review questions Flashcards

1
Q

why is the whippet so oversized

A

He has a myostatin deficicency . Myostatin halts satellite cells and thereby controls muscle hypertrophy. myonucleillite cells go unchecked, they continue to multiply, become new myonuclei which results in increased protein synthesis (muscle hypertrophy)

Q

concentric

A

contraction where muscle shortens

20
Q

eccentric

A

contraction type important for sport training

21
Q

isometric

A

constant muscle length
contraction type used to perform the iron cross hold on the gymnastics rings

22
Q

training by overloading your muscle during eccentric contractions is very beneficial for building muscle strength
and mass

what is one side effect that beginners may experience when training with eccentric contractions?

A

DOMS- delayed onset muscle soreness

23
Q

weight training is a form of “isotonic” or “isokinetic” training

A

isotonic

24
Q

type of contraction
lifting phase of a weight training exercise

A

concentric

25
Q

type of contraction
lowering phase of a weight training exercise

A

eccentric

26
Q

type of contraction
stabilizing muscle groups in weight training exercises

A

isometric

27
Q

a football team has a practice on Thursday and a games scheduled for Saturday. at the end of the Thursday practice the coach has the players run up and down a steep hill (40 meters) 10 times (a drill they have never down before). what training error has the coach made? fully explain answer

A

Downhill running is eccentric - if never done this before it causes DOMS 24-48 hours after

28
Q

shift with training FG (fast glycolytic)
mitochondria
capillaries
myoglobin

A

less for all

29
Q

shift with training FOG (fast oxidative glycolytic)
mitochondria
capillaries
myoglobin

A

more for all

30
Q

high load/ low rep training

capillary to fiber ratio and mitochondrial number ________
fibre area_ _________
capillary and mitochondrial density __________

A

stays the same
increases
decreases

31
Q

moderate load/ higher rep

capillary to fiber ratio and mitochondrial #————-
fiber area __________
capillary and mitochondrial density __________

A

increase
increase
stays the same

32
Q

what does increased capillarization result in

A

As capillaries increase in number, the velocity of blood flowing past the muscle decreases

This allows a greater diffusion of oxygen from hemoglobin in blood to the muscle cell

33
Q

the 7 training principles

A

Specificity
Progressive overload
Stress-rest
symmetry
Contraction-control
ceiling principle
variety

34
Q

measurement of strength

__________ is the linear measurement of strength

____________ is the angular measurement of strength

A

force
torque

35
Q

flexibility
please put these three types of joints in order of least to most flexible and give an example of each

hinge
elliptical

A

least = hinge joint (knee)
int. - elliptical joint (wrist)
most= ball and socket (hip)

36
Q

limits to flexibility

A

Jt structure
elasticity and length
nervous system

A

hypertrophy
