Four main types of muscle contractions -
....ANSWER...Isometric, isokinetic, isotonic concentric
and isotonic eccentric
What is the purpose of muscle contraction -
....ANSWER...Allow for the given muscle to perform work
and move within its range of motion
Range of Motion (ROM) - ....ANSWER...the degree of
freedom for which a joint can move through
Isometric contraction - ....ANSWER...the load on the
muscle is greater than the generated tension, results in no
1
,movement taking place
Isokinetic contraction - ....ANSWER...Muscle contracts
and shortens at a constant rate of speed, allows the muscle
to gain strength evenly throughout the entire ROM
This is the quickest method for increasing muscle strength
but requires equipment that increases the load as it senses
the contractions speeding up
Isotonic contractions - ....ANSWER...The load on the
muscles is less than the generate attention and results in
movement taking place
Tension is developed and mechanical work can be done
Isotonic concentric contraction - ....ANSWER...Causes the
muscle to DECREASE/SHORTEN in length and the angle
of the joint to decrease
referred to as the POSITIVE part of a repetition, it brings
the involved bones together
This is usually an active and voluntary action resulting in
movement
Determining the concentric phase in exercises -
....ANSWER...squat - standing up
chest press - lowering the bar
2
,lat pull - pulling the bar down
Isotonic eccentric contraction - ....ANSWER...causes the
muscle to INCREASE/LENGTHEN in length and the
angle of a joint to increase
referred to as the POSITIVE part of a repetition, it brings
the involved bones together.
Active and voluntary action resulting in movement
Determining the eccentric phase in exercises -
....ANSWER...Squat - lowering down
chest press - pushing the bar up
lat pull - letting the bar go back up
Four planes of motion - ....ANSWER...Sagittal, frontal,
transverse, parasagittal
Sagittal plane / exercises that take place here -
....ANSWER...Divides the left from the right sides
motions include flexion and extension such as squats,
lunges, walking, running, arm curls
What type of joint is the elbow considered? -
....ANSWER...Pivot joint
3
, The type of joint that is found in both the elbow and knee
is referred to as a - ....ANSWER...Hinge joint
A one leg squat should focus mainly on activating and
strengthening the: - ....ANSWER...Gluteus Maximus
This muscle fiber type contracts quickly (in short
durations) and is associated with performance in an
activity like basketball. - ....ANSWER...Red fast twitch
The sternoclavicular (SC) joint is a synovial joint that
occurs between the: - ....ANSWER...Clavicle and the
Sternum
All exercise programs should be based on
. - ....ANSWER...Client goals
The initial aerobic conditioning phase includes low level
activity for 10-15 minutes at 60-70% of MaxHR for
approximately how long? - ....ANSWER...4-6 weeks
The majority of energy used during aerobic exercise comes
from: - ....ANSWER...Fatty acids
Where are the Oblique muscles located? -
....ANSWER...Sides of abdomen
