Anatomy and Physiology CSCS Flashcards
Muscle force and resistance are on opposite sides of the fulcrum
1st class lever
triceps pushdowns are considered this type of lever
1st class lever
the moment arm of the force is LONGER than the moment arm of the resistance. Rare.
2nd class lever
an example of this lever is a calf raise
2nd class lever
this lever class is a mechanical advantage
2nd class lever
the moment arm of the muscle is SHORTER than the moment arm of the resistance
3rd class lever
this lever is a mechanical disadvantage for the muscle
3rd class lever
examples of this lever are the bicep curl, leg extension, and most muscles
3rd class lever
internally generated force
muscle force
externally generated force
resistive force
work
force x displacement
power
work/time
impulse
change in momentum
motor unit firing rate
rate coding
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ season includes: more max strength great base after hypertrophy drive type 2 motor unit activation foundation for power training
preseason
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ season includes: more speed/power neurophysiological adaptation transient gains (breif) most sport specific
in season
muscle hypertrophy
- increased actin and myosin (myofibrillar proteins)
- increased muscle pennation angle
axial skeleton
skull
ribcage
vertebrae
appendicular skeleton
everything but the skull, ribcage, and vertebrae
tendon
attaches muscle to bone
strain
tendon
sprain
ligament
ligament
attaches bone to bone
isotonic
constant tension as a muscle changes length
