Test 3 Flashcards
swimming and drag
below water have smaller wake because at closer to surface create actual wake on top of water
in swimming wanted position
horizontal to decrease surface area
motor neuron axon
axon terminal branching size of axon terminal increases which increases number of action potentials and allows for greater force output
electrical signal to
chemical trasmission in gap than electrical again in muscle fiber
amplitude on EMG
force output… size motor unit each has own wave
frequency in EMG
type of motor unit, firing rate action potentials per second
temporal analysis of EMG
look at when certain muscle is active during activity
larger motor unit
more amplitude
each wave
for one motor unit (each has distinct pattern)
as velocity increases
force decreases because less crossbriding, myosin heads have trouble connecting sarcomeres are shortening so fast
as muscle shortening
faster and faster cross briding wont be able to occur so force decreases
concentric
requires ATP detachment of myosin
eccentric
generate more force, lengthening myosin attaches, pulls away, attaches use more force b/c dont use ATP as much
shoulder injuries
dislocated, supraspinatus tear/sprain and rotator cuff tears, torn glenoid labrum, cartilage degneration, bone spurs, acromioclivular seperation, shoulder impingement
elbow injuries
radial head disloaction, tendonitis (tennis elbow), ulnar neurtitis (shooting/tingling pain)
knee injuries
ACL injury/tear, PCL, LCL, MCL, menisci, platella fracture/lateral
ankle injuries
fracture, acleis tendon, sprain
