Question
Answer
What is isotonic?   constant load, variable speed  
🗑
What are the types of Strength Training?   resistance & therapeutic  
🗑
Physical activity is intended to?   increase muscle strength and mass  
🗑
Strength training is critical for?   maintaining, enhancing and regaining strength to improve body function during all phases of recovery  
🗑
What is resistance exercise?   active exercise in which a dynamic or static muscle contraction is resisted by an outside force  
🗑
What is therapeutic exercise?   resistance training applied in a systematic and individualized manner designed to improve, restore, or enhance physical function.  
🗑
Muscle strength is determined by:   neural control, cross-sectional area, muscle fiber arrangement, muscle length, angle of pull & fiber type distribution.  
🗑
What is neural control?   nerves that tell muscles what to do  
🗑
What are fiber type distribution?   Type 1 or Type 2  
🗑
What are some muscle fiber types?   slow twitch & fast twitch  
🗑
What is slow twitch?   Type 1, red oxidative (uses oxygen)  
🗑
What does slow twitch have?   large numerous mitochondra (energy), triglycerides, enzymes for aerobic work  
🗑
What is slow twitch good for?   endurance activities  
🗑
What is fast twitch?   Type II, which glycolytic (lack of oxygen)  
🗑
What does fast twitch have?   high levels of myosin ATPase provides energy for speed of contraction and tension  
🗑
What does fast twitch do?   contracts at a higher speed than type 1 fibers  
🗑
What are some characteristics of slow twitch: type 1?   aerobic work, endurance activities, fatigue resistant, red-vascular (like legs of chicken)  
🗑
What are some characteristics of fast twitch: type 2?   anaerobic work, speed, strength & power, not as much blood flow as type 1, phasic muscles, contract with more force than type 1, high level of myosin - ATPase  
🗑
What is lack of muscle activity called?   Atrophy  
🗑
Slow twitch has small or larger neurons?   smaller  
🗑
What are the muscle contraction types?   concentric & eccentric  
🗑
What is concentric?   approximation of origin & insertion, muscle shortening  
🗑
What is eccentric?   origin & insertion become farther apart, muscle is lengthened  
🗑
What does eccentric do?   more energy efficient, produces greater tension, stimulates both contractile & noncontractile elements  
🗑
What is isometric?   tension produced but no motion, no change in joint angle  
🗑
What is isotonic?   tension produced with joint motion, constant resistance, force, load or tension (bicep curls or bench press)  
🗑
What is isokentic?   tension produced with constant speed regardless of force (machine)  
🗑
What has greater force lowering? Concentric exercises, isometrics, eccentrics   Eccentrics  
🗑
What is strength?   The ability of a muscle to generate force by a single muscle or related muscle group.  
🗑
What is power?   The ability to exert force under a given set of conditions defined by body position  
🗑
How do you measure strength?   manual muscle testing  
🗑
How do you figure Strength?   work = F x D  
🗑
How do you figure Power?   = F x D/Time  
🗑
What is overload principle?   application of a load that exceeds the metabolic capacity of the muscle  
🗑
What is SAID principle?   Specific adaptations to imposed demands  
🗑
What is progression principle?   intensity of the program must become progressively greater to continue making gains  
🗑
What is reversibility principle?   changes are transient unless training induced improvements are regularly used  
🗑
What is a muscle response to exercise?   frequency, duration, intensity  
🗑
When a muscle response to exercise is does what?   exceed normal function, be specific, revert to pre-training state  
🗑
Hypertrophy after exercise is what?   increase in individual muscle fiber size due to increase in synthesis of Actin & Myosin, biomechanical adaptations - increased activity & qty of enzymes for energy production  
🗑
Type 1 Muscle response is for what type of runner?   long distance runner  
🗑
Type 2 Muscle response is for what type of runner?   sprinter  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
