32
Q

Mitochondria (Definition, Muscle)

A

Provide energy to the muscle fibres using oxygen

33
Q

Capillary Density (Definition, Muscle)

49
Q

Positive Short-term impacts of physical activity (3) (muscular system)

A
  • increased blood flow
  • increase in muscle temperature
  • increase alertness
50
Q

Negative short-term effects of physical activity (3) (muscular system)

A
  • increased chance of muscle soreness
  • can be left fatigued
  • depleted energy and myoglobin stores
51
Q

Importance of a warm up (2) (muscular system)

A
  • increase in blood flow improves oxygen, glycogen and triglyceride levels
  • muscle warm ups and stretching reduces the risk of injury in muscles
52
Q

Importance of a cool down (2) (muscular system)

A
  • provides an opportunity to replenish glycogen and cp levels
  • refreshes levels of oxygen in the myoglobin and gets rid of lactic acid
53
Q

Positive long-term effect of physical activity (4) (muscular system)

A
  • increased muscle fibre thickness
  • increased number of muscle fibres
  • increased fuel sources (CP, glycogen and triglycerides)
  • muscle hypertrophy
54
Q

Negative long-term effects of physical activity (2) (muscular system)

A
  • repeated activity with little rest can cause overuse injuries in the muses
  • possible injuries due to inflammation
55
Q

Isometric Contraction Definition

A

Muscle contraction were the muscle is neither shortening or lengthening, but still under tension

56
Q

Concentric Contraction Definition

A

Muscle contraction were the muscle shortens under tension

57
Q

Eccentric contraction definition

A

Muscle contraction were the muscle lengthens under tension
