1 Davenport Musculoskeletal Physiology Flashcards
4 Skeletal improvements to enhance speed
Very limb elongation
Much proximal mass distribution
Many Disproportional growth of distal bones
Such Increase spine flexibility
Wow.
Speed =
Distance traveled/time
Distance =
Stride length
Time=
Stride frequency
What does proximal mass distribution do to increase speed
Increase stride frequency
What does disproportional growth of distal bones do to increase speed
Elongates limb and increases frequency
What are consequences of adaptations to increase speed
Change in stance
Loss of digits
Loss of manipulative skills
What is the least movable part of muscle
Origin
What are the 3 muscle types
Parallel
Fusiform
Fanshaped
Were would you find a parallel muscle
Hyoid
Where would you find a fusiform muscle
gastracnemious
Where would you find a fan-shaped muscle
Pectorals
What happens when muscles are pennated
Smaller range of shortening
Greater force
What are type 2 muscle fibers
Fast twitch
What are type 1 muscle fibers
Slow contraction
