Lecture 13 Flashcards
Terminology associated with the sacromere:
- myosin filament
- actin filament
- cross-bridge
- power stroke
Rate of ATP hydrolysis depends on ….
myosin heavy chain (MHC) type
Type I MHC:
slow hydrolysis rate
Type IIa MHC:
fast hydrolysis rate
Type IIb MHC:
very fast hydrolysis rate
Cross-bridge cycling 4 steps:
- myosin heads split ATP and become reoriented and energized
- myosin heads bind to actin forming crossbridges
- myosin heads rotate toward centre of the sacromere (power stroke)
- as myosin heads bind ATP, the crossbridges detach from actin

Muscle fibre is made up of ______ in ____ and in ____.
- sacromeres
- series
- parallel
Length of muscle =
number of sacromeres in series
Force generated by muscle =
number of sacromeres in parallel
Time to contract =
MHC type
Sacromere:
space between 2 Z discs
Effects of flexibility training on performance: increased:
- sit and reach
- standing long jump distance
- vertical jump height
- knee flexion strength
- knee extension strength
Effects of flexibility training on performance: decreased:
20 m sprint time
Type I adaptations to resistance exercise:
- no effect on MHC
- minimal or small increase in sacromeres in parallel
- increased oxidative capacity (metabolic)
- less fatiguable
Type IIA adaptations to resistance exercise:
- no effect on MHC
- large increase in sacromeres in parallel
- increase oxidative and glycolytic capacity (metabolic)
- less fatiguable
Type IIB adaptations to resistance exercise:
- MHC: convert to IIA with training
- type IIA fibres convert to type IIB with disuse
Maximum flexibility depends on…
number of sacromeres in series
Maximum strength depends on…
number of sacromeres in parallel
Maximum power depends on…
- number of sacromeres in series
- number of sacromeres in parallel
- % MHC IIa
Caveat:
ignores neural activation of muscle
MU =
motor unit
Terminology associated with the motor neuron:
- neuron body
- axon
- dendrite
- meylin sheath
- neuromuscular junction
Individuals may not maximally ______ muscle via _____ ____.
- activate
- voluntary effort
Estimated voluntary muscle activation: ____%. Why?
- 75% (range 60-100%)
- neural inhibition (eg. Golgi tendon organ)
Why neural inhibition?
prevent injury (muscle-tendon tear, avulsion fracture)
Size principle: Type I (SO) motor unit:
- slow twitch
- small # muscle fibres
- low recruitment threshold
- lower force
