coordination Motor Unit Recruitment Coordination of Motor Unit Neuromuscular inhibition (GTO

, Muscle Spindles)

Muscle Fibers (Physical Changes) Increase in Size: Hypertrophy

(Particularly Type II) Directly proportional to the VOLUME

of overload Volume = Resistance X Repetitions

Increase in Number: Hyperplasia (?)

Muscular Adaptations

Neural Control• Initial increase in expression of strength

due to improved neural control of muscle contraction.

Neural Drive

Electromyographic studies indicate lower level in EMG activity to muscular force ratio. Muscle produced more force with lower amount of EMG activity. More force with less neural drive. The increase in maximal neural drive to muscle increases maximal strength.

Muscle Hypertrophy

Muscle enlargement is generally paralleled by increased muscle strength.

Increased muscle strength is NOT always paralleled by gains in muscle size.

Increase in cross-sectional fiber area of both ST and FT muscle fibers.

FT fiber area appears to increase to greater extent than ST fiber area.

Connective Tissue and Bone

Supporting ligaments, tendons and fascia strengthen as muscle strength increases.

Connective tissue proliferates around individual muscle fibers, this thickens and strengthens muscle’s connective tissue harness.

Bone mineral content increases more slowly, over 6- to 12-month period.

Muscle Fiber Conversion?

Studies are inconclusive??? Most show no change or very little Appears that IIb IIa w/ intense

aerobic training Largely genetic and relatively

stable (Absolute Number)

ATP – CP

• Will increase stores of ATP-CP

Anaerobic Glycolysis

• in levels of glycolytic enzymes

• Less LA produced, more efficient Cori cycle, LA tolerance

Energy System Adaptations

Capillary Supply

Increase number of capillaries in a muscle helps support metabolism and contributes to total muscle size.

Improved capillarization has been observed with resistance training by body builders but decreased in power and weight lifters.

Increase of capillaries linked to intensity and volume of resistance training.

Time course of changes in capillary density slow (more than 12 weeks).

Gains in the Beginning of a Program

Intramuscular Fuel Stores

• [ATP], [CP], and [Glycogen] Increase

VO2max

• Depends on training

Connective Tissue

• Ligament / Tendon Strength Increases

• Increase in connective tissue surrounding muscle fibers Increased bulk

Bone Mineral Density

Other Adaptations

Capillary Density

• Decreases w/ intense, high intensity ST

• No Change w/ circuit or low weight, high repetition ST

Mitochondrial Density

• Decreases due to CSA

Glycolytic Enzymes

• Increase

Other Adaptations

Hormonal Changes

• Acute increase in Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, and Cortisol ( Gluconeogenesis)

Cholesterol

• Total Cholesterol*• HDL-Cholesterol*

* (Results have been somewhat inconclusive)

Other Adaptations

Aerobic Training:

• IIb IIa• Hypertrophy of I and IIb fibers

• Increase in enzymes, mitochondria, & capillaries; especially in I (SO) fibers

Specificity of Training

Strength / Power Training:

• Hypertrophy of IIb Fibers

• Increased glycolytic enzymes

• Increased LA tolerance

• Increased contraction velocity?

Specificity of Training

Strength

Strength is a function of: Neural Factors Type of fibers engaged Anthropometrics/Biomechanics Size of Muscle (CSA) *

Split Routine:• Upper / Lower Body

Alternate Day:• Total body w/ 48 hrs. rest

Antagonist Split Routine:• Agonist / Antagonist muscle on opposing days.

Lifting Systems

WARM UP / COOL DOWN !

Start with large muscle / multi-joint exercise and progress to single-joint /

isolation exercises

Overload “Core” muscles last

Recommendations

Body Composition Adaptations

For the most part,– Small decreases in body fat– Minimal increases in total body mass– Minimal increases in FFM, about 0.3

kg/weekly

Recommendations

ALWAYS allow 48 hours for complete recovery !

Start slow ! NEVER overload a sore

muscle !
