Kinesiology Flashcards
Newton’s first law
equalibrium: A body at rest will stay at rest
Newtons second law
Acceleration: a particle subjected to a resultant force will accelerate in the direction of that force and the magnitude of acceleration will be proportional to the force of manitude
Newtons third law
action/reaction: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
first class lever

AFR
Viscoelastic properties
Time dependent
Rate dependent
Hysteresis
Strain reaches equilibrium over time
Creep phenomenon
Stress strain curve
Toe region: min stress
Elastic region: up to yield point
Plastic region: permanent deformation
Failure point: rupture
Optimal stimulus for bone
loading along the axis of the bone
Optimal stimulus for cartilage
intermittent compression and decompression
Optimal stimulus for ligaments and tendons
tensile stress in the line of fiber orientations
fusiform muscles are for
velocity
penniform muscle are for
force
types of penniform muscles
unipennate
Bipennate
Multipennate
muscle fiber types
I: slow oxidative (one joint, first to atrophy)
IIa: fast oxidative glycolytic
IIb: fast glycolytic
with concentric contraction, greater force can be produced as slower speed and with eccentric contraction, greater force produced at faster speeds
force velocity curve
120% of resting length is optimal for greatest force production because mas cross bridges
Length-tension relationship
for the same muscle force production, the scenario with the greatest moment arm will have the greatest torque
Moment arm distance
Same muscle length
Isometrics
Fixed resistance
Isotonic
Constant speed
Isokinetic
Variable load torque and speed
Isodynamic
Adaptations to strength training
first is neurogenic second is hypertrophy
