Muscloskeletal Flashcards
Goals of Rx training
increased functional strength
increased metabolic rate
what do the benefits of Rx training feel like
more energy tasks become easier feel fitter less breathlessness confident in PA aesthic improvements
what do the benefits of Rx look like
increased functional strength reduced risk of injury increased confidence in movement increased mobility and balance increased body comp reduced CV risk factors
role of tendons
attach muscle to bones
transfer force from muscle to move skeleton
stiff
poorly vascularised
what are tendons made of
type 2 collagen fibres
tightly packed - rope like
what are golgi tendon organs
stretch receptors
inhibit muscle contractions
short term benefit of stretching
recovery - lengthen and realign muscle fibres
reduce muscle soreness
increase lymphatic drainage and venous return
remove toxins
long term benefits of stretching
reduces long term shortening
improves flexibilty
- viscoelasticity
- neural adaptaions
what are the neural adaptaions of stretching
signals back to say this is too much and painfaul
holding strech and doing consistenly allows receptors to get use to/adapt to being at that length
how often do you need to stretch for it to be noticable
3x 30secs 3x day
2/3 weeks
Bone adaptions to Rx training
best type of training
new bone formations
bone mineral denisty
power
endurance
connective tissue adapations to Rx training
increase in number an strength of connective fibres
increased cartilage viability
power
endurance
neural adaptaions to Rx training
MU synchronisation
ability to recruit MU
reduce inhibtions of GT
intemuscle coordination
power and endurance
muscular adapations to Rx training
hypertrophy
fibre type changes
endurance
power
cardiovascular changes to Rx training
capillarsaiton
increased buffering capacity
increased mitochondira
endurance
what is time under tension
is the total time in whcih a contracting muscle or group of muscles are placed under tension by an opposing force
TUT for power
0-30 secs
