Q

Motor unit recruitment we start with

Then
Then
Why do we recruit different motor units

A

SO
Then FOG
Then FG

As force goes up we have to recruit more motor units

Q

When will a person produce a higher emg recording

Why

(PEOPLE USING SUB MAX FORCE)

A

When they use more of their max force

Q

During sub max effort what happens to EMG as time increases

SUB MAX ACROSS TIME

A

Increase in EMG reponse

Because of the recruitment of FG and FOG fiber types as well as the slope of the integrated EMG combined with EMG activity of slow twitch motor units

Q

Force production relationships:

Cross sectional area

Motor units/fiber type

Speed of movement

A

Greater area = greater force production

Greater FT muscle fibers = greater force production

Increase in speed = decrease in force production - because recruitment of ST motor units decreases

Q

What is Isokinetic strength

Characteristics….

Has… To keep constant…

A

Higher torquel force for people with more FT muscle (assuming same area of muscle)

Involves maximal overload throughout the entire range of motion
Constant speed of movement as muscle contracts
Movement is in direction of force vector
Force is greater than resistance

Accomodating resistance gives a constant predetermined speed

Q

What happens during a single effort contraction

Q

Peak contractions at various speeds what will we see between the two individuals

A

Both will show decline in force production as speed increases

The individual with more FT muscle will show less decline = thicker axon and more intramuscular stores of myosin ATPase

At high speeds recruitment of SO ceases

FG>FOG>SO

Q

Repeated contractions at constant speed will see that the individual will experience

A

As time goes on the individual with more ST muscle will show less of a decline in force production because More ST muscle = more myoglobin, mitochondria and oxidative enzymes = more ATP recycled

SO>FOG>FG

A

96
Q

Steady state is

When can you reach steady state

A

The time period during exercise when a physiological function like vo2 remains at a relatively constant rate

Oxygen demand = oxygen supply
During low intensity exercise
+/- 2 ml/kg/min oxygen uptake rate

97
Q

What is oxygen debt

A

Payback of the oxygen deficit that occurred prior in exercise

The amount of oxygen consumed during recovery from exercise above that is ordinarily consumed at rest in the same time period

98
Q

Why is oxygen debt greater than deficit (3)

A

1) Oxygen uptake rate is driven up in order to dissipate heat by circulation to the surface of the skin
2) Thyroxin and catecholamines remain active during recovery to keep stimulation of metabolic pathways - VO2 is increased by this
3) There is an increased oxygen a lactic phase needed to replenish the phosphagen stores and remove lactate by oxidation - cardiac and respiratory muscle needs oxygen to meet this need during recovery
