What are the 2 types of muscle classification?
Type I
Type II
What is Type I muscle fibers?
> Called as slow twitch muscle fibers
Smaller in diameter
Takes about 110 milliseconds to twitch
More mitochondrial, myoglobin & capillaries than Type II
Suitable for aerobic sport, oxygen dependent & energy metabolism
Fatigue resistant
What is Type II muscle fibers?
> Called as Fast twitch, twitch in 50 milliseconds
Larger in diameter
Produce more myosin ATPase than Type I
Efficient in anaerobic or oxygen-independent sports
Less fatigue resistant than Type I
Rich in enzyme to breakdown glycogen
Further sub-categorize into Type IIa Type X
What are the Characteristics for Muscle Fibers Types?
- Force production
- Fatigue resistance
- Mitochondrial density
- Capillary density
- Contraction speed
- Endurance Capacity
- Glycolytic Capacity
- Oxidative Capacity
For active individuals, how many percentage do they have pure muscle?
80 - 90%
Which Postural muscle contain more Type I fibers?
Soleus muscle (lower calf) & Tibias Anterior (shin) are mostly Type I fibers
For non-postural muscle, which muscle are contain more Type II fibers?
Rectus femoris (thigh) & Tricep Brachia (upper arm) tend to be more Type II muscle fibers
What type of fiber muscle does Endurance athlete would be using more often?
Type I
Which Muscle actions that are contract while lengthening muscular tension less than resistance?
A. Concentric
B. Eccentric
C. Isometric
B. Eccentric
What kind of actions does muscle react when the muscle contacts while shortening muscular tension more than resistance?
A. Concentric
B. Eccentric
C. Isometric
A. Concentric
Which structural filaments thinner, 6nm in diameter and having 900 filaments at sarcomere?
A. Actin
B. Myosin
A. Actin
What is the structure of Myosin filament?
Thick, 16nm and having 450 filaments in the middle of each sarcomeres
What is Thermodynamics?
Energy is neither created nor destroyed ; it transforms from one state to another without being used up
What are the 6 interchangeable energy state?
- Chemical
- Heat
- Electrical
- Mechanical
- Light
- Nuclear
What is Bioenergetics?
The flow of energy within a living system
How does Energy transfer occurs?
Energy transfer occurs hrough chemical reactions utilizing a mixture of nutrients and the use of oxygen
What are the biologic functions for Energy Extraction?
- Muscular activity
- Digestion, absorption, transport, assimilation of food nutrients
- Glandular secretion for hormones
- Maintenance of electrochemical gradients across cell membranes
- Tissue Synthesis (ex: muscle protein synthesis)
What is ATP?
Compound that is directly used to fuel many chemical reactions and many biological functions
What happen when a degradation of one mole of ATP to ADP?
The outermost phosphate bond splits off and liberates 7.3 kcal of free energy
ATP Powers many Biologic functions, what are they?
- Digestion
- Circulation
- Muscle contraction
- Tissue synthesis
- Nerve conduction
- Glandular secretion
