Quiz Flashcards
elasticity
The ability of a structure to return to its normal length after application of an elongation force or load.
Vicosity
Viscosity is the resistance to an outside force the cause of fluid-like, permanent deformation
Viscoelasticity
Ability to resist a change of shape when to an outside load but inability to completely revert to previous state.
Plasticity
The ability of a substance to undergo permanent change in size and shape.
Creep
Elongation of tissue which occurs over constant low level loading
Stress
Force that changes the shape
Strain
Amount of deformation a structure undergoes when a force is applied
Volume
Quantity measure of work performed.-km covered by runners /cyclist/rowers
-sets reps average load weight lifters
Intensity
Measure of quality of work performed.
Speed employed by runner cyclist/rowers
%1Rm for weight lifters
Frequency
A measure of how often one trains
3-12 session per week
2-3 sessions per body part for resistance training
After an Acute injury
RICER
Protect, resist activity (rest, but keep other parts active, ice, compression, elevation)
Control pain
Maintain CRF
Hysteresis
Repetitive stretching increases
Temperature and ROM
propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation’s
Muscle spindles
Lie between extrafusal muscle fibres Sensitive to stretch Muscles fibres containing muscle spindles are intrafusal muscle fibres Alpha and beta gamma nerves Ia,1b and II afferent/sensory Less = more precise movements
Golgi tendon organs
Sensitive to contraction and tension in muscle
Located @ musculotendinous junction contain 1b nerves
Stretching technique
Static
Dynamic
Ballistic
