– Recall the general recommendations for resistance training frequency. -Recall the general recommendations for recovery between resistance training sessions (for similar muscle groups).
– Describe the relationship between resistance training frequency and recovery between sessions.
– Compare and contrast acute variables and demographic data that will and will not contribute to longer recovery times.
– Discuss how acute variables and demographics influence the time course of post-exercise blood chemistry.
– Apply research findings regarding the optimal training frequency for improving body composition, and make recommendations for young and older adults.
– Explain the relationship between resistance training frequency, hypertrophy, and resistance training experience.
– Defend why post-exercise set performance (strength, power, total work) should be used as an indicator of optimal rest between sessions. -Recall the effects of training frequency and EMG activity, bone mineral density, blood pressure, functional and psychosocial improvements, and recovery between sessions.
