A

sliding filament theory

type II

41

A

bone

42
Q

The following assessment is an indirect measurement of pressure inside an artery cause by the force exerted by blood against the vessel wall

blood pressure

43

A

plantar flexion

47
Q

Which of the following movements (joint actions) happen on the transverse plain

pronation/supination

48
Q

Lordosis

49
Q

leg raise specifically target

A

the hip flexors

50
Q

which of the following exercises targets the deltoids

A

overhead press

51
Q

if a client is performing concentric shoulder flexion, which of the following exercises may her or she be performing

A

front shoulder raises

52
Q

What is the flow of air through respiratory systems?

A

The air that we breathe in enters the nose or mouth, flows through the throat (pharynx) and voice box (larynx) and enters the windpipe (trachea). The trachea divides into two hollow tubes called bronchi.

53
Q

oxygen deficit

A

The period during exercise when the O2 delivered to the muscle is less than that required for ATP to be produced aerobically. The anaerobic systems make up the extra contribution required.

54
Q

oxygen debt

A

During recovery where the O2 delivered to the muscle is above that at rest.
