Physiology, Kinesiology & Anatomy Flashcards
What are the 4 STEPS to bridging the gap between current health/fitness levels and future goals?
Assess, Design, Instruct, Re-Assess
What are the Goals mentioned by the client?
Explicit Goals
Which type of muscle fibers are FAST TWITCH / ANAEROBIC fibers, which are good for brief powerful movements like weight lifting and sprints?
Type 2B Muscle Fibers
Which type of muscle fibers are MODERATELY FAST twitch fibers, which are best for activities between 30 seconds to 2 minutes?
Type 2A Muscle Fibers
Which type of muscle fibers are SLOW TWITCH / AEROBIC fibers, which are good for exercise longer than 3 minutes?
Type 1 Muscle Fibers
What is it called when muscle fibers CONTRACT in response to electrical signals sent by motor neurons?
Action Potential
What is a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it activates?
Motor Unit
What is the fibrous cord attaching muscle to bone?
Tendon
What are the 3 LAYERS OF FASCIA?
Epimysium - Outer
Perimysium - Group/Bundles
Endomysium - Inner
What is the sheet of fibrous connective tissue that separates and contains muscle?
Fascia
What are the 3 types of muscle?
Skeletal, Smooth and Cardiac
What is soreness that extends beyond 48 hours?
DOMS
(Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness)
What is soreness that lasts 24-48 hours?
PEMS
(Post Exercise Muscle Soreness)
The increase in muscle cells in the body with corresponding increase in muscle size (and also very rare) is known as…
Hyperplasia
The wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from a lack of use is known as…
Atrophy
The increase in muscle size is known as…
Hypertrophy
What are the strongest and weakest muscle actions?
Concentric is the weakest/shortening.
Eccentric is the strongest/lengthening.
(Also most prone to injury)
Which muscle contraction is an exercise where muscle speed is consistent?
Isokinetic Contraction
Which muscle contraction is an exercise where concentric and eccentric action is generated to move where muscle force doesn’t change?
Isotonic Contraction
Which muscle contraction is when a muscle neither shortens or lengthens and works to hold everything in place?
Isometric Contraction
Which muscle contraction is when a muscle LENGTHENS under tension - also the down/decelerating/negative movement?
Eccentric Contraction
Which muscle contraction is when a muscle SHORTENS under tension - also the LIFTING UP phase?
Concentric Contraction
What Law states that bones adapt to the mechanical stress placed upon them?
Wolff’s Law
What is the disk of cartilaginous cells separating the diaphysis and epiphysis, as well as the SITE OF LONGITUDINAL GROWTH?
Epiphyseal Plate
