Ex. modes for strength Flashcards
Type 1 muscle fibers
slow twitch, low force, high endurance
Type 2 A muscle fibers
Fast twitch
Type 2b/x
Fast glycolytic, Increased force, low endurance
Factors of muscle endurance
1) Fiber type
2) Fiber Diameter
3) Recruitment
Diameter of muscle fibers
1- smallest
2a- intermediate
2b/x- largest
Order of muscle fiber recruitment
1>2A>2b/x
Hypertrophy
Train @ 60-70 max
Increased CSA
increased force production
Hyperplasia
new/additional fibers
can type 2x shift to type 2 A?
yeah bruhh
Can type 1 go to type 2?
naw fam
Force velocity relation
small load= fast shortening
large load= slow shortening
Muscles capacity to produce depends on length
Length-tension relationship
Where is maximum force produced?
Muscle’s resting length
Prime muscle mover
Agonist
assist agonist
synergist
