118
Q

Vascicle

A

Group of muscle fibres

119
Q

Muscle

A

Group of muscle fibres vascicles

120
Q

Sarcomere

A

The contractile unit of muscle organized longitudinally with myofibrilis

121
Q

Contractile proteins

A
  • microfilaments
  • sacromeres (actin and myosin)
  • muscles contract due to myosin pulling on actin
  • myosin head- grabs onto actin and pulls it along (sliding filament theory)
122
Q

Actin and myosin

A
  • line up to make skeletal muscle striated
  • actin= thin filaments
  • myosin= thick filaments
123
Q

Bands

A

A-band= myosin filaments (dark)
I- band= actin filaments (light)
- disappear during contraction

124
Q

Sliding filament theory

A

muscle contraction occurs due to actin sliding over myosin
- cross bridge formation
- myosin head is not attached to actin at rest

125
Q

Joint angles

A

1) optimal joint angle
- myosin and actin are lined up nicely
- actin can be grabbed easily
2) large joint angle
- fewer myosin can grab onto actin
- weaker
3) small joint angle
- fewer myosin can grab onto actin
- squished= less
- weaker

  • degree of force you can output= how easy cross bridge formation occurs
126
Q

Muscle fibres

A

fast twitch and slow twitch
- good at different tasks
- every muscle has both, makes up muscle
- 50/50 in regular people
- can’t change from one to the other

127
Q

Slow twitch muscle fibres

A
  • contract slower
  • can’t produce as much force
  • fatigue resistant (wont get tired as quickly)
  • lots of blood flow (lots of capillaries go to use)
  • rely lots of aerobic system
  • smaller
  • used for posture and activities of long duration
  • red under a microscope
  • endurance athletes may have more and are smaller because they use slow twitch muscle fibres more
128
Q

fast twitch muscle fibres

A
  • muscle fibre twitcher quickly
  • generates force
  • very powerful
  • larger
  • hypertrophy more
  • fatigue quickly
  • don’t use aerobic system
  • anaerobic (don’t use as much oxygen)
  • white in colour
  • weightlifters are bigger since fast twitch muscle fibres are used more and can grow
129
Q

Muscle biopsy

A

A tiny piece of muscle is removed and analyzed under a microscope

130
Q

Motor unit

A
  • functional nerves of muscle
  • motor neuron leaves central system and goes to peripheral
  • very precise and specific
  • only activates as many as you need to do something
  • activate smaller motor units first, then larger ones
  • between alpha motor neuron and muscle fibres
  • only 1 motor neuron activates many muscle fibres
131
Q

All or none principle

A

All muscle fibres that make up a single motor unit will contract maximally if the magnitude is reached

132
Q

Activation threshold

A
  • every motor unit has a specific threshold that must be reached for activation
  • enough energy for it to activate
  • resistance training
  • larger motor units= larger activation threshold
133
Q

End plate

A

Once reached, neurotransmitters are released and activate muscles

134
Q

Intramuscular coordination

A

Capacity to activate different motor units simultaneously
- muscle fibres fire at the same time (trained athletes= 85% fire at the same time and fire more, untrained individuals= 60% fire at the same time and fire less)
- capacity to activate different muscle to produce movement ex. Glutes (stabilizer) during pushups
- analogy: tug of war (pulling at the same time or at different times)

135
Q

Muscle adaption to strength training

A

Training can increase how frequently muscle fibres can fire
- can’t change slow twitch to fast twitch but you can train one or the other

136
Q

Static action

A

Isometric
- iso= same
- metric= length
Static= still ex. Plank

  • generate force with no movement
  • only strengthens at joint angle you are training
137
Q

Dynamic action

A

Dynamic= movement

external force (object + weight) + internal force (muscle force)= movement

  • generating more force than resistor force
138
Q

Concentric action

A
  • muscle shortens
  • only 1/2 movement
  • muscle generates more force than resisting force
139
Q

Eccentric action

A
  • muscle is lengthening
  • other 1/2 of movement
  • generates less force than resisting force
  • what makes muscles sore 24-48h later
140
Q

Isokinetic action

A

Iso= same
Kinetic= motion

  • requires special equipment to control speed of movement throughout entire range of motion
  • can overload muscle regardless of joint angle
141
Q

Polymetric action

A
  • fast, sudden eccentric loading and muscle stretching followed quickly by a string concentric contraction ex. Bouncing/ jumping
  • all done very rapidly
  • activates a stretch reflex and utilizes elasticity of a muscle
  • most sports use plyometric action
142
Q

Joint angle

A
  • different muscle pulling efficiency and strength production
  • how much force we create
  • strongest at 90-100 degree angle (provides most stability for cross bridge formation)
