Scientific Princ.

QuestionAnswer
3 types of muscle tissue -skeletal -cardiac -smooth
strength is: max. force a muscle can exert in a single contraction ex)BB back squats
Power is: max. rate of force a msucle can develop in a single contraction ex) olympic clean and jerk lifting
endurance is: the ability to maintain or repeatedly develop force ex) curl up
5 chronic training responses: -hypertrophy -^bone density -^stored ATP -enhance ADL's -^tolerance lactic acid -enhance neural recruitment
5 acute training responses: -^BP (systolic & diastolic) -^ATP-CP stores -^neural fatigue -^levels of lactic acid -decrease stored glycogen
ligaments: attach bone to bone
tendons: attach muscle to bone
cartilage: -hyaline cartilage -fibrocartilage
fascia: muscle covering
joint capsule: dense ct and membranes
6 functions of bone: -movement -protection -support -rbc production -energy storage -calcium storage
bones are made with: -calcium -protein
deformation: the "give" bones have to allow absorption of impact
characteristics of skeletal muscle: -elasticity (stretchable & pliable) -extensibility (extends & protrudes) -excitability (neural & chemical compounds) -contractility (muscle contraction ability)
1 muscle cell is made up of proteins: actin and myosin
actin and myosin form blocks called: sarcomeres
sarcomeres connect together to form: long strans of mycrofibrils
thousands of mycrofibrils form: 1 muscle cell
thousands of individual muscle cells grouped together form: the muscle
sliding filament mechanism: explains contractions ex) muscles don't actually "shorten", the myosin slides over actin proteins, creating "bulge" during contraction
agonist muscle: movement produced by moving ex) in bicep curl, agonist= bicep brachii
antagonist muscle: opposing movement producing muscle ex) bicep curl, antagonist= tricep brachii (reciprocal inhibition telling the tri to let the bicep work)
stabilizers/fixators: supporting joint or restricting a movement muscle ex)bicep curl, wrist & should joint(must be kept neutral & stable during exercise to benefit/not get hurt) ex) isometric
synergists: assisting in a similar muscle movement, muscles that produce similar motion ex)bicep curl, biceps brachii=synergist
agonist, antagonist, stabilizers/fixators work together as the: synergist
motor unit is = to: 1 neuron & all attached muscle fibers [1-3000 fibers (cells) for 1 nerve] ex)medial gastro. (if theres 1 000 000 fibers/cells @ approx. 3000 fibers/nerves, there are 33 motor units)
1 neuron goes from the spinal cord and: splits off up to 3000 times for muscle fibers
each motor unit is made up of all: slow twitch fibers
"all-or-nothing" response: someone telling you to work your "inner" or "outer" pecs is false because the pecs will contract as a whole
min. time component of FITTE for VO2Max =: 20 mins. for noticed improvements
body controls motor unit force by: depending on the activity, the body automatically chooses slow or fast twitch fibers
neural learning: trained & untrained (nerve remembers the "phone number" of muscle fibers)
neural recruitment causes: beginners to rapidly increase muscle in the first 2-4 weeks (not hypertrophy)
during a muscle contraction actin/myosin can do three things: 1. move closer together (concentric contraction) 2. move farther apart (ecentric contraction) 3. stay in the same position (isometric contraction)
muscle expresses strength by (3 things): 1. # of fibers or motor units recruited 2. # of fibers contracting simultaneously
concentric contraction: 1. positive, against gravity (always muscle's intention) 2. eccentric: negative, with or into gravity (imposed on muscle); results in DOMS
DOMS: delayed onset muscle soreness; 2 or 3 days of soreness (not from lactic acid , from good type of muscle tissue)
muscle for shoulder abduction: middle deltoid
muscle used for elbow extension: tricep
muscle used for shoulder adduction: latissimus dorsi
muscle used for elbow flexion: bicep brachii

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:
