Quiz 2 Continued Flashcards
4 Types of Muscle Contractions
- Isometric
- Isotonic
- Isokinetic
4.Plyometric
forcefully contracting a muscle in a static position
no change in the length of muscle or the joint angle
Isometrics
+ of Isometrics (2)
Safe
Cheap
- of Isometrics (3)
- Can’t quantify
- Limited to specific angle
- Hard to motivate
moving a resistive force through a full range of motion
ex. free weights not machines
Isotonics
2 types of Isotonics
Concentric
Eccentric
Shortening of muscle
Concentric Isotonics
lengthening of muscle
Eccentric Isotonics
+ of Isotonics (4)
- complete ROM
- Develop optimal strength
- Develop skill & coordination
- Able to quantify
a dynamic resistive exercise that incorporates a full range of motion with the maximal force at all points in the range of motion.
speed is controlled
have a constant and consistent force which adjusts during the range of motion
uses all or more of muscle fibers
more often used in rehab
Isokinetics
must overcome inertia
different weight throughout because of momentum and gravity
slow and controlled movement that is not specific
cost
not always safe
can cheat the machine
- of isokinetics
max resistance through a full ROM
train at various speeds with specific effects due to the contraction speed **
agonist/antagonist training in series
less risk for overload
minimal muscle soreness
very safe
eccentrics
+ of isokinetics
maximizes the myotatic or stretch reflex
Plyometrics
developed from exercises used in 1960’s
designed to develop power characterized as “explosive”
concentrates on large amount of force in a very short period of time
Plyometrics
3 phases of plyometrics
- Vigorous stretch
- Transition Period
- Final Reaction & motion
Spring Loading - Eccentric contraction
ex. 1 ft box & when you land
vigorous stretch
as short as possible
ex. waiting before the jump
transition period of plyometrics
Concentric contraction
Explosiveness
Final reaction & Motion of Plyometrics
distal segment is fixed
multiarticular closed chain is created
Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises
distal segment is allowed to move freely through space
one joint will be worked at a time
Open Kinetic chain Exercises
foot or ankle is fixed
multiple joints simultaneously
ex. squat: ankle, knees, hips bending
preferred type of activity
example of closed kinetic chain exercises
Knee extension machines in the rec
Does not recommend
open kinetic chain exercises example
due to overexertion
specific indicators include
- acute muscle soreness
- muscle stiffness
- delayed muscle soreness
- muscle cramping
Muscle soreness
2 Types of Muscle Soreness
- Acute Onset
- Delayed Onset (DOMS)
