Strength and Hypertrophy

Which of the following is not a proposed mechanism of muscle hypertrophy?

Muscle damage

Neural drive

Metabolic stress

Mechanical tension

Which of the following exercises is an example of a ‘hinge’ pattern?

Romanian deadlift

Split squat

Leg press

Front squat

What is 'cross education'?

Training only one limb can result in an increase in strength in the untrained limb

Transferability of training from one pattern to another

The force produced when both limbs are contracting together is less than the sum of the forces they produced when contracting unilaterally

Motor units are recruited in order according to their recruitment threshold and firing rate

What is a satellite cell?

A repartitioning agent responsible for increasing fat usage for fuel

A protein made by the liver that increases inflammation in the body

A myogenic stem cell that, when stimulated, fuses to existing muscle fibres and provides the materials needed to repair and generate new muscle tissue

A proprioceptor located in the tendon adjacent to the myotendinous junction.

Which of the following is not a neural adaptation to resistance exercise?

Increased rate coding / neural firing rate

Increased muscle cell hypertrophy

Reduced Golgi tendon organ sensitivity

Increased motor unit synchronisation

At what point does an athlete transition from the strength association to the strength reserve phase?

When they can squat 0.5 times their own body mass

When they can squat 1.0 times their own body mass

When they can perform a body weight squat

When they can squat 2.0 times their own body mass

Which biochemical is a negative regulator (limiter) of muscle mass?

Myostatin

Testosterone

MToR

AkT

After 4-5 years of structured resistance training, how much (relative to body mass) should an 11–12-year-old athlete be able to lift in the back squat?

2.0

0.7

3.0

0.0

Which of the following statements would define a countermovement jump?

The greatest amount of force applied to an unyielding object

The expression of force produced maximally against no additional load
