Download or read book The Effects of Two Different Resistance Training Protocols with Similar Volume on Non uniform Muscle Hypertrophy written by Vincent L. Bendotti and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resistance training programs utilize variables such as exercise volume, intensity, muscular activation, and tension in order to obtain specific hypertrophic adaptations. The challenge of designing a hypertrophy-centric program is understanding the non-uniform adaptations of skeletal muscle. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to observe the impact of two volume-equated, whole body exercise protocols over 9 weeks utilizing 9 different compound exercises on non-uniform muscle adaptations. METHODS: Fourteen (age = 20.9 +/- 1.3 years; body mass = 84.0 +/- 11.1 kg; fat free mass = 67.3 +/- 5.7 kg), well-trained men randomly assigned to a hypertrophy based protocol (HG) or a strength based protocol (SG). The HG performed 3 sets of 10 repetitions, with a rest period of 90 seconds between sets (n = 8). The SG performed 7 sets of 3 repetitions with 3 minutes of rest between sets (n = 6). Pre, mid, and post testing of proximal and distal muscle thickness measurements (MT) were taken on each subject's forearm flexors (FF), forearm extensors (FE), rectus femoris (RF), and vastus lateralis (VL). Each measurement was taken on the right side of the body to develop consistency across all of the subjects. RESULTS: After 9 weeks, statistically significant differences between SG and HG at both the Proximal Forearm Flexors (PFF) and Distal Forearm Extensors (DFE). There were significant differences in the trajectory of change between the groups (p = .040) and throughout pre-, mid- and post-testing (p = .034, .001, .000) of the PFF. Between the groups, DFE was statistically different at post-testing (p = .036) and for overall trajectory of change ( p = .040). However, there were no statistically significant differences between groups in the other muscle thickness measurements. CONCLUSIONS: When a strength and hypertrophy full-body resistance training programs are equated for volume, non-uniform hypertrophy occurs in the distal FE and proximal FF MT sites of the forearm, but fails to be seen in the quadriceps MT sites.

Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Download or read book The Effects of Two Different Resistance Training Protocols with Similar Volume on Muscular Strength Muscle Thickness and Fat free Mass written by Cory D. Worthey and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manipulation of exercise volume, intensity, and order is associated with producing different musculoskeletal changes. These resistance training program variables affect mechanical tension and metabolic stress associated with resistance training, therefore affecting strength and hypertrophic outcomes. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of two different volume-equated total body exercise protocols over 9 weeks using compound exercises on muscular strength, muscle thickness, and fat-free mass. METHODS: Eight well-trained men were randomly assigned to a hypertrophy-style protocol (HG) performing 3 sets of 10 repetitions with 90 seconds rest between sets (n = 4) or a strength-style protocol (SG) performing 7 sets of 3 repetitions with 3 minutes rest between sets (n = 4). All subjects underwent pre-, mid-, and post-testing in body composition analysis via air displacement plethysmography and muscle thickness ultrasound imaging of four different sites: forearm flexors (FF), forearm extensors (FE), rectus femoris (RF), and vastus lateralis (VL). Imaging was done at two separate areas of each muscle site: proximal and distal. One repetition maximum (1RM) testing for the barbell back squat and barbell bench press was also conducted. RESULTS: After 9 weeks, maximal back squat increased 16.1 +/- 9.2% for SG and 5.5 +/- 1.7% for HG with no significant differences observed in SG (ES = 0.84) compared to HG (ES = 0.31) (p = 0.70). For the bench press, an increase of 16.0 +/- 13.1% was observed in SG and 6.9 +/- 2.7% for HG with no significant differences observed in SG (ES = 0.72) compared to HG (ES = 0.36) (p = 0.17). Results for muscle thickness measurements are as follows: proximal FF = 2.87 vs. -6.35%, distal FF = -0.55 vs. -3.72%, proximal FE = 7.99 vs. -2.49%, distal FE = 19.42 vs. -2.05%, proximal RF = 3.89 vs. -0.04%, distal RF = 4.64 vs. -4.85%, proximal VL = -2.81 vs. 8.84%, distal VL = 10.30 vs. 5.34%. With the exception of the proximal forearm flexors, there were no significant differences in muscle thickness measurements between groups. There were no significant differences in changes to fat-free mass between groups or over the course of the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: When training volume is roughly volume-equated, a total-body exercise protocol produces changes in maximal strength, most measures of muscle thickness, and fat-free mass that are not significantly different between strength- and hypertrophy-style resistance training routines.
