Midterm 2 Outcomes Flashcards
Kinanthropometry: Structure of Human Body (4)
Size, Proportionality, Composition, Shape (somatotype)
Size Measurements (5)
Stature, Mass, Lengths, Girths, Widths
Proportionality: ratio/ Index
-calculate how one body segment compares to another
-express as percentage of the other
Proportionality: Stature Proportions
-sitting height relative to standing height
Proportionality: Mass
BMI= mass relative to height
Proportionality: Length
crural index: lower leg relative to upper leg
brachial index: lower arm relative to upper arm
Proportionality: Girth
hip relative to waist
Proportionality: Width
shoulders relative to hip (androgyny index)
Proportionality: Surface area relative to Volume
-children vs adults
-as height increases, surface area squares but volume cubes
Composition: Two Component Model (2)
Lean Body Mass: skeletal muscle, bone, water
-higher LBM associated with higher metabolism
-excessive leanness may impair health
Fat Body Mass: Storage and Essential
Essential Fat
-required for normal physiological functioning
-3% body weight for males
-12% body weight for females
-bone marrow, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, etc
Storage fat
-fat that accumulates as adipose
-energy reserve, cushions/ protects organs
Male: 12% body mass
Female: 15% body mass
Fat Cells
-size and number of fat cells determines degree of fatness
Increase in number =Hyperplasia
Increase in size=Hypertrophy
-once formed, fat cells stay for life
Overweight vs Overfat
Overweight: body weight greater than deemed appropriate
-BMI 25-29.9
Overfat: Body fat greater than deemed appropriate
BMI
> 25 =increased risk of disease
_30 obese
* Underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2)
* Normal (18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2)
* Overweight (25.0 - 29.9 kg/m2)
* Obese (> 30.0 kg/m2)
– Classes I, II and III
Waist Circumference Girth
-increased measurement associated with; coronary heart disease, hypertension, type 3 diabetes
Men>102cm
Women>88cm
Waist to Hip Ratio
Gynoid (pear shape)
Android (apple shape)
Somatotypes (3)
Endomorph: round and chubby (usually females)
Mesomorph: exhibit a predominance of muscle (usually males)
Ectomorph: tall and thin
Types of Muscle: Smooth
-involuntary
-in blood vessels, organs, eye iris
-slow, uniform contractions
-fatigue resistant
Types of Muscle: Cardiac
-involuntary
-self generating impulses
-features of both smooth and skeletal muscle tissue
-very fatigue resistant
Types of Muscle: Skeletal
-voluntary
-connects to bony segments via tendons
-repeated contractions may lead to fatigue
-striated (dark to light under microscope)
Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle
-connective tissue made up mainly of collagen
-surrounds all muscle fiber bundles (muscles)
-continuous with and part of the tendons that join muscle to bone
-bundle of muscles called muscle fascicle
Anatomy of a single muscle cell (fibre)
-diameter of a thin human hair
-maximum length 12cm (4.5in)
-multinucleated cylindrical cell
Sarcolemma
cell membrane-surrounding cell
Sarcoplasm
cytoplasm- fluid
Sarcomere
functional unit- where contraction takes place
Myofibrils
contain contractile protein -contain myofilaments
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
net lie labrynth of tubules inside fibre
T-Tubules
transverse tubules- connect SR with outer membrane (sarcolemma)
Actin and Myosin
actin (thin) forms framework and slides over myosin (thick filaments in middle)
Sliding Filament Theory
myofilament actin slides across myosin
-myosin heads (cross bridges) grab actin, actin slides across myosin causing contraction of the sarcomere unit and thus muscle contraction
Muscle Contraction
-many sarcomeres shortening (actin sliding over myosin)
Myofilaments= myosin and actin (comprise the sarcomere unit)
Isometric State
Isometric: when muscle force equals the load, the muscle will not change in length
-2nd greatest force production
Concentric State
Concentric: when muscle force exceeds the load, the muscle will shorten
least force production
Eccentric State
Eccentric: when muscle force is less than the load, the muscle will lengthen
-greatest force production
Factors Influencing force of Muscle Contractions
Health, Training, Joint angle, Muscle cross-sectional area, speed of movement, muscle fibre type, age, sex
Joint Angle
-type of contraction and the force required to resist an external load change as the joint angle changes
-contraction and force required depend on whether the external force exceeds, or is less than, the internal applied force
Joint Angle length tension relationship
:Too far apart- fewer cross bridges can form= less force produced
:Optimal distance apart- maximal cross bridge formation= maximal force produced
:Too close together= cross bridges overlap =less force produced
Muscle Cross-Sectional Area
-body ass is positively correlated with strength, provided that the mass is primarily muscle tissue or lean mass
-the larger, the more force it ca generate
Speed of Movement
-increase= force a muscle can generate decreases
-cross brides compromised since cant uncouple and couple fast enough
