Hi, I'm a Brazilian PT student;
Can anyone please explain to me why the therory written below is not valid
??
Increased loading of the muscles does not necessarily produce hypertrophy.
It would appear that muscle hypertrophy is stimulated by increase in load,
tension or stress in the muscle. Thus, as long as a fairly large load is
imposed on a given muscle for a sufficient number of repetitions,
hypertrophy should increase (of course, at a decreasing rate over time), no
matter how the external load is applied. Let us now apply Newton's 2nd law
(F = m.a). It shows that a large force (or, tension) may be produced in a
muscle in two ways: (a) using a small load at high acceleration, or (b)
using a great load at low acceleration. So, if we produce a muscle tension
of 1000 units via either of the two methods for the same number of
repetitions, we should produce the same effect. After all, it is the
increase in muscle tension that counts, is it not? Numerous studies and
years of bodybuilding and weightlifting experience, however, show that this
is not true and that hypertrophy is not significantly produced by low
intensity, large acceleration training. Explain.
