Final Flashcards
Contraction of muscle resulting in shortening
Concentric
Contraction of muscle during lengthening; dynamic
Eccentric
Injury with sudden onset
Acute injury
Injury with long onset
Chronic injury
Solution that is a conductor of electricity
Electrolyte
Relaxation phase of cardiac cycle
Diastolic
Contraction phase of cardiac cycle
Systolic
Blood clot causing blockage of blood flow to brain
Stroke
Break down in body’s ability to generate heat; below 95°
Hypothermia
Chronically elevate blood pressure
Hypertension
Contracting muscle with no change in its length
Isometric exercise
Exercise of muscle where it shortens and lengthens
Isotonic exercise
Pain produced when site of injury is palpated
Point tenderness
Movements closely related to activity
Dynamic stretching
Stretching technique that combines static stretching and contractions
