Explain why a sports star may not possess the same levels of fitness in all areas of physical fitness?

Fitness is highly specific. There are 3 main regions, Strength, Stamina and Suppleness. And within these regions there are many sub categories.

eg. An athlete who works on their power will have to sacrifice their log distance endurance because they comprise of 2 different energy systems and muscle fibre types which have the ability to take more of their share (might start out as 50/50 but thru training you can change them to 60/40) if you train them for that.

That is why Michael Phelps is such a phenomon, his ability to sprint and stay the distance is un heard of! It is swimming and you will never see that in track as it is even more specific but still amazing!

But there are other things that must be considered. A person can only master one sport at a time. And as the saying goes "You can be a jack of all traits, but a master of none". So it is safe to say that no one can master 3 kinds of sport, but would only be considered highly athletic.

How does muscle build after a workout?

Answer

According to my personal trainer, when working out muscles are torn down, in a manner of speaking, and when the body repairs them, it repairs them back stronger. Kind of like how a callous forms on your skin.

Answer

A good diet is also key in helping to repair and promote muscle growth.


AnswerMuscle growth happens when you push the muscle you are exercising to the brink and just beyond it's present capacity. Then, while you sleep, the muscle fibers signal the brain that "This part of the body needs more muscle cells!" and the brain gets right on it. This also why intensity is always the most important part of any resistance training program. And you must incorporate proper durations of recovery (meaning, zero weight training) in between workouts for new muscle to properly build up. Otherwise your body will burn out and your muscles decrease.

12 year old bench press max?

There is probably no "average" bench press max because of that fact that it varies greatly depending on the upperbody strength of the individual. However for males in highschool, especially athletes, benchpress maxes have been achieved at massive weights such as over 500 lbs ( Sam Harvill Shiloh Christian Academy- 520 lb bench as highshool junior). There are no statistics that cover the "average" benchpress due to the fact that not everyone has attempted to max out on the bench. As a junior football player in highschool, my benchpress max is 320 lbs and I am one of the strongest in my school. If you are benching over 300 lbs and in highschool, you are in good shape but there are few who have gone beyond what was once considered impossible.

Do squats give you big calves?

Squats work your hamstrings and your quadriceps along with your gluteus maximus. If you are doing them correctly you should be pushing through your heels into the floor with ~80% of your force.

What are some good exercises for mid-section fat burning?

Running is probably the best. It burns fat and works your whole core and straightens your back, making you look taller and leaner. If running is too difficult, biking is probably the next best thing.
