Q

How can the optimal strength (force production) of a sarcomere be produced

A

Depends on the resting length of the sarcomere; that produces the most force

Q

What is a motor unit?

A

A neuron and all the muscle fibre that neuron innervates (supply with neurons)

20
Q

Two types of muscle fibre?

A

Type 1 and Type 2

21
Q

Same Neurons and Muscle Fibres

A

All muscle fibres innervated by the same motor neuron are same fibre (Must be Type 1 or Type 2 Neuron)

22
Q

How do your muscle fibres generate more force?

A

Principle of Orderly Recruitment

23
Q

Principle Of Orderly Recruitment

A

Motor Units are always recruited in the same order

24
Q

What does recruitment in the same order mean?

A

i.e. all of motor units 1 will be recruited, and then if more force is needed, then all of motor unit 2 will be recruited and so on.

25
Q

How does strength training affect recruitment?

A

Recruits a great amount of motor units, as well as improve speed of recruitment

26
Q

2 main factors of strong muscle contractions

A

Frequency of impulses and recruitment of motor units

27
Q

Muscle Fibre Continuum

A

A scale going from type 1 on one side, type IIa in the middle and Type IIb on the other end.

28
Q

Based on contractile and metabolic properties

A

How muscle fibre types are identified

29
Q

Type I

A

Oxidative (aerobic), Slow Twitch Muscles (slowly uses energy)

30
Q

Type IIa

A

Glycolytic/Oxidative, Fast twitch Muscles

31
Q

Type IIb

A

Glycolytic, Fast Twitch Muscles

32
Q

Usual composition of Fibre Types

A

50-50 slow:fast

33
Q

Why do people sometimes have more of one fibre type than the other?

A

Usually explained by predominant genes

34
Q

Is it possible to fully change from one fibre type to another?

A

You can’t move from one to the other, but you can train to move across the continuum

35
Q

How can muscle fibre composition be measured?

A

Muscle Biopsy; taking a piece of muscle and analyzing to see what muscle type they have

36
Q

What do the muscle fibre types display under a microscope?

A

Different sizes and colour for each type. Some people have more of one muscle type over the other.

37
Q

Reason for different colour fibre types?

A

Presence of myoglobin (O2 carrying) and RBC carrying compounds.

38
Q

Primary fuel of Type I

A

Lipids

39
Q

High capillary density

A

Type 1

40
Q

How active is ATPase enzyme in Type I

A

Very low as it doesn’t need to produce a lot of ATP for short periods as Type I is longer periods.

41
Q

Force of Type IIb?

A

Generates force much more quickly as this is associated with activities needing to produce a lot of force in a short amount of time

42
Q

Anaerobic process and fatigues quicker

A

Type IIb

43
Q

Major fuel of Type IIb

A

Creatine Phosphate

44
Q

How active is ATPase enzyme in Type IIb

A

Very high as it needs to produce a lot of energy in a short amount of time

45
Q

Major Fuel of Type IIa

A

Glycogen (stored sugar)

46
Q

What does Type IIa possess that the other two don’t have simultaneously?

A

Aerobic and Anaerobic energy generating capabilities

47
Q

How active is ATPase enzyme in Type IIa

A

Moderately active
