Effects of a warm up and cool down on skeletal muscle tissue Flashcards
1
Q
What does Increased temperature leads to?
A
Decreased muscle viscosity (Resistance)
2
Q
What three things increase due to the resistance of the muscles?
A
- Increased Elasticity of muscle fibers.
- Increased speed of muscle contractions due to increased speed of nerve transmission to muscle fibers
- Increased force of muscle contractions
3
Q
What are the effects on muscle tissue due to cool down?
A
- Increased speed of removal of waste products - CO2 lactic acid.
- Decreased risk of delayed on set muscle soreness.
