Muscular Endurance - The ability of the body to produce low levels of force and maintain them for extended periods 1.

Type I motor unit types (smaller) are recruited before Type II (larger) b/c they are recruited by size, new clients have not established an ability to recruit a high percentage of motor units iii.

Type I muscle fibers and connective tissue are maximized by using high-repetition schemes with low to moderate volume/intensity in a postural position that challenges stability of the body, emphasis is on nervous system ii. Periodization - Division of a training program into smaller, progressive stages will help avoid this When stressor is too much for system to handle, stress fractures, muscle strains, joint pain, and emotional fatigue can occur 2. Exhaustion - Prolonged stress or stress that is intolerable and will produce exhaustion of distress to the system 1. Increased functional capacity to adapt to stressor such as increasing motor unit recruitment, more efficiently recruiting muscle fibers. Resistance Development Stage - The body increases its functional capacity to adapt to the stressor 1. Initially inefficient, the body was increase ability to meet these new demands ii. Creates need for increased oxygen and blood supply & increased neural recruitment to muscles 3. Person undergoing resistance training places his or her body under stress of increased amounts of force on bones/muscles/joints etc. Alarm Reaction Stage - the alarm reaction is the initial reaction to a stressor 1.

The kinetic chain's ability to adapt to stresses placed on it, Hans Selye showed 3 stages of response to stress i.
