| What in the PNS is responsible for motor function? | 1. peripheral nerves 2. Muscle spindle (in the muscle) sensitive to stretch 3. GTO (loc. in tendon) sensitive to load; reflex inhibition against agonist |
| Describe the physiological properties of muscle. | 1,Twitch or contrxn in response to a single electrical impulse (action potential) travels down the motor neuron 2. In a twitch response, the muscle generates peak force that drops off rapidly and returns to resting 2. twitch resp. depends on fiber type |
| Define All or none | 1. Either the muscle stimulus is strong enough to generate a contraction or not 2. All muscle fibers are stimulated to contract |
| Define tetany. | If AP are sequenced close enough, the tension generated by one muscle twitch will be summed with others to form a constant tension in the muscle fiber |

| What are the concept behind weights when used for intensity? | Concept of RM: 1 RM, 5RM, 10 RM and use of various %; in rehab commonly use % of 10RM; Rate of perceived exertion (RPE): patient exercises to a certain % of max based upon subjective feeling |
| How is trial and error used when choosing intensity? | In rehab, often use “trial and error” in choosing an initial weight, and then adjust according to the patient’s RPE and success of movement Trial and error should still be based on some objective data |
| What is the duration for endurance vs. strength/hypertrophy? | Endurance (15+ reps to fatigue) Strength/hypertrophy (6-12 reps) |
| What rest periods are considered for endurance, heavy strength, or rehab? | Endurance: 30 seconds-2 minutes Heavy strength: 3-5 minutes Rehab: 30 seconds-2 minutes |
| What is the frequency considered for an exercise prescription? | Weekly Depending on intensity: generally 3-4x per week In early rehabilitation, isometrics may be done 2-3x/day |
| What are some types of resistance programs? | Static- one position Dynamic - move in different position Variable resistance through the range where max resistance is at its strongest point Calisthenics |
| How is a static program used for stability vs. strength? | Low intensity for stability (e.g. 40% for > 10 seconds) Higher intensity for strength |
| Wha is the primary goal of static program? | Primarily enhances strength at the angle in which the muscle is stressed, physiologic overflow can occur 10 deg. in either direction (total of 20 deg) Maintain contractn for 3-10 seconds when used for strengthening; longer for stability Daily training OK |

| Describe other exercise programs: single set, multiple set | Singlet: one set per exercise with 8-12 rep to max Multiple: 2-3 warm up sets with increasing resistance followed by 2-5 sets of 5-6 RM; this syst may yield optimal results for strength increases |
| Describe a pyramid system | Pyramid system: continuous sets of exercises progressing from light to heavy while decreasing the number of reps |
| Describe variable resistance program | Dynamic accommodating exercise goal is to load the muscle near maximum at each point in the range. e.g. Nautilus, however this has not been shown to be any more effective than PRE |

| Metabolic waste theory | Multiple studies have shown that about 1 hour of recovery after exercise to exhaustion is needed to remove all lactic acid (Francis, 1983) |
| Muscle spasm theory | Suggests that a feedback cycle of pain caused by ischemia and a buildup of metabolic waste products during exercise leads to spasm. It was hypothesized that in turn this caused the DOMS sensation and an ongoing pain spasm cycle (Devries, 1966). |
| Etiology of DOMS | Current research suggests that DOMS is linked to some form of contraction induced microtrauma to muscle fibers and/or connective tissues resulting in some degeneration of tissue |
| Describe the damage tomuscles that last for several days | The damage which is evident for several days after exercise is accompanied by inflammation (Abraham, 1977) Myofibular damage at the Z bands This effects the structural integrity of the contractile units |
| Immobilization can cause _____________. | atrophy |
| What factors influence the rate of atrohpy | Position of limb and length of muscle during immobilization (lengthened muscle will atrophy less than shortened) Muscles with high % of ST atrophy to a greater extent than those with high % of FT Antigravity muscles greater than their antagonists |
| What muscle are the most vulnerable to atrophy? | Antigravity muscles that cross a single joint and contain large % of ST (e.g. soleus, multifidus, vastus medialis) Antigravity; multi joint; primarily ST (e.g. erector spinae, gastrocnemius, rectus femoris) |
| What is known about remobilization? | Not good data that supports how long it takes to recover following immobilization Muscle detraining may be twice as fast as training |
| What components must be considered for adaptations to resistance training? | Connective tissue Muscle Biochemical Neural Endocrine |
| What adaptations are made with CT during resistance training? | Tension overload may stimulate a prolif of CT that surround the indiv muscle fibers, fascicles This thickens and strengthens the muscles’ connective tissue harness; and results in improved structural and functional integrity of both tendons and ligaments |
| What happens to muscle during resistance training? | Hypertrophy (esp. Type II) Cross sectional area of the muscle increases Increase in myofibril volume of individual fibers Fiber splitting Potentially, an increase in number of fibers Changes in muscle depend on fiber type and the type of stimulus |
