PPT 2-6 Flashcards
Stress
Amount of force (load) on a material
Strain
Amount of give (flex, bend, lengthening, deformation) that occurs in response to stress
CT response to lack of stress? Leads to?
-Immobilization, disuse, lack of WB
-loss of CT strength, loss of PG, irregular pattern of collagen cross linking
Extensibility
Able to stretch
Elasticity
Able to recoil to original resting length
Sarcomere
Basic contractile unit of muscle fiber
Torque
Perpendicular force x length of lever arm (measured in foot pounds)
Type 1 muscle fibers
-slow twitch
-aerobic exercise/long periods of time
-fat, protein, and carbs for energy
-use lots of O2 and produce little lactic acid
Type 2 muscle fibers
-anaerobic exercise
-ATP or glucose for fuel, consume little O2
-produce a lot of lactic acid
Force velocity curve
Inverse relationship between speed of contraction and force generated
Class 1 lever
Fulcrum in the middle, effort and load on either side going down (see saw)
Class 2 lever
Fulcrum at the end, load in middle going down, effort at the end going up (wheel barrow or heel raise)
Class 3 lever
Fulcrum at the end, effort in the middle going up, load at the end going down (bicep curl)
Newton’s 1st Law
Body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in uniform motion will remain in motion until an outside force acts upon it (law of inertia or equilibrium)
Newton’s 2nd Law
Acceleration of an object depends on mass and net force acting on it.
