General information and requirements: Students should be prepared to participate in an active learning environment (including exercise), and should be dressed accordingly with appropriate sneakers and clothing for exercise Grading: Exam 1: 35% (175 Points) Exam 2: 35% (175 Points) Project 1: 25% (125 Points) Class participation and attendance: 5% (25 Points) TOTAL POINTS 450 to 500 A 425 to 449 B+ 400 to 424 B 375 to 399 C+ 350 to 374 C 300 to 349 D 000 to 299 F Exams: There will be two written exams. Make up exams will only be given for emergency situations and with proper documentation. You must notify the instructor in advance if you will be missing the exam. Independent course project: Develop individual strength training program and document four- week individual workout regimen. The purpose of this project is to integrate physical activity into daily routines to improve overall health and wellness, show accountability for physical fitness, and to develop an individually- tailored exercise program using principles and theories covered during the semester. Several examples will be given in the class along with some do’s and don’ts to help students develop an evidence-based program. More detailed instruction will follow in class. Attendance: Students are expected to attend all classes and participate in all activities., Class participation is a part of your grade. I realize that certain factors and situations may arise which might lead you to rethink whether or not your attendance needs to be a part of your day but, if you to choose to skip class at any time, realize that this will impact your grade and it is your responsibility to get the notes from those missed classes. To receive a full 25 points for participation you must attend and participate in every session. Missing class without notification or documentation will reduce attendance by 1.75 points per unexcused absence. Course outline: 1.

First Timers You may wish to consult with a degreed health and fitness specialist, such as an MHealthy Health and Fitness Specialist, to learn safe and effective techniques before beginning a strength training program. WARM-UP (3-5 MINUTES) A warm-up prepares your body for exercise. It slowly raises your heart rate and increases blood flow to the working muscles. This improves muscle function and lowers your risk of injury. How do I warm-up? Choose an aerobic activity (for example: walking) at an easy pace for 3-5 minutes. TYPES OF EQUIPMENT Weight machines, free weights, resistance bands, and stability balls are all types of equipment that provide resistance to help increase strength. Choose equipment that is going to be the most convenient and enjoyable for you. ORDER AND PROGRESSION OF EXERCISES Work the largest muscle groups first then proceed to the smaller groups (see below). Make sure to include all major muscle groups to avoid strength imbalances.

  • Effect of Progressive Calisthenic Push-Up Training on Muscle
    EFFECT OF PROGRESSIVE CALISTHENIC PUSH-UP TRAINING ON MUSCLE STRENGTH & THICKNESS A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Major Department: Health, Nutrition, and Exercise Sciences March 2016 Fargo, North Dakota North Dakota State University Graduate School Title Effect of progressive calisthenic push-up training on muscle strength & thickness By Christopher Joseph Kotarsky The Supervisory Committee certifies that this disquisition complies with North Dakota State University’s regulations and meets the accepted standards for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: Kyle Hackney, Ph.D. Chair Bryan Christensen, Ph.D. Jason Miller, MS Approved: 3/24/2016 Yeong Rhee, Ph.D. Date Department Chair ABSTRACT Calisthenics, a form of resistance training, continue to increase in popularity; however, few studies have examined their effectiveness for muscle strength improvement. The purpose of this study was to compare progressive calisthenic push-up training (PUSH) to free weight bench press training (BENCH) as techniques to develop muscle strength and thickness. Twenty-three healthy, moderately trained males (mean ± SD: age 23 ± 6.8 years) were randomly assigned to PUSH (n=14) and BENCH (n=9), and trained three days per week for four weeks. Muscle thickness, seated medicine ball put, one repetition max bench press (1RM), and push-up progression (PUP) were measured pre- and post-training. Results revealed significant increases in 1RM (p<0.001) and PUP (p<0.05) for both groups post-training. The increase in PUP, however, was significantly greater for PUSH (p<0.001).

Throughout the guide you will find links to the Runtastic blog where you can always get more detailed advice and other useful tips. The potential of bodyweight training is often underrated. Not everyone is aware of how many different goals can be achieved with this kind of training when it’s done right. Most importantly – using your own body as resistance is convenient and empowering. Bodyweight training is a great choice for many: • Beginners: Training with your own body as resistance can be a great stepping stone to develop initial mobility, stability, and strength for other training systems and sports.

  • Muscle Hypertrophy and Muscle Strength: Dependent Or Independent Variables? a Provocative Review Carlo Reggiani (1,2), Stefano Schiaffino (3)
    Muscle hypertrophy and muscle strength Eur J Transl Myol 2020; 30 (3): 9311. doi: 10.4081/ejtm.2020.9311 Muscle hypertrophy and muscle strength: dependent or independent variables? A provocative review Carlo Reggiani (1,2), Stefano Schiaffino (3) (1) Department of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Padova, Padova, Italy; (2) Science and Research Centre Koper, Institute for Kinesiology Research, Koper, Slovenia; (3) VIMM - Venetian Institute of Molecular Medicine, Padova, Italy This article is distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial License (CC BY-NC 4.0) which permits any noncommercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author(s) and source are credited. Abstract The question whether the muscle hypertrophy induced by resistance training, hormone administration or genetic manipulation is accompanied by a proportional increase in muscle strength is still open. This review summarizes and analyses data obtained in human and rodent muscles in studies that have monitored in parallel changes in muscle size and changes in muscle force, measured in isometric contractions in vivo, in isolated muscles ex vivo (in rodents) and in single muscle fibers. Although a general positive relation exists among the two variables, a number of studies show a clear dissociation with increase of muscle size with no change or even decrease in strength and, vice versa, increase in strength without increase in size. The possible mechanisms of such dissociation, which involves neural motor control and/or cellular and molecular adaptations of muscle fibers, are briefly discussed. Key Words: skeletal muscle, hypertrophy, resistance training, contractile force. Eur J Transl Myol 2020; 30 (3): 9311.
