Quiz 5

Question 1

work is

Answer 1

equivalent to an amount of energy in mechanical form

Question 2

power is

Answer 2

the rate of which work is done

Question 3

power is measured in

Answer 3

watts

Question 4

Maximum power output during a single contraction

Answer 4

is increased by muscle temperature.

Question 5

The velocity with which a myocyte shortens is proportional to

Answer 5

the rate of cross bridge cycling

Question 6

Temperature influences maximum muscle power output via its effect on the

Answer 6

maximum rate of cross-bridge cycling

Question 7

Compared with slow twitch myocytes, fast twitch myoctes contract rapidly but relax

Answer 7

quickly because they provide energy for relaxation at a greater rate

Question 8

One way in which several weeks of training can increase muscle power is by

Answer 8

reducing the time it takes to maximise the recruitment of motor units during a contraction

Question 9

Generally long fusiform muscles shorten more quickly than highly pennated muscles because

Answer 9

because they tend to be longer and relative to their length have more sarcomeres arranged in series

Question 10

Warming up your muscles before a maximum isometric contraction will

Answer 10

have no effect on maximum force during contraction
