Q

Define…

  • scapular retraction
  • scapular protraction
  • scapular depression
  • scapular elevation
A
  • scapular retraction: adduction of the scapulae
  • scapular protraction: abduction of the scapulae
  • scapular depression: inferior movement of scapulae
  • scapular elevation: superior movement of the scapulae
17
Q

Define eccentric muscle action

A

when muscle develops tension while lengthening

- resistive force is greater than muscular force

18
Q

Define concentric muscle action

A

when a muscle is exerting greater force than the resistive force, resulting in shortening of the muscle

19
Q

Define isometric muscle action

A

when a muscle is exerting force equal to the force being placed on it, leading to no visible change in the muscle length

20
Q

Define isokinetic muscle action

A

when a muscle shortens at a constant speed over the full ROM

21
Q

Define force

A

influence applied by one object to another, resulting the an acceleration or deceleration of the second object

22
Q

Define length-tension relationship

A

resting length of a muscle & its tension

23
Q

Define force-couple

A

muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint

24
Q

Define rotary motion

A

movement of bones around joints

25
Q

Define torque

A

force that produces rotation

- unit = Nm

26
Q

Define motor behavior

A

motor response to internal & external stimuli

27
Q

Define motor control

A

how the CNS integrates internal & sensory info w/previous experiences to produce a motor response

28
Q

Define motor learning

A

integration of motor control processes through practice & experience

29
Q

Define motor development

A

change in motor skill behavior over time

30
Q

Define muscle synergies

A

groups of muscles that are recruited by the CNS to provide movement

31
Q

Define sensorimotor integration

A

gathers & interprets info & executes movement

32
Q

Define feedback

A

use of sensory info & sensorimotor integration for learning

33
Q

Define internal feedback

A

sensory info is used by the body to reactively monitor movement & the environment

34
Q

Define external feedback

A

info by external source

ex: fitness professional, video, mirror, HR monitor
