56
Q

motor unit

A

Q

sliding filament theory: when troponin is moved due to calcium activity, ___ can attach to ___ forming a cross bridge via its myosin head

A

myosin, actin

59
Q

ATP is split at the ____ attachment site, which releases energy and allows the ___ head to pull the ___ to shorten/contract the muscle fiber

myosin-actin
myosin
actin

60
Q

a muscle fiber is either in a state of producing max tension or not producing any tension

A

all or none principle

61
Q

two types of motor unit firing patterns

A

synchronized, asynchronous

62
Q

synchronized firing

A

employed during high-output demands involving fast-twitch fibers and warranting significant fiber recruitment

63

employed during endurance activities involving slow-twitch fibers which conserve motor unit potential, allowing prolonged work

64
Q

agonist-antagonist relationships help facilitate

smooth force production

65
Q

agonist-antagonist relationship

A

66
Q

agonist

A

muscle that contracts/shortens during a given exercise

67
Q

antagonist

A

muscle that relaxes and lengthens during a given exercise to accommodate contraction of the agonist

68
Q

isotonic

A

tension remains constant while joint angles change

69
Q

concentric

A

occurs during the acceleration phase of a lift as the muscle shortens

70
Q

eccentric

A

occurs during the deceleration phase of a lift as the muscle lengthens

71
Q

isometric

A

tension is created but no joint angle changes
