Q

Scapular protraction

A

Abduction of the scapulae; shoulder blades move away from the midline.

27
Q

Scapular depression

A

Downward (inferior) movement of the scapulae.

28
Q

Scapular elevation

A

Upward (superior) movement of the scapulae.

29
Q

Eccentric muscle action

A

When a muscle develops tension while lengthening; resistive force is greater than muscular force.

30
Q

Concentric muscle action

A

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

31
Q

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.

32
Q

Isokinetic muscle action

A

When a muscle shortens at a constant speed over the full range of motion.

33
Q

Force

A

An influence applied by one object to another, which results in an acceleration or deceleration of the second object.

34
Q

Length-tension relationship

A

The resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.

35
Q

Force-couple

A

Muscle groups moving together to produce movement around a joint.

36
Q

Rotary motion

A

Movement of the bones around the joints.

37
Q

Torque

A

A force that produces rotation. Common unit of torque is the newton-meter, or Nm.

38
Q

Motor behavior

A

Motor response to internal and external stimuli.

39
Q

Motor control

A

How the CNS integrates internal and external sensory information with previous experiences to produce a motor response.

40
Q

Motor learning

A

Integration of motor control processes through practice and experience, leading to a relatively permanent change in the capacity to produce skilled movements.

41
Q

Motor development

A

The change in motor skill behavior over time throughout the lifespan.

42
Q

Muscle synergies

A

Groups of muscles that are recruited by the CNS to provide movement.

43
Q

Sensorimotor integration

A

The cooperation of the nervous and muscular system in gathering and interpreting information and executing movement.

44
Q

Feedback

A

The use of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to help the Human Movement System in motor learning.

45
Q

Internal feedback

A

The process whereby sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the environment.

46
Q

External feedback

A

Information provided by some external source, such as a fitness professional, video, mirror, or heart rate monitor, to supplement feedback from the internal environment.

47
Q

First class levers

A

The fulcrum in the middle, with the effort and resistance on either side; like a see-saw.

48
Q

Second class levers

A

The resistance in the middle, with the fulcrum and effort on either side; like a wheelbarrow.

49
Q

Third class levers

A

The effort in the middle, with the fulcrum and resistance on either side.

50
Q

Example of Force-Couple Relationships

A

Upward rotation of the scapula where the upper trapezius connects to the top of the scapula and pulls it in a superior-medial direction, while the serratus anterior attaches to the bottom of the scapula and pulls it in an inferior-lateral direction.

51

A

Shortening of the biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and brachialis.

52
Q

Common force couples: Hip Flexion in a leg lift

A

A

Shortening of the Pectoralis Major, Subscapularis and latissimus dorsi.

54
Q

Adduction: Pull up and Cable hip adduction.

55
Q

Example of exercises in the Sagittal Plane:

A

Biceps curl, triceps pushdown, squat. Flexion: Hamstring curl and Barbell curl. Extension: Quad Extension and Triceps Skull Crusher.

56

Trunk Rotation: Woodchop
Horizontal Adduction: Cable Chest Fly
Horizontal Abduction: Rear delt fly machine

57
Q

Concentric

A

Moving in opposite direction of force, accelerates or produces force; muscle shortens.

58
Q

Eccentric

A

Muscle develops tension while lengthening; decelerates force.

59
Q

Isometric

A

Muscular force equal to resistive force, stabilizes force; no change in muscle length.

60
Q

Force-velocity curve

A

As the velocity of a contraction increases, concentric force decreases and eccentric force increases.

61
Q

A

Ability to produce and reduce force, and stabilize the kinetic chain in all three planes of motion.

62
Q

Structural efficiency

A
