Chapter 9 - Muscular Training Flashcards
Planes of the body
Saggital - right and left
Frontal - front and back
Transverse- upper and lower
Benefits of muscular training
Increased skeletal strength
Improved bone mineral density
Greater blood glucose regulation
Wolff’s law states…(think bones)
Changes in bone structure coincide w/ changes in bone function
(Form follows function)
4 movements of synovial joints (related to planes)
Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Most common type of joint in body
Synovial
Saggital plane =which joint actions
Flexion, dorsiflexion, extension, plantar flexion
(Squats, front arm raise, biceps)
**Things that can be done in narrow hallway
Frontal plane =which joint actions
Abduction, adduction, elevation
(Side lunge, single arm raise)
think of hitting walls of hallway, lateral moves*
Transverse plane =which joint actions
Rotation, pronation, supination
Plank w/ rotation
Sympathetic nervous system is activated when?
Work
Activated when there is a stressor or emergency (pain, anger, fear) fight or flight
Parasympathetic nervous system aids in what functions?
Rest
Controls normal functions when body is relaxed and aids in digestion, storing energy, promoting growth
Components of muscle
Tendons, muscle, fibers, connective tissues
Difference between fast twitch and slow twitch muscles
Slow twitch are more efficient, type 1, increase oxygen, less force output, fatigue slowly
Fast twitch are type 2, larger, more force, less oxygen, fatigue faster
What is rectus femoris?
Rectus femoris is part of thequadricepsgroup. It is a bulk ofmusclelocated in the superior, anterior middle compartment of the thigh.
It is a two way acting muscle as it crosses over the hip and knee joint; therefore, it functions to extend the knee and also assists in hip flexion.
Benefits of resistance training to share with women
(Avg adult experiences 5lb muscle tissue loss per decade) resistance training can restore lost muscle and raise resting metabolism
Types of muscular action (st, con, ec)
Static (isometric), concentric (shorten), eccentric (lengthen)
