Chapter 5 Flashcards
What are three types of muscle contractions?
Isometric
Dynamic
Isokinetic
What is an isometric contaction
There is no change in muscle length
You are pushong an immovable object
What is dynamic contraction?
It can be eccentric or concentric
It is the force produce to move
What happens in Concentric contraction?
It is refered to as positice phase or positive rrsistance training
Muscle shortens
Concentric strength is the weakest levrl of strength and is the ability of the muscle to raise a weigt from a position if full extension to on of full contraction
Eg hamstring-knee joint during leg curl
What are three types of muscle contraction?
Isometric
Dynamic
Isokinetic
Name 6 characteristics of isometric exercises
Increase in muscle tension
- No change in muscle length
- Resistance is equal or greater than the force applied
- Usually occurs when a weak muscle works against a stronger muscle or when the muscle is working against a heavy load that is too heavy to create movement.
- Training isometric exercise will strengthen muscle at the angle where isometric force is produced
- Must be performed at all angles to increase strength
- Effective on exercising injured joints by staying away from painful angles
What is dynamic contraction?
Force that can be concentric or eccentric
What is concentric contraction?
Referred to as positive phase or positive resistance training
Muscle shortens
Concentric strength is the weakest level of strength and is the ability of the muscle to raise a weight from a position of full extension to one of full contraction eg. Hamstring-knee joint during leg curl.
What is constant resistance?
1.The resistance force determines the muscle force
2. The more resistance used, the more forced produced and vice versa
3. THE FORCE GENERATED BY THE MUSCLE IS DYNAMIC AND CHANGED THROUGH THE RANGE OF MOTION
4. Resistance occurs through both the concentric and eccentric phase
6.strength training with barbells or dumbbells is constant resistance becausethe weightload or resostance does not change throughout the entire movement
Other exercises: calisthenics, push ups, sit ups, cjin upd and bar dips
Leverage not same d/t leverage variation
What are three types of strength training equipment?
- Dynamic variable resistance
- Dynamic progressive resistance
- Strength curve
Name four important points for dynamic variable resistance?
1.Weight stack machine have variable resistance
2.Weight load cjanges automAticallu during movement
3. The muscle generates different forces throughout the ROM
4. Less resistance in weaker phase… more resistance in stronger phase
5 alter Resistance with: cams, pneumatics,mechanical breaks and linkage
6. The shape of cam affects the machine resistance
Some equipment have
Mechanical linkage to vary resistance
As weight is lifted the lever length and position of the linkage change
7. Some systems use pneumatic cylinders and air or oil pressure to provide accommodating
Resistance through rom
What are disadvanges of variable resistance equipment?
Acceleration can occur through range of motion. The fly away phenomenom… may result kn injury
True or false it is important that the machine is is adjusted to fit the participants body type to minimize risks and maximize benefit. The machine must fit the person
True
Name four points on progressive resistance.
Provide more résistance when bent over or stretched
The muscle is capable of generating different fotces through out ROM
THE RESISTANCE PROGRESSES ASTHE DEVICE IS MORE STRETCHED OR BENT
COST EFFECTIVE, easy to transport compared to dumbbells pr weight plates.
What is strength curve ?joint angle and muscle angle influence the amount of torque that can be generated to the muscle
Each joint has a specific strength curve
The sticking point is where the torque
Generated by load is almost overpowering the torque generated by the muscle. It is the most difficult part of the lift
Movement is easier before and after this point.
The maximum amount of weight a person can be lifted through the sticking point.
