Q

isometric

A

When the resistance exceeds the muscle’s ability to overcome it and no shortening occurs.
-aka static muscle action
-no joint movement

34
Q

A concentric muscle action occurs when……

A

the agonist muscle contracts, shortens, and subsequent action occurs at a joint.

35
Q

example of a concentric muscle action

A

the biceps muscle shortens, develops tension to overcome the mass and resistance of the dumbbell being held in the hand, and causes flexion of the elbow as the dumbbell curl exercise is executed.

36
Q

example of an eccentric muscle action

A

the agonist muscle, being the bicep, contracting and creating tension to lowering the dumbbell, is an eccentric muscle action.

37
Q

a ____________ muscle action is when a muscle shortens against resistance and an ____________ action is when that same muscle lengthens against resistance.

A

-concentric
-eccentric

38
Q

An eccentric action will occur with……….

A

with gravity in a slow vertical downward motion, the momentum of a horizontal motion, or the momentum of a vertical upward motion.

39
Q

An isometric contraction occurs when…..

A

when force/tension developed by the muscle is equal to, or less than, the mass or resistance needed to be overcome

40
Q

an example of isometric action

A

if someone is attempting to do a dumbbell curl with more weight than their bicep muscle can overcome, they can contract maximally against the load or weight of the dumbbell and they muscle will generate force and tension against the weight; however, not enough shortening of the muscle will occur to produce flexion of the elbow.

41
Q

vastus medialis, lateralis, and intermedius muscles of the quadricep group of the upper leg with their responsibility being only extension of the knee.

42
Q

example of multi-joint muscles

A

the rectus femoris of the quadricep group. it produces extension of the knee; however, it also produces flexion of the hip since its origin crosses the hip joint and attaches on the pelvic bone.

74
Q

example of force-velocity curve
