chapter 11 Flashcards
popporties of muscle tissues
contractility irritability conductivity
temp with muscle
heating: faster contract and relax
cooling: slower contraction and relaxation 2 to 3 times
all or none law
muscle fiber stimulated by single impulse above threshold in contracts
isometric
pushing against immovable object
grip strength tester
isokinetic
constant velocity of movement mostly used in rehab
dynamic constant
powerlifting
concentric
muscle is shortening
eccentric
muscle is lengthening
walking running
hypertrophy
enlargement of muscle fibers
increase protein synthesis
decreases breakdown of existing proteins
hyoertrophy of fast and slow twitch muscle fibers
hyperplasia
increase number of muscle fibers
plyometric
increases explosive muscular power
