READ THE CASE STUDY BELOW AND ANSWER ALL 4 QUESTIONS LINKED TO THE CASE STUDY. Coach Lee designs a resistance training session for a collegiate shot putter. She begins with a needs analysis: movement analysis shows full-body muscular involvement with a 45-degree release point, and research cited in the lecture (Kyriazis et al.) shows a 0.81 correlation between quadriceps activation and shot put performance. She then selects compound movements and places them FIRST in the session, before isolation work. The session includes a strength block of 3 sets x 3 reps at 92% 1-RM with 4-minute rests, a hypertrophy block of 3 sets x 10 reps at 70% 1-RM with 60-second rests, and power work at 50% 1-RM. Answer the following based on the lecture. Based on the needs analysis evidence, which muscle group should Coach Lee’s program emphasize for the shot putter? Why did Coach Lee place the compound exercises before the isolation exercises in the session? The strength block (3 x 3 at 92% 1-RM) falls in the 1-5 repetition range. What is the purpose of training in this range? Are the prescribed rest periods (4 minutes for the strength block, 60 seconds for the hypertrophy block) consistent with the lecture’s recommendations? Explain briefly.
