test 3 Flashcards
strength depends on what 3 things?
angle of pull, physiological advantage, speed of contraction
shortening of muscle
CONCENTRIC
lengthening of a muscle
eccentric
work per unit time or how fast work is being produced
POWER
ability to sustain force rep. or to generate froce over a certain period of time
ENDURANCE
what examines isometric contractions, repeated dynamic contractions and isokinetic dynamometers
ENDURANCE
which muscle fiber type is slow twitch, low force, slow contraction and high fatigue restistant
TYPE 1
which muscle fiber is fast twitch, high force, low fatigue resistant
TYPE 2X
which muscle fibers is moderately fast, high oxidative, higgh force, and low fatigue resistance
TYPE 2 A
Motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates
motor unit
once an action potential is developed in a motor neuron, all of the muscle fibers that the motor unit innervates contracts and dev. force at the same time
ALL OR NONE PRINCIPLE
increase ed. number of motor units
increase ed. frequency of their discharge
GRADUATION OF FORCE
low force activities activate only a few motor units
higher force req. enlist more motor units
as muscle forces is inc.
larger axon motor units are rcruited
size principle
strongest muscle fiber type
PENNATE
which muscle fibers are good for SPEED
fusiform
which muscle fibers are good for STRENGTH
PENNATE
angle between muscle fibers and an imaginary line btw muscles oriign and insertion
ANGLE OF PENNATION
if muscle performance is to improve, a load that exceeds the metaoblic capactiy of the muscle must be applied
overload principle
SAID
specific adaptation to imposed demands
type of demand put on body will dictate the type of adaptation
SAID- specific adaptation to imposed demands
training a pt. in a specific manner to produce a specific adaptation or training outcome
specificity
intensity of program must become progressively greater in order to cont. to make gains
progression
2 or more resps then youre goal in two consecutive workouts
2 for 2 rule
carryover of training effects from one variation of exercise or task to another
transfer of training
