Muscle Strength Training Flashcards
(83 cards)
maximum force that a muscle can develop during a single contraction
strength
3 components of muscle performance
strength
power
endurance
muscles ability to resist or pull a force
strength
maximal torque produced when angle of pull is ?
90 degrees
when does a patient have the stronger MA
when they are in full contraction of the muscles
physiological advantage is
the muscles ability to shorten
greatest physiological advantage is made when
a muscle is at its resting length
the slower you are, the stronger you are
concentric contractions
the faster u go, the stronger you are
eccentric contractions
force production directly related to velocity of shortening
eccentric contractions
force production is greater 120-160% in what kind of contractions
eccentric
during concentric contractions….
slowing speed of contraction allows more time to develop more tension
durign eccentric contractions…..
increased speed of lengthening produces more
tension
work/unit time
Fd/t
power
the ability to sustain forces repeatedly or to generate forces over a certain period of time
endurance
2 muscle fiber types
type 1 or slow twitch
type 2 or fast twitch
