Kinanthropometry 4 structures of human body:
1.Size
2.Proportionality
3.Composition
4.Shape
what is kinanthropometry:
structure of the moving human body
size focuses on:
(KINATHROPOMETRY)
1.Stature
2.mass
3.length
4.girths
5.Widths
what proportionality focuses on:
(KINANTHROPOMETRY)
1.mass
2.length
3.girth
4.width
what composition focuses on:
(KINANHTROPOMETRY)
1.Lean body mass
2.Fat body mass
3.Essiantial fat
4.Storage fat
what shape focuses on:
(KINANTHROPOMETRY)
1.SHAPE
What makes up a single muscle cell fibre:
1.Sarcolemma (cell membrane)
2.Sarcoplasm (Cytoplasm
3.Sacromere (Functional unit)
4.Myofibrils (contains contractile protein)
What is sliding filament theory?
The myofilament or contractile protein actin
slides across myosin
A sarcomere may shorten during muscle contraction.
YES
1.Isometric
2.eccentric
3.concentric
1.muscle force = load
2.muscle force is less than load
3.muscle force is greater than load
With classic contractions (concentric), as speed of movement increases
↑, the force a muscle can generate ________
Decreases
Why does muscle generate less force when more velocity is used
Cross bridges are compromised since they cannot couple and
uncouple fast enough (myosin heads attaching to the actin
filaments)
define endurance:
Ability to resist fatigue in strength performance of longer duration.
define strength or maximal strength:
The ability to perform maximal voluntary contraction to overcome powerful external resistances.
define power:
The ability to overcome external resistance by developing a high rate of muscular contraction; also known as “speed strength”. (The greatest amount you can lift in the shortest period).
strength can be increased by 2 things what are they?
Myogenically and Neurogenically
what are some health benefits of increased muscular strength and endurance?
-Prevents lower back problems
-Decreased injury to joints and muscles
-postpones decrease of strength when you age
-prevents bone loss
-increases metabolic rate
characteristics of fast twitch and slow twitch muscles.
slow twitch- fatigue resistant, 110ms to reach peak.
fast twitch- fatigue’s quickly, 50ms to reach peak, generates greater force than slow twitch.
Impulses cross gaps, what are these gaps called?
synapses
impulses cross gaps, what neuro-transmitter is used?
Acetylcholine
Sort the following:
- muscle contracts
- calcium is released from the SR
- impulse arrives at the NMJ
- impulse travels over sarcolemma
- cross bridges form
- Impulse arrives at Neuro-Muscular-Junction
2.Impulse travels over sarcolemma
3.Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
4.Cross bridges from
5.muscles contract
Factors influencing the force of muscle contractions:
- The individual’s state of health
- The individual’s training status
*3. Joint angle (and coordination of movement)
*4. Muscle cross-sectional area
*5. Speed of movement
*6. Muscle fibre type
*7. Age
*8. Sex (male/female)
