Actin is a thick filament necessary for muscular contraction, true or false
False
Skeletal muscle is a type of involuntary muscle, true or false
False
The biceps brachii is a quadriceps muscle, true or false
False
The covering of the muscle belly of the skeletal muscle is perimysium, true or false
False
The trapezius muscle is found inferior to the latissimus dorsi, true or false
False
The shortening of a muscle is considered an eccentric contraction, true or false
False
The type two muscle fibres are considered fast twitch, true or false
True
Tendons connect muscle to bone, true or false
True
Red muscle fibres would mostly be found in 100m sprinters
False
A prime mover is also called an agonist muscle, true or false
True
The length of a sarcomere increases during muscle contraction, true or false
False
The gastrocnemius muscle is located on the anterior of the leg, true or false
False
The sternocleidomastoid muscle is located in the abdomen, true or false
False
Intramuscular coordination occurs within one muscle, true or false
True
A static contraction is when there is no visible change in muscle length, true or false
True
The glycolytic energy system is for very short, quick activities, true or false
False
What happens if your step on uneven ground and hurt your ankle, what signs should you look for and how should you treat it? (SHARP, RIPE)
Look for
Swelling, Heat, Altered function, Red, Pain
Treat: Rest, Ice, Pressure, Elevation
Name the different types of contractions (I.C.I.I)
Isotonic, concentric, isometric, isokinetic
What is a static muscle action and an example
Isometric (plank)
What are the dynamic muscle actions (C.E.I.P)
Concentric, eccentric, isokinetic, plyometric
What is an example of concentric and eccentric muscle action
Bench press
What is an example of a isokinetic muscle action
Pec deck
What is an example of an plyometric muscle action
Box jumps
What type is a fast twitch muscle fibre and give a brief description
FT-Type 2
Appear white, fast contraction,anaerobic, fatigue fast, large fibres
What type is a slow twitch muscle fibre and give a brief description
ST-Type 1
Appear red
Slow contraction, aerobic, small fibres, fatigue resistant
Static vs dynamic
Static- no visible change in muscle length
Dynamic- involves movement
Example for plyometric
Box jumps
Example for concentric
Bench press
Example for isokinetic
Swimming
Eccentric example
Bench press (lowering it)
Fast twitch
Type 2
White, fast contraction, anaerobic (sprinting
Slow twitch
Red, type 1, slow contraction, aerobic (marathon)
