Q

what is motor learning?

A

changes in motor performance and control as a result of training

32
Q

what does muscle performance measure?

A

strength, power endurance

33
Q

define type 1 muscle fibers (red)

A

slow twitch, sustain low level of tension over time

ex) endurance running

34
Q

define type 2 muscle fibers (white)

A

fast twitch, generate tension quickly and fatigue quickly

ex) sprinting, resistance training , short term work

35
Q

define fast glycotic

A

large and white
fast contraction
fatigue quickly

36
Q

what is torque?

A

rotational work

37
Q

what is work?

A

force x distance

38
Q

what is power?

A

rate at which muscles work

work/time

39
Q

what is strength?

A

maximum voluntary force produced

40
Q

true or false : the more fine the skill is the LESS fibers the motor neuron innervates

A

true

41
Q

what is open chain resistance training (OKC) and think of some exercises that demonstrate it

A

terminal segment is free to move

ex) jumping jacks , skipping rope, swimming , bicep curl

42
Q

what is closed chain resistance training (CKC) and some examples of exercises

A

part of the body that you want to exercise is fixed

ex) push ups, squats

43
Q

skeletal muscle is surrounded by?

A

epimysium

44
Q

what is proprioception?

A

being able to know where your body part is in space without having to see it

45
Q

what is the most efficient determinant of tissue healing?

A

BLOOD SUPPLY

46
Q

all fibers in a motor unit contract and develop at the same time. TRUE OR FALSE

A

true

47
Q

gross motor skills = cell terminates more muscle fibers but is using less units

A

:)

48
Q

fine motor skills = cell terminates less muscles fibers but uses more units

A

:)

49
Q

what are the 3 types of cartilage

A

hyaline
elastic
fibrocartilage

50
Q

what are the 4 physical agents

A

cryotherapy
thermotherapy
hydrotherapy
sound agents

51
Q

the finer the movement the more units required …. true or false and why

A

true , because the alpha motor neuron is terminating less muscle fibers

52
Q

the larger the movement the less units required … true or false and why

A

true, because the alpha motor neuron is terminating a lot more muscle fibers

53
