Q

strength and power when looking at muscle cross sectional area

A

Q

what happens when stretched for the muscle length

A

1) a smaler proportion of the actin and myosin filaments lie mext to each other

Q

what happens when contracted for the muscle length

Q

the length-tension (force) curve what is it

A

optimal length at which muscle fibres generates their maximal force
total amount of force developed depends on the total number of myosin crossbridges interacting with active sites on the actin

16
Q

what is the difference between the less the optimal and more length less force curve

A

less - less crossbridge interaction
optimal - max crossbridge interaction, max force
more length - less crossbridge interaction = less force

Q

what are the 4 main requirements for number of athlete of athletic skills in power

A

1) maximal force that develops
2) how fat force can be developed
3) activation of ssc
4) neural co-ordination of movement

20
Q

anaerobic training can be what ttype of training

A
weight training 
plyometric drills 
speed training
agility training
interval training
21
Q

what adaptations occur after restistance training

A
increase in muscular strenght/endurance 
aerobic stays the same 
increase in rate of force production 
increase in vertical jump 
increase in anaerobic power 
increase in sprint speed
22
Q

what are acute responses to exercise

A

acute hypertrophy

23
Q

what are chronic adaptations to exercise

A

repeated stress
over compensation
chronic muscle hypertrophy

24
Q

what are the 6 factors that influence muscle mass

A
  1. genetics
  2. physical activity
  3. nutritional status
  4. endocrine infulences
  5. enviromental factors
  6. nervous system activation
25
Q

what are the neural adaptations to exercise

A

central adaptations
motor units
neuromuscular junction and reflex potentiation
anaerobic training and electromyography studies

26
Q

what are the central adaptations to the neural adaptations

A

motor cortex activity increases when the level of force developed increases and when new exercises or movements are being learned

27
Q

where does neural changes for anaerobic training occur

A

along the descending corticospinal

28
Q

where may the motor nurons intervate between

A

100

29
Q

what is the size principle

A

the recruitment and derecruitment of motor units is governed by the size principle

30
Q

what is selective recruitment

A

selective recruitment allows inhibition of lower threshold motor units to activate higher threshold units

31
Q

what are 3 possible changes with trining concerning neuromuscular junction (nmj)

A

1) increased area of nmj
2) more dispersed, irregularly shaped synapses and a greated total length of nerve terminal branching
3) increased end plate perimeter and area as well as great dispersion of acetylcholine receptors within the end plate

32
Q

what are the neuromuscular reflex potentiation adaptations

A

anaerobic training may enhanced the reflex responce, thereby enhancing the magnitude and rate of force development

33
Q

what are 4 muscular adaptation

A
  1. muscular growth
  2. fiber size changes
  3. fibre types transitions
  4. structural and architectural change
34
Q

muscular growth is refered to as

A

muscle hypertrophy

35
Q

what is hyperplasia

A

is an increase in the number of muscle fibres via longitudinal fibre splitting

36
Q

hypertrophy involves what

A

actin and myosin

37
Q

the myofilamients are added to

A

the external layers of the myofibril resulting in an increase in its diameter

38
Q

resistance training results in increases wht fibre types

A

types one and type 2

39
Q

what fibre type is greater in size

A

type 2

40
Q

muscle growth uses the protein balance shift what is it

A

mainly enhances protein synthesis

however some decreases in protein degradation increased number nuclei to manage new protein

41
Q

insulin like growth factors (IGF-I) skeletal muscle over load or eccentric muscle mean what?

A

local production
includes mecano-growth factor MGF
within hours of resistance training session: increases MGF

42
Q

MGF activates satellite cells by

A

either proliferate and becomes new nuclei

or becomes myoblasts, fuse with existing protien filiments to form new contractile protein

43
Q

what is te fibre type transition

A

IIx –> IIax –> IIa –> IIac –> IIc then IIc

44
Q

what does resistance training increase wen looking at structural and architecturl changes

A
myofibrillar volume 
cytoplasmic density 
sarcoplasmic reticulum 
t-tuble density 
sodium-pottassium  atpase activity
45
Q

what can be other muscular adaptations

A

reduce mitochondrial density
decrease capillary density
increase buffering capacity
changes in muscle substrate content
