The resting resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length

Answer 29

Length tension relationship

Muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint

Answer 30

Force-couple relationship

Question 31

Movement of the bones around the joints

Answer 31

Rotary motion

Question 32

A force that produces rotation, common unit of torque is the newton meter or Nm

Answer 32

Torque

Question 33

Motor response to internal and external environmental stimuli

Answer 33

Motor behavior

Question 34

How the central nervous system integrates internal and external sensory information with previous experiences to produce a motor response

Answer 34

Motor control

Question 35

Integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produced skill

Answer 35

Motor learning

Question 36

The change in motor skill behavior over time throughout the life span

Answer 36

Motor development

Question 37

Groups of muscles that are recruited by the central nervous system to provide movement

Answer 37

Muscle synergies

Question 38

The cumulative sensory input to the central nervous system from all mechanoreceptors that sense body position and limb movement

Answer 38

Proprioception

Question 39

The cooperation of the nervous and muscular system in gathering and interpreting information and executing movement

Answer 39

Sensorimotor integration

Question 40

The use of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to help the human movement system in motor learning

Answer 40

Feedback

Question 41

The process where by sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the environment

Answer 41

Internal feedback

Question 42

Information provided by some external source such as a health and fitness professional, videotape, mirror, or heart rate monitor, to supplement the internal environment

Answer 42

External feedback
