Part Three Flashcards
Prime mover of muscles. Muscle most directly involved in bring about the movement
Agonist
Muscles that can slow down or stop the movement. Assists in joint stabilization and braking
Antagonist
Muscles that assist indirectly in a movement. IE scapular stability during upper arm movement.
Synergist
Muscle force and resistive force on opposite sides of the fulcrum
First class lever
Resistive force acts the same side of the fulcrum as the muscle force
Second class
Resistive force and muscle force act on the same side of the fulcrum
Third class lever
Change in velocity per unit of time
Acceleration
Time rate of doing work. Work divided by time
Power
The breakdown of larger molecules into smaller molecules
Catabolism
The formation of larger molecule from smaller molecules
Anabolism
The maximum oxygen uptake a person can sustain
VO2 Max
Hormones from adrenal cortex and gonads ie. cortisol, test, estradiol
Steriod hormones
Hormones composed of amino acid chains
Polypeptide hormones
Hormones synthesized from amino acids tyrosine or tryptophan
Amine hormones
What are the most important adrenal hormones in strength and conditioning
Cortisol and catecholamines
Spongy bone
Trabecular
Compact bone
Cortical
The amount of blood pumped by the heart in liters per minute. Stroke volume x heart rate
Cardiac output
Volume of air inhaled and exhaled with each breath
Tidal volume
