what is muscle performance?
capacity of a muscle to perform work
work=force x distance
what are the key elements of muscle performance?
strength, power, and Endurance
what is strength?
ability of contractile tissue to produce tension and a resultant force based on the demands placed on the muscle
what is power?
related to strength and speed of movement
work/unit of time
force x distance/time
what is endurance?
ability to perform low-intensity, repetitive, or sustained activities over a prolonged period
what is a motor unit?
motor neuron and muscle fibers it innervates
low MU ratio
small, fine tune muscles
hand intrinsics, eye muscles
high MU ratio
large, gross motion muscles
gastrocs, quads, postural muscles
what is an action potential?
stimulation of MU by nerve impulse
what is sliding filament theory?
contraction: muscles shortens and H band gets smaller
relaxation: muscle lengthens and H band gets larger
relative size of sarcomere changes, not length of filaments
what are fast twitch muscles for?
endurance
what are type 1 fibers?
slow twitch
slow oxidative
darker
110 ms to reach peak activation
slow acting myosin ATPase
Greater quantity of mitochondira, myoglobin, and glycogen stores
atrophy w/faster immobilization
what are type 2 fibers?
fast oxidative
lighter in color
50-100 ms to reach max tension
2a: amalgamation of type 1 and 2b fibers
- recruited more during most activities than 2b
2b: opposite of type 1
- requires more stimulus to fire so not recruited during low or medium intensity activities like a 100m dash
fast acting myosin ATPase (ATP converted more quickly=faster energy production)
more extensive SR=more efficient delivery of Ca2+
what are the determining factors of muscle strength?
non-modifiable: genetics (height, structure, limb length), gender
modifiable: lifestyle, exercise, neural recruitment, tone
what is a muscle agonist?
the muscle producing the action
what is a muscle antagonist?
the muscle which would resist the action
what the therapeutic principle of overload?
a load that exceeds– the metabolic capacity of the muscle
muscles must be challenged to perform at a level greater than what it’s used to
no overload=no strength building
too much load=injury-
what influences overload?
magnitude of injury
type of injury
patient age
stage of healing
body segment involved
patient’s activity level
patient’s response to injury
patient’s goals
what is overload for strength?
amount of resistance is gradually and progressively Increased
what is overload for power?
increased resistance and distance and/or reducing the time
what is overload for endurance?
increasing the time or reps of a muscle contraction (increase sets/decrease time b/w sets)
SNAP
specific exercises
no pain
attainable goals
progressive overload
SNAP: specific exercises
SAID principle: muscle will adapt to demands
functional demands should progressive towards functional demands of activity
rest periods of about 30-90 seconds
after neural adaptations take place, muscles gains are made through fiber hypertrophy
most gains in early stages of rehab and slower gains later on
how long may hypertrophy and vascular changes take?
6-12 weeks
SNAP: no pain
no pain during exercise
know baseline pain
ask scale of pain, where pain is, and what type of pain it is
see if pain increases or decreased
“no pain, no gain” doesn’t typically apply in rehab
ask for 24 hour response
SNAP: attainable goals
good to set immediate, short, and long term goals
can be adjusted as needed
prn
as needed
immediate goals timeline
that day, that exercise, that set
