Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study measured muscular strength and perceived exertion of active men, 25 to 64 years old. The subjects were 80 members of a large YMCA, with 20 active men chosen from each of the following age groups: 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, and 55-64. Measurement of strength consisted of assessing the maximum weight that could be lifted, through a complete range of motion, 10 times (10-RM) for each of six strength exercises; leg press, leg extension, leg curl, decline press, seated rowing, and behind neck pulldown. Upon completion of the last strength test, each subject indicated a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) from the Borg scale. Total Body Strength (TS) represented the sum of the weight lifted in each of the six strength tests. To adjust for body size, TS was divided by the subject's Body Mass Index (BMI) and this ratio was termed Relative Strength (RS). The RS of the 55-64 age group was approximately 72 per cent of the value recorded by the 25-34 age group. This difference was significant (p = .0000) and linear (p = .0000). The means of the two older age groups were significantly different from the two younger groups, but not from each other. RPE for both the 25-34 and 35-44 age groups was significantly greater (p = .0072) than the RPE for either of the two older age groups; however, the difference between the means of any two age groups was less than 1.6, and the correlation between age and RPE was low ( -.3139). It was concluded that (1) RS was less for successively older age groups of active men. The difference between age groups followed a linear trend and by age 60, RS was 72 per cent of the value at age 30. (2) The RPE for the 10-RM strength tests was similar for all age groups.

Download or read book Men s Health Power Training written by Robert Dos Remedios and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2007-09-18 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the nation's elite strength and conditioning coaches presents a unique training program designed to help men achieve functional strength and muscular balance throughout their bodies For decades, the conventional measure of an individual's strength was the amount of weight he could bench press. Now, that measure is being challenged by expert trainers like Robert dos Remedios who argue that the variety of movement patterns used in functional training is the real key to getting bigger, stronger, and more powerful. In Men's Health Power Training, this acclaimed collegiate strength and conditioning coach describes in detail the methods he has used to develop hundreds of Division I scholarship athletes, including several current NFL players. The key features that make this book a standout in the fitness field include: • exercises geared toward functional strength that can be utilized in real-world situations, from playing sports to lifting furniture • training sessions that are short, intense, and highly effective • compound, multijoint exercises that replace the less-effective isolation exercises found in many fitness books • no-nonsense dietary information utilizing a new and innovative food pyramid developed by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition that will optimize strength gains, recovery, and physical progress

Download or read book Isokinetic Muscular Strength and Endurance of Active Men Over Age 50 Using Different Training Protocols written by Shawn D. Jordan and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the muscular strength and endurance of thirty-two men 51 to 79 years of age who engage in weight training (WT), aerobic training (AT), cross training (CT), or no training (S). The design employed in the study was a 2x2 between subjects factorial design with weight training and aerobic training as the two factors. A KIN/COM isokinetic dynomometer was used to test muscular strength and endurance of the dominant leg extensors and chest/shoulder complex. Strength of the leg extensors and chest/shoulder complex were measured as peak torque and peak force, respectively, at a velocity of 60 degrees/second. Endurance of the same muscle groups was measured as the percent decline over 50 continuous maximal contractions at a velocity of 180 degrees/second. A two-way between subjects ANOVA and independent t-tests were used to analyze the difference between mean muscular strength and mean muscular endurance for each group. A significant weight training effect was found for leg strength, with the WT and CT groups (Weight Trained groups) exhibiting a greater peak torque than the AT and S groups (Non-Weight Trained groups). Participating in one of three training programs was found to have a significant effect for chest and shoulder strength, with the WT, CT, and AT groups exhibiting a greater peak force than the S group. However, no significant difference was found between the WT, CT, and AT groups for chest/shoulder strength. The WT group was found to have significantly greater muscular endurance of the leg compared to the S group. No other training effects were observed between any of the groups for either muscular endurance test.

Download or read book Men s Health Workout War written by Jim Cotta and published by Rodale. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competition motivates men. And scientific research proves that competition and rewards motivate people to stick to exercise and diets. Former Los Angeles Lakers strength coach Jim Cotta harnesses men's passion for one-upmanship with an innovative get-in-shape program in Men's Health Workout War. This book features a highly effective, 60-day exercise and diet program broken up into quarters and an overtime round. The unique hook is that it makes the fitness instruction much more effective by turning it into a friendly weight-loss war that uses locker-room-style trash talking and cash prizes to drive dramatic results. Basketball great Shaquille O'Neal, who penned the book's foreword, used a "shirts off" competition against Charles Barkley on national television to spur his own body transformation, and Cotta was his weight-loss coach. That gave Cotta the idea to build a blueprint for grassroots fitness competitions, complete with multiple contest formats and advice on using social media to build excitement.
Download or read book Physiology of Strength written by Dr. Theodor Hettinger and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1961, “[T]his book is the result of ten years of research and experiment in the problems of muscle strength and muscle training at the Max-Planck-Institut für Arbeitsphysiologie, Dortmund, Germany supplemented by further work at the Lankenau Hospital, Division of Research, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There is provided the present status of these problems, and there is demonstrated how muscle strength may be built and maintained with a minimum of time and effort. “The methods used are adaptable, with suitable modification, to children, to average young people, to athletes in training, to sedentary workers and older persons who wish to maintain bodily strength, and to those who have undergone surgery and need rehabilitation of the muscle structure—in short, to anyone who wishes to develop and maintain good muscle tone. “A strong and well-built body not only has pleasing appearance, it permits the undertaking of arduous physical activities or active sports without undue fatigue, and with real enjoyment. “It is the author’s hope that in this age of fast living and nervous tension, when there often seems neither time nor place for extensive exercise, this book will assist those who wish to maintain bodily strength and fitness—simply, at home, without elaborate equipment—on a do-it-yourself basis. It should prove of special benefit to teachers of physical education and rehabilitation.”—THEODOR HETTINGER, M.D.
