M1 Flashcards
as velocity increases what does this mean for crossbridge and force generated
number of crossbridges decreases - less force generated
at what type of contractions is force the highest
eccentric
as eccentric forces are the highest when there is an unusal contraction what will this create
DOMS
what does DOMS stand for
delayed onset muscle soreness
in the force and velocity relationship what do actin and myosin do
attach and detach at different rates
between power and endurance athletes who produces more torque at all velocities
power
what is the order of motor units recruit - what does it mean by the size principle
smallest to largest
what muscle fibres are used first ( which ones are the smallest
Type 1 - slow muscle fibres, oxidative, greater resistant to fatigue able to go for the longest
what are 2 benefits of size principles
- use fatigue resistant - smallest, type one fibres longer
- finer regulation with low force
out of power and endurance athletes who produces more torque
power
velocity force graph if velocity is low is length important
yes
what greater % does men have have over women for upper body and lower
50% upper
30% lower
how much strength have you lost by the time you are 80 years old and why
50%
loss of type 2 fibres
what are some examples of air braked ergometers
erg, watt bike
T/F with air braked ergometers resistance, work rate increase exponentially with cadence
true
