Muscle Strength Training Flashcards
maximum force that a muscle can develop during a single contraction
strength
3 components of muscle performance
strength
power
endurance
muscles ability to resist or pull a force
strength
maximal torque produced when angle of pull is ?
90 degrees
when does a patient have the stronger MA
when they are in full contraction of the muscles
physiological advantage is
the muscles ability to shorten
greatest physiological advantage is made when
a muscle is at its resting length
the slower you are, the stronger you are
concentric contractions
the faster u go, the stronger you are
eccentric contractions
force production directly related to velocity of shortening
eccentric contractions
force production is greater 120-160% in what kind of contractions
eccentric
during concentric contractions….
slowing speed of contraction allows more time to develop more tension
durign eccentric contractions…..
increased speed of lengthening produces more
tension
work/unit time
Fd/t
power
the ability to sustain forces repeatedly or to generate forces over a certain period of time
endurance
2 muscle fiber types
type 1 or slow twitch
type 2 or fast twitch
100 m sprint
type 2
800 m run
type 1 and 2
marathon
type 1
olympic weight lifting
type 2
soccer, hockey
type 1 and 2
boxing
type 1 and 2
distance cycling
type 1
tennis
type 1 and 2
Basic functional unit of muscular activity
motor unit
Once an actionpotential is developed in a motor
neuron, all of the muscle fibers that the
motor unit innervates contract and
develop force at the same time.
all or none principle
As muscle force is
increased, larger axonmotor units are
recruited
the size principle
Increased cross-sectional size, increased
force generating capability
biceps are what kind of muscle fiber
fusiform
rectus femoris is what kind of muscle
bipennate
deltoid is what kind of muscle
multipennate
muscle fibers run parallel to the muscles long axis.
speed
fusiform
muscle fibers have a featherlike arrangement, lie at an oblique angle.
Strength
