diminished response of the
muscle to repeated stimulus (a muscle repeatedly
contracts either statically or dynamically against an
imposed load).

50
Q

Fatigue occurs due to (3 things)

  • inhibitoru influences from the CNS
  • decrease in conduction of impulses at the neruomuscular junction
51
Q

fiber type

52
Q

response of the entire body as the result of

54
Q

movement and excursion of a body segment as the muscle shortens
(concentric contraction) or lengthens (eccentric contraction)
-previously referred to as isotonic

55
Q

concentric

A
  • acceleration
  • muscle shortening
  • positive work
  • maximum contraction; less force and tension than with eccentric contraction
  • uses contractile components to prodcue force
  • more units utilized than EC
56
Q

eccentric

A
  • deceleration
  • muscle lengthening
  • negative work
  • maximum contraction - more force tension generated than with concentric
  • uses contractile and non-contractile components to produce force
  • less motor units used than CC
57
Q

isometric

A

a static resistance exercise in which there is no joint motion or visible change in muscle length accompanying the muscle contraction

  • significant tension and force produced by the muscle
  • can increase strength with isometric contraction
  • will strengthen only at the angle which the exercise is performned; need to perform isometric exercises at different angles in order to strengthen throughout the ROM
  • manual or mechanical resistnance
58
Q

muscle setting exercises

A

isometric contractions that are NOT performed against resistance – will not see significant changes in muscle strength

  • will not produce hypertrophy
  • it will help the neuroplasticity & process of contracting the muscles again

if that joint is screened and determined to be
stable and not painful

(a) A maximal, painfree effort without
substitutions is desirable

factors such as stage of healing etc.
