Movement Science

Question 1

Length Tension Relationship

Answer 1

Resting length of muscle at tension it can produce

Question 2

Force Couple

Answer 2

Muscles working together to produce movement

Question 3

Force velocity curve

Answer 3

As velocity of contraction increases, concentric force decreases and eccentric force increases

Question 4

Neuromuscular efficiency

Answer 4

ability to produce and reduce force and stabilize kinetic chain in all 3 planes

Question 5

Structural efficiency

Answer 5

alignment of musculoskeletal system that allows center of gravity to be maintained over a base of support

Question 6

Davis Law

Answer 6

Soft tissue models along the lines of stress

Question 7

Autogenic inhibition

Answer 7

neural impulses that sense tension are greater than impulses that cause contraction. Inhibits muscle spindles

Question 8

Reciprocal Inhibition

Answer 8

Simultaneous contraction of one muscle and relaxation of its agonist to cause movement

Question 9

Relative Flexibility

Answer 9

Tendency of body to seek path of least resistance

Question 10

Pattern overload

Answer 10

repeating same motion places abnormal stress on body

Question 11

Postural distortion patterns

Answer 11

predictable muscle imbalances

Question 12

altered reciprocal inhibition

Answer 12

muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist which inhibits functional antagonist

Question 13

synergistic dominance

Answer 13

synergist takes over for prime mover

Question 14

muscle imbalance

Answer 14

alteration of muscle length surrounding a joint
