Q

relationship btw moment arm and mechanical advantage

A

the moment arm varies thru the joint’s ROM. when the M is shorter, there is less MA
as a weight is lifter, the M thru which the weight acts, & thus the resistive torque changes with the horizontal distance from the weight to the elbow

53
Q

the amount of torque that can be exerted about a given body joint varies thru a joint’s ROM and depends on (6)

A

-F vs m. length relationship
-variation in leverage attributes to dynamic geometry of the m., tendons and internal joint structures
-the type of exercise
-the body joint in question
-the muscles used at that joint
-speed of cnt

54
Q

A

-force capability of the m. decreases as the velocity of cnt increases
-as the velocity of mvt increases the max force a m. can produce concentrically decrease

58
Q

what is the torque and angular velocity relationship for

A

eccentric>isometric>concentric

60
Q

strength to mass ratio definition

A

equals the force a person’s m. can exert during a particular mvt divided by the mass of the body and it reflects an athlete’s ability to accelerate their body

61
Q

strength to mass ratio is important in what sports

A

sprinting, jumping and weight classification

62
Q

what happens to a sprinter’s ability to accelerate if he or she increases body mass and force capability by 15% and 10%, respectively

A

they will slow down

63
Q

which of the following wrestler’s has a decided advantage in strength
-A; higher strength, body wieght 200 lb
-B: lower strength, body weight 200 lbs

A

A is stronger

64
Q

is the strength to mass ratio of larger athletes higher or lower than that of smaller athletes

A

gymnasts are stronger athletes pound for pound (smaller athletes have a higher strength to mass ratio than does the larger athlete)

65
Q

as body size increases what happens to body mass and muscle strength

A

body mass increases more rapidly than does muscle strength

66
Q

a muscle’s contractile force is fairly proportional to its…

A

CSA and its related to the square (2nd power) of linear body dimension

67
Q

a muscle’s mass is proportional to its …

A

volumes and its related to the cube of linear body dimensions

68
Q

what are the most common sources of resistance to muscle contraction

A

gravity, inertia, friction, fluid resistance, elasticity

69
Q

whats always constant for gravitational force and moment arm

A

grav F: on an object always acts downward
moment arm: of a weight is always horizontal

70
Q

how would you apply gravity to resistance exercise training (weight is closer, further from joint and effect on resistive torque)

A

-during a fw exercise, the weight doesnt change by the length of the moment arm changes
-when weight is horizontally closer to the joint, it exerts less resistive torque
-when the weight is horizontally further to the joint, it exerts more resistive torque

71
Q

in weight stack machines, what is the source of resistance and what does the machine provide

A

gravity is the source of resistance
machine provides increased control over the direction and pattern of resistance

72
Q

what varies when using a cam-based weight stack machine

A

moment arm of the weight stack varies during the mvt

73
Q

def inertia

A

-tendency of a body to resist acceleration
-is the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless disturbed by an external force
can act in any direction

74
Q

application of inertia to upward phase of biceps curl

A

-must overcome gravitational and inertia F to move the barbell upwards
-at the start, the bar is accelerated from a zero velocity to an upward velocity
-near the top of the exercise, there is some deceleration to bring the bar’s velocity back to zero
-early in the ROM, the agonist muscles receive resistance in excess of the bar weight
-toward the end of the ROM, the agonist muscles receive resistance less than the bar weight

75
Q

what are examples of explosive exercises in forms of acceleration training

A

snatch, clean and jerk, power clean, high pull

76
Q

what is the bracketing technique

A

a sport movement is performed with less than normal and greater than normal resistance

77
Q

what is friction

A

is the resistive force encountered when one attempts to move an object while it is pressed against another object

78
Q

application of friction to resistance exercise training in example a football lineman pushes a weighted-sled

A

-it takes more force to initiate the sled’s mvt than to maintain its initial movement because the coefficient of static friction is always > than the coefficient of sliding friction
-must overcome the resistance due to the sled’s inertia (directly proportional to the sled’S mass and acceleration)
-must also overcome the resistance due to the friction btw the sled’s runners and the ground (proportional to the friction coefficient btw the contact surfaces and the net force pressing against the sled)

79
Q

what is fluid resistance

A

resistive F encountered by an object moving thru a fluid, or by a fluid moving past or around an object or thru an orifice

80
Q

what are the 2 sources of fluid resistance

A

surface drag: results from the friction of a fluid passing along the surface of an object
form drag: results from the way in which a fluid presses against the front or rear of an object moving through it

81
Q

application of fluid resistance exercise training with fluid resistance exercise machines

A

-most often use cylinders in which a piston forces fluid thru and orifice
-allow rapid acceleration early in the exercise movement
-allow little acceleration after higher speeds are achieved
-cannot perform isokinetic exercise on theses machines
-do not generally provide an eccentric exercise phase, although machines with an internal pump do

82
Q

application of elasticity to resistance exercise training

A

-the more that the band is stretched, the greater the resistance
-the exercise movement begins with low resistance and ends with high resistance
-the adjustability of the band’s resistance is limited
