A

ISOKINETIC

87
Q

DURING ECCENTRIC ACTION, MUSCLE LENGTHENS BECAUSE CONTRACTILE FORCE IS WHAT ?

A

LESS THAT THE RESISTIVE FORCE

88
Q

AS MUSCLE LENGTHENS, ACTIN AND MYOSIN CROSS BRIDGES SO WHAT ?

A

PULL APART AND REATTACH, ALLOWING MUSCLE TO LENGTHEN

89
Q

90
Q

SYNONYMOUS WITH DECELERATION; ALSO KNOWN AS A NEGATIVE

A

MOTION THAT MOVES IN SAME DIRECTION AS RESISTANCE IS MOVING (KNOWN AS DIRECTION OF RESISTANCE)

A

92
Q

WHEN A MUSCLE EXERTS FORCE GREATER THAN RESISTIVE FORCE, RESULTS IN SHORTENING OF MUSCLE

A

CONCENTRIC MUSCLE ACTION

93
Q

AS MUSCLE SHORTENS, ACTIN AND MYOSIN CROSS BRIDGES DO WHAT ?

A

MOVE TOGETHER (SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY), ALLOWING MUSCLE TO SHORTEN

94
Q

SYNONYMOUS WITH ACCELERATION; LIFTING PHASE

A

CONCENTRIC MUSCLE ACTION

95
Q

WHEN MUSCLE EXERTS FORCE EQUAL TO FORCE BEING PLACED ON IT LEADING TO NO VISIBLE CHANGE IN MUSCLE LENGTH

A

98
Q

USED TO DYNAMICALLY STABILIZE BODY

A

ISOMETRIC ACTIONS

99
Q

REQUIRES USE OF EXPENSIVE AND SOPHISTICATED EQUIPMENT; RESISTANCE (LOAD) ADJUSTED SO THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH MUSCULAR TENSION IS PRODUCED MOVEMENTS REMAINS CONSTANT

A
