Responses Flashcards
1
Q
what are the responses to the muscular system
A
- increase muscle temperature
- increase muscle pliability
- increase lactic acid production
- micro-tears/DOMS
- increase blood supply
2
Q
what does increase blood supply mean
A
- increase in demand for oxygen during exercise
- demands are met by increase in blood supply
- by vasodilation
3
Q
what does increase muscle temperature mean
A
more energy produced= more heat produced and a warm up slowly increases temperature
4
Q
what does increase muscle pliability mean
A
- warming of muscles= more pliable
- pliable muscles less likely to suffer injury
- improve joint flexibility
5
Q
what does increase lactate production mean
A
leads to build up of lactate in muscle so muscles fatigue and can impede muscular contractions if not removed quickly
6
Q
what does micro tears mean
A
pain caused by resistance training that occur when you exercise as muscles are put under stress
7
Q
what is DOMS
A
pain felt in muscles 24-48 hours after strenuous/ resistance training caused by microtears
