Lecture 3-Physics based Kinesiology Flashcards
Isokinetic Definition and aspects
Velocity is constant
Resistance is accommodating and select-able
Velocity based exercise
Isometric definition and aspects
Velocity is static
Resistance is accommodating and select-able
Velocity based Exercise
Isotonic definition and aspects
Velocity is variable
Resistance is constant and non-selectable
Force based exercise
Concentric
Force development in a muscle in which the muscle fibrils decrease in length
Shortening muscular activity with positive work
Eccentric
Force development in a muscle in which the muscle fibrils increase in length
Lengthening muscular activity with negative work
Strength
Force development without regard to time
Force development at an angular velocity of less than 90 Degrees/sec
Power
Force development with regard to time
Force development at an angular velocity of greater than 90 degrees/second
When is isokentics indicated?
Dynamic strength and power development with contraction type and velocity dependence
What type of relationship exists during isokinetic exercise?
An inverse relationship between concentric and eccentric force development
What occurs during concentric isokinetic exercise?
At higher angular velocities you get lower force production
Lower velocities, higher force production
Why does the inverse relationship occur in concentric isokinetic exercises?
More time for motor unit recruitment
What occurs during eccentric isokinetic exercises?
At higher velocities you get higher force production
Lower velocities, lower force production
Why does the direct relationship occur in eccentric isokinetic exercises?
Series elastic component of the invested connective tissue
What is known about isotonic exercises?
Best mode for kinesthetic neuromuscular re-education
Type of activity utilized in functional activities
Important in neuromuscular re-education of functional eccentric muscular activity
What is known about isometric exercises?
Best for strength development-angular specific
Used for people with pain with dynamic activity
No dynamic neuromuscular re-education benefit
Use precaution with patients with labile blood pressure
