APK 4175 Exam 1 Flashcards
What is the smallest functional unit of a muscle fiber where muscle action takes place?
Sarcomere
What is a Motor Unit?
a motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates
What are the different kinds of muscle fibers types and their attributes?
Type l - Slow twitch
-High oxidative capacity
-lower contractile force capacity
-better for endurance
Type ll- Fast twitch
-High glycolytic capacity
-higher contractile capacity
-Strength and power activities
What are the contractile proteins in skeletal muscle?
Actin and Myosin
What is the muscle spindle vs golgi tendon organ?
Muscle spindle: Provide information about the rate of change in muscle length
Golgi tendon Organ: Located in the musculotendinous junction and respond to changes in muscle tension
Movements and their planes: In which plane does extension/flexion, abduction/adduction, circumduction/rotation occur?
extension/ flexion: Sagittal
abduction/ adduction: Frontal
Circumduction/ rotation: transverse
What is concentric, eccentric and isometric? Can you identify it given different exercises?
Concentric: muscle shortening, Going against gravity ex. lifting a weight
Eccentric: muscle lengthening, Going with gravity ex. lowering a weight
Isometric: When a muscle is activated but no movement occurs ex. the standing phase of a squat exercise
What is the blood-flow through the heart? Name all structures and valves?
- superior and inferior Vena cava
- into right atrium
- through tricuspid valve
- into right ventricle
- through pulmonary valve
- through pulmonary artery
- to the lungs
- through pulmonary veins
- into left atrium
- through bicuspid/ mitral valve
- into left ventricle
- through aortic vavle
- into aorta
- to the rest of the body
What is stroke volume? Cardiac output?
Stroke volume: the amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle from a contraction
Cardiac output: stroke volume x hr; blood per min
What happens to HR, Blood pressure, and respiration rate during aerobic exercise?
HR = 170-210
BP = 200/85
RR = 40-60 breaths per min
What part of the body is responsible for producing red blood cells, protecting organs and tissues, and providing support for the body?
Skeletal system
Which is lordosis, kypohosis and scoliosis?
lordosis: excessive inward curvature of the lower spine
kyphosis: excessive outward curvature of the upper spine
scoliosis: abnormal lateral curvature of the spine
Where can you measure HR (pulse)? Which is the most commonly used during exercise?
Carotid artery; Brachial artery; Radial artery
Are body weight exercises the most appropriate for beginners and the overweight and obese?
No
What are the energy systems and their contribution to exercise?
Krebs and Phosphagen
How many minutes of moderate intensity activity per week should adults engage in according to the 2018 guidelines?
150 min per week
what are the recommendations for muscle strengthening activities for adults per week?
two or three times per week
What percentage of adults in the nation in 2018, are meeting both, the aerobic and muscle strengthening guidelines?
24%
What is the prevalence of obesity in the U.S. adult population from 2015 to 2016
39%
Obesity affects some groups more than other T/F
True
There is no relationship between education level and obesity T/F
False
