What are the primary socializers and why?
Family - provides first set of values and norms
Who are the second socializers?

How does society have an influence on socialization and movement?
schools
Community
Government and public bodies
Are psychological factors in movement intrinsic or extrinsic?
Intrinsic
Are race and ethnicity intrinsic or extrinsic?
Intrinsic
Is environment intrinsic or extrinsic?
Extrinsic
What are the 5 elements of the Balance Theory Model?
Individual
Technology
Task Design
Organization
Task environment
Which element of balance theory model? Explains how movement can be limited, modified or adapted according to the environment.
Task Environment
Which element of balance theory model?
Explains the quality or characteristics of the task (movement) to be performed such as frequence, quality, force or intensity
Task Design
Which element of the balance theory model?
Explains how the use of technology can modify/impact human movement
Technology
Which element of the balance theory model?
Explains how the larger environment in which the system occurs can affect human movement and that a set of rules or norms can alter movement.
Organization
Which element of the balance theory model?
Main component of approach. Characteristics such as size, body type, physical and mental health, motivation and needs influence movement.
Individual
What are the functions of muscle?
Mobility
Movement
Heat production
What are the 3 different types of muscles?
Skeletal
smooth
cardiac
What is the structure of a skeletal muscle?
Muscle > Fascicles > Fibers
What connective tissues surround the Fibers of a muscle?
Endomysium
What connective tissues surround the fascicles of a muscle?
Perimysium
What connective tissues surrounds the fascicles all together (muscle)?
Epimysium
What are the three connective tissues of the muscle in order of larger to smaller?
Epimysium
Perimysium
Endomysium
What are the smaller units in a muscle fiber?
Myofibril
What are the sequential contractile units that forms the myofibril?
Sarcomere
What are the protein in the thick filaments?
myosin
What are the proteins in the thin filaments?
Actin
Troponin
tropomyosin
What is a good way to remember Actin being the protein for thin filaments of the muscle?
ac-thin
What is the Z line?
Determine the zones of one sarcomere
How do you remember the Z line?
Zee end of the actin
What is the I band?
The area where the thin and thick filaments do not overlap - no thick filament
What is the A band?
formed by the dark thick filaments
What is the H zone?
The area of the A band where the thick and thin filaments do not overlap
What is the M line (or disk)?
in the centre of the sarcomere
How do you remember the I band?
I-solated actin
How do you remember the A band?
What A-sin - Weird thing they say but related to myosin which is the thick filament only
How do you remember the H band?
H-as only myosin (thick) - in the center
How do you remember the M line or disk?
Midline
What is the following theory:
explains how the thin and thick filaments slide in relation to each other in the sarcomere, shortening it and therefore the muscle to produce a contraction.
The sliding filament theory
What are the functional units of the skeletal muscle formed by the muscle fibers and the motor neurons that innervate the fibers?
The motor unit
What is the production of force dependent on?
the number of muscle fibers
What kind of movements do small motor units provide?
Precise fine movements
What kind of movements do larger motor units provide?
Power and gross movement
What activates the motor units?
Action potential
What does “all or nothing apply to”?
Recruitment of Motor units
Can a motor unit have different types of muscle fibers?
No
What are the two ways the recruitment of motor units can change depending on the task?
Number of motor units recruited
Frequency of recruitment
What are the 3 types of muscle fibers?
Type 1
Type IIA
Type IIB
In what order do motor units recruitment work?
Size principle - smallest motor units (Type 1) are recruited first as they get fatigued later
What will create a single twitch?
Low frequencies of stimulation
What is a tetanic contraction?
A “full” muscle contraction when twitches are not apparent.
What is the production of force proportional to?
The number of cross-bridges that occur between the actin and myosin
What is the name of this graph
Length-Tension Curve
How does the active tension curve go in terms of length-tension?
Less tendion when shorter as cross-bridges are too tight and then also less then too long.
How does the passive tension work in terms of length-tension?
When the muscles is passively lengthened the tension will increase as the muscle reaches its outer range.
What type of muscle contraction is 1?
Concentric: force > load (shortens)
What type of muscle contraction is 2?
Isometric: force = load (no movement)
What type of muscle contraction is 3?
Eccentric: force < loag (lenghtens)
What is the ability of the muscle to generate a movement?
Muscle Force
What is the rate at which work is being done by a muscle?
Muscle Power
What is the formula for Power?
Power = Force of contraction x Velocity of contraction
When Power is calculated as positive, what kind of contraction is that?
Concentric
