16
Q

What is slow in the red muscle fibers?

A
  • interaction rate with actin
  • force production
  • energy consumption
17
Q

What are red muscle fibers sustained by?

A

aerobic metabolism

18
Q

What is fast in the white muscle fibers?

A
  • interaction rate with actin
  • force production
  • energy consumption
19
Q

What are white muscle fibers sustained by?

A

anaerobic metabolism

20
Q

What are white muscle fibers sustained by?

A

anaerobic metabolism

21
Q

What causes a twitch?

A

A single electrical stimulation of a muscle

a single activation of many motor units

22
Q

Why does repeated stimuli cause increasing levels of tension?

A
  • sustained higher levels of Ca2+
  • actin-myosin interaction become more sensitive to Ca2+
  • increased heat produces more tension
23
Q

What causes summation?

A

Rapidly repeated stimuli causes even higher levels of tension

24
Q

What causes summation?

A

Rapidly repeated stimuli causes even higher levels of tension

25
Q

When is the tetanus incomplete?

A

When the flucuations from individual twitches are visible

26
Q

When is the tetanus complete?

A

When the flucuations from individual twitches are not visible

27
Q

When is the maximum muscle tension at the optimal length?

A

When the actin myosin overlap is optimal

28
Q

When is the maximum muscle tension at the optimal length?

A

When the actin myosin overlap is optimal

29
Q

What occurs during strength training?

A
  • Increased number of contractile filaments
  • more power
  • improved anaerobic metabolism
30
Q

What is hypertrophy?

A

Increased number of contractile filaments

31
Q

What occurs during endurance training?

A
  • increase blood supply (increased blood vessels)
  • more mitochondria
  • aerobic enzymes
  • improved aerobic metabolism
32
Q

What occurs during disuse of muscles?

A
  • loss of contractile filaments

- less power

33
Q

What is atrophy?

A

Loss of contractile filaments

34
Q

What happens during physiological exhaustion?

A
  • ATP depletion (secondary to depletion of glucose/glycogn/O2)
  • Build up of metabolic products (eg lactic acid)
35
Q

What happens during pscychological exhaustion?

A
  • feedback from muscles to brain produce sensation of fatigue
  • even though muscles still capable of contracting
