praxis 5095 study guide Questions and Answers
type 1/red/slow twitch muscle fibers are needed for endurance activities like long-
distance running and cycling, and need more aerobic energy
type 2/white/fast twitch muscle fibers need less oxygen and are used in short-term,
maximum force exertion like sprinting, jumping, and weight lifting
resistance and weight training increases muscle fiber size, and strengthens and thickens
connective tissues, resulting in larger muscles and great muscular strength and endurance
gracilis inner thigh muscle that runs between the public bone and the tibia (shin bone)
gastrocnemius muscle in the lower leg
glutemus minimus third of the four buttocks muscles
glutemus maximus largest muscle ***********
glutemus medius medium muscle ***********
gluteus minimus below the medius muscle ***********
,tensor fasciae latae smallest muscle ***********
specificity muscle exercise the specific body part, muscle, or sport movements and
techniques that one wants to improve
adaption the body adapts to exercise, so that with regular practice, certain activities
become easier
overload the body only responds beyond its normal level if new stimuli or additonal
pressures are introduced. improve athletic ability
indiviudal differences not everybody will attain the same results from the same training
programs and levels
progression must progress at a certain, individual rate to get results
use/disuse use it or lose it
ectomorph a long narrow think shape with minimal fat-long distance running, high jump
endomorph fat, pear-shape, narrow shoulders, wide hips, small ankles and wrists, more
fat on the torso, arms, and legs, shot-putting and wresting
, mesomorph muscular, often wedgeshaped, wide shoulders and narrow hips, strong
limbs, and little body fat- gymnastics and swimming
control precision hockey puck handling
rate control racecar driving
aiming texting
response orientationa nd choice reaction time football quarterbacking
reaction time sprinting
manual dexterity basketball and dribbling
finger dexterity typing
arm-hand steadiness surgery
wrist and finger speed speed stacking
