The Team Physician and Conditioning of Athletes for Sports: a Consensus Statement The Team Physician and Conditioning of Athletes for Sports: A Consensus Statement DEFINITION William J. Kraemer, Ph.D., CSCS, Muncie, Indiana Joseph P. McNerney, D.O., Vallejo, California Conditioning is a process in which stimuli are created by an exercise program performed by the athlete to produce a higher level of function. Robert M. Pallay, M.D., Hillsborough, New Jersey Jeffrey L. Tanji, M.D., Sacramento, California GOAL GENERAL CONDITIONING PRINCIPLES The goal of conditioning is to optimize the performance of the athlete and minimize the risk of injury and illness.

    Muscular strength and power development to high and low resistance loads in trained individuals 8-week intervention Gordan Divljak THE SWEDISH SCHOOL OF SPORT AND HEALTH SCIENCES Master Degree Project 47:2017 Master Program: 2015-2017 Supervisor: Niklas Psilander Examiner: Carl Askling Abstract Aim The purpose of this study was to examine high versus low resistance training loads performed to muscular failure and its effect on muscular strength, power and strength endurance. Method 11 men and 3 women (age 26,4 ± 4,4 years, weight 79,9 ± 10,7 kg, height 179,4 ± 76 cm) were recruited to train for 2 days/week for 8-weeks in the leg press and leg extension. One leg was randomly allocated to a high load (HL) program performing 3-5 reps and the other leg was allocated to the low load (LL) program, performing 20-25 reps. All sets were executed to muscular fatigue. The participants were measured for 1RM strength, strength endurance and muscular power before and after the study. Results HL and LL leg significantly improved strength gains in the LP exercise by 20,3%, respectively 21%, P < 0,001, but no difference was noted between legs P = 0,876. HL displayed significant increases in the LE exercise by 10,3%, P < 0,05, while no significant improvement occurred for the LL leg, -2,7%, P > 0,05. Strength remained insignificantly similar between protocols P > 0,05. The mean power results indicated no significant improvements within protocols, HL P = 0,309, LL P = 0,112. There was also no significant difference between the two protocols after the intervention P = 0,646.

Define the properties, functions, and roles of skeletal muscle. 2. Describe the gross and microscopic anatomical structure of muscles. 3. Explain the differences in muscle fiber arrangement, muscle volume, and cross-section as it relates to the output of the muscle. 4. Describe the difference in the force output between the three muscle fiber types (types I, IIa, IIb). 5. Describe the characteristics of the muscle attachment to the bone and explain the viscoelastic response of the tendon. 6. Discuss how force is generated in muscle. 7. Describe how force is transmitted to bone. 8. Discuss the role of muscle in terms of movement production or stability. 9. Compare isometric, concentric, and eccentric muscle actions. 10. Describe specific considerations for the two joint muscles. 11. Discuss the interaction between force and velocity in the muscle. 12. Describe factors that influence force and velocity development in the muscle, including muscle cross-section and length, the length–tension relationship, neural activation, fiber type, the presence of a prestretch, and aging. 13. Explain the physical changes that occur in muscles as a result of strength training and elaborate on how training specificity, intensity, and training volume influence strength training outcomes. 14. Describe types of resistance training and explain how training should be adjusted for athletes and nonathletes. 15. Identify some of the major contributors to muscle injury, the location of common injuries, and means for prevention of injury to muscles.
