Power Weight Training and the Female Athlete
Abstract:
In brief: The development of optimal strength potential in American female athletes has been neglected. This study documents the response of 13 men and 13 women of college age to an intensive power lifting program designed to duplicate a program followed by competitive male lifters. The results identified two significant training concepts: (1) the full squat must be considered the cornerstone exercise, because it quickly stimulates overall strength increases in both men and women, and (2) the women had the same physiological ability as men to tolerate and adapt to the demanding physical stress of power lifting.

Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
