Skeletal Muscle Flashcards
Muscle Strength
determined by how much weight a muscle can lift
Measured by the amount of torque a muscle can generate.
Muscle Growth
After you workout, your body repairs or replaces damaged muscle fibers through a cellular process where muscle fibers are fused together to form new muscle protein strands or myofibrils
Muscle Endurance
the ability to continue contracting a muscle, or group of muscles, against resistance, such as weights or body weight, over a period of time.
measured by the max amount of contractions made before fatigue
Muscle Fatigue
Muscle soreness; When the body is providing as much oxygen to the cells as required your cells have no problem keeping up with aerobic respiration When you are requiring more energy than the oxygen you are taking in your cells being to go through anaerobic respiration
