Muscles And Contraction Flashcards
3 types of contractions
Concentric, eccentric, isometric
Concentric contraction
“Shortening” bicep curls lifting an object
Eccentric contraction
“Lengthening” bicep curls lowering weight
Isometric
“Static” Lift/move immovable object (wall)
Static contraction
(Isometric) when muscle generates force w out changing length
Dynamic contraction
Change in length during contraction
3 energy systems
Phosphagen (ATP-PCr), Glycoltic, oxidative
Phospagen system
Fast, but short lived (10-15s) short high intensity
Glycolysis system
Gives energy for moderate duration (30-2min)
Oxidative
Slow to start, gives sustained energy for long duration
Activities for phosphagen
100m dash, powerlifting, shot put
Glycolytic activities
400m-800 sprints, soccer, CrossFit
Oxidative activities
Marathon running, swimming(endurance), cycling
Reflex Arc component 5
Receptor, sensory(afferent), intermediate nerve fibre, motor(efferent), effector organ
Most important fuel source in body 4 all types energy production
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), stores & releases energy 4 various cellular processes
