29
Q

Slow twitch

A

Fatigue resistant
Time produce force is longer
Long duration, aerobic type activities
Generally major constituent of postural muscles

30
Q

Isometric muscle contractions

A

Muscle contracts to increase tension but no change in muscle length

31
Q

What is a good first strengthening exercise for post injury or surgery?

A

Isometric

32
Q

What type of strength gains will you receive with isometric contractions?

A

Small range of motion

33
Q

Example of isometric contractions

A

Bicep contraction against table

34
Q

Concentric contractions

A

Muscle shortens while contracting against resistance

35
Q

What is the most common form of strengthening?

A

Concentric

36
Q

Example of concentric contraction

A

Biceps curl with dumbbell from elbow extension to elbow flexion

37
Q

Eccentric contraction

A

Muscle lengthens while contracting against resistance

38
Q

What type of contraction has great potential strength gains but also can cause greater muscle damage?

A

Eccentric

39
Q

What type of muscle contraction is important in deceleration injures?

A

Eccentric

40
Q

Example of eccentric

A

Negative of lower a dumbbell

41
Q

Isokinetic contraction

A

Exercise at a fixed velocity of movement

42
Q

Goal of isokinetic contractions

A

Provide max resistance throughout the range of motion

43
Q

Techniques of resistance training (4)

A
  • progressive resistance exercise
  • overload principle must be applied
  • must work muscle at increasingly higher intensities to enhance strength overtime
  • if intensity does not increase but training continues then muscle strength will be sustained
44
Q

Functional training

A

Integrated exercises designed to improve functional movement patterns and training in multiple planes of motion

45
Q

What is the next step in rehab once strength and ROM goals are met?

A

Functional training

46
Q

What should an ATC understand concerning functional training?

A

Demands and movements of sport and be able to replicate the patterns in rehab exercises

47
Q

The core

A

The lumbar-pelvic-hip-abdominal complex

48
Q

What is the foundation for efficient muscular output and stability?

A

core strength

49
Q

What are the risks of a weak core?

A

Inefficient muscle movements which can lead to injury

50
Q

What should be incorporated into every rehab program?

A

Core stabilization

51
Q

Plyometric exercise

A

Rapid stretch, eccentric contraction followed by a rapid concentric contraction to create a forceful explosive movement

52
Q

What type of exercise is important in developing eccentric control and power?

A

Plyometric

53
Q

What are plyometrics stressful on?

A

Musculoskeletal system

54
Q

What is critical for females in preventing osteoporosis?

A

Strength training

55
Q

What is related to hypertrophy?

A

Testosterone

56
Q

What happens due to enhanced nervous system and muscle interaction in females?

A

Remarkable gains in which following these gains, a plateau occurs (efficiency)

57
Q

Strength training in adolescents

A
  • if properly supervised, young individuals can improve strength, power, endurance, balance, and proprioception
  • develop a positive body image
  • results in improved sports performance while preventing injuries
58
Q

Caution when training adolescents

A
  • close supervision and instruction

- beware of overloading before body is mature enough to handle

59
Q

How should you go about strength gains in adolescents?

A

Without significant hypertrophy

Calisthenics and body weight resistance

60
Q

Active range of motion

A
  • dynamic flexibility
  • ability to move joint with little resistance
  • may be limited by strength or pain
  • doing it by yourself
61
Q

Passive range of motion

A
  • static flexibility
  • motion of joint to end points w/o muscle contraction
  • may be limited by obstruction or flexibility
  • someone else moving for you
62
Q

Agonist

A

Muscle producing movements

63
Q

Agonist example

A

Quads contract—> knee extension

64
Q

Antagonist

A

Muscle undergoing stretch during movement

65
Q

Antagonist example

A

Hamstring will stretch during knee extension

66
Q

How do agonist and antagonist work together?

A

Produce smooth coordinated movements

67
Q

Ballistic stretching

A

Bouncing movement in which repetitive contractions of agonist work to stretch antagonist muscle

**possible soreness and risk of over stretching

68
Q

Dynamic stretching

A

Considered functional and often suggested for athletes prior to activity

69
Q

Static stretching

A

Passively stretching

Controlled with less chance of injury (typical stretching)

70
Q

Factors that limit flexibility (5)

A
  • bony structure
  • excessive fat/ muscle
