well done your studying!
what is an antagonistic pair?
two muscles that work together
what is the agonist?
known as prime mover
the muscle contracting and pulling a bone
what is the antagonist?
the muscle relaxing and allowing for movement
when does a concentric contraction occur?
when a working muscle gets shorter and fatter
Eg lifting a weight in a bicep curl
when does a eccentric contraction occur?
when a working muscle gets longer and thinner
Eg lowering the weight in a bicep curl
what is an isotonic contraction ?
when a muscle is working against resistance and it shortens or lengthens - movements is involved
eg during a bicep curl
what is an isometric contraction ?
when a muscle is working against a resistance and stays the same length- no movements is involved
eg a gymnast holding a stationary handstand
long term effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system?
• heart become larger with thicker muscular walls - more force can be applied with each beat
heart chambers become larger so stroke vol increases as well as cardiac output
arteries become larger and elastic
•more blood capillaries develop in muscles so the more venules get rid of more waste products
•more red blood cells so more O2 can be carried by the blood
