distal

muscle lengthens under tension

eccentric

which is stronger, a maximal eccentric contraction or a maximal concentric contraction?

maximal eccentric contraction

the ___ muscle often used for fast or extensive movements

parallel

tendon is stronger than ligament because:

parallel arrangement of collagen fibers

according to the force-length relationship, the maximum isometric force occurs at the optimal length of the ___ region

plateau

the plane that divides the body into right and left sides is the:

sagittal plane

what is the plane of motion for most of the joint actions that occur during sprint running? what is the corresponding axis of motion for these joint actions?

sagittal plane and transverse axis

flexion of the arm at the shoulder is movement in the ____ plane around the ____ axis

sagittal; transverse

flexion of the leg at the hip is movement in the ___ plane around the ____ axis

sagittal; transverse

the basic contractile unit of a muscle is ____

sarcomere

skeletal muscles contract by ___

sliding of actin filaments upon myosin filaments

which is stronger, a fast concentric contraction or a slow concentric contraction?

slower concentric contraction

true

true or false: prior to full skeletal maturity, the long bone is separated from the epiphyseal cartilage

true

isometric

the ratio of the change in length to the original length is a measure of:

linear strain

an isokinetic contraction is a muscle contraction without motion

false

true or false: curvilinear motion is called angular motion

false

true or false: displacement can be greater than distance
