Why can't we shift heavy weights as quick as lighter weights?

Actin - myosin cross bridge connections occur at a set rate. If the velocity of contraction is faster than that rate then less cross bridges form, therefore force is decreased.[Force-velociy relationship] [Good test question] · As the velocity of a concentric muscle action increases, the maximum force able to be produced decreases. · Velocity is speed with direction. Negative velocity means eccentric

How does fatigue effect movement?

Fatigue-effects on Movement · Watch for:[TA1] o Changes in movement control o Cheating movements o Changes in range of movement o Changes in velocity of movement [TA1]People become uncoordinated w their movements

· Why when you are weak does it take longer to move?

It takes longer to move something when you are weak because you need strength to improve power

Strength is velocity dependent

What are myofibrils?

The Myofibrils are Bundles of Sarcomeres Connected in Series

What are energy saving springs?

· Relatively compliant tendon · Achilles tendon stores and returns a significant amount of mechanical energy

What is titin?

o Titin is the primary source of passive tension [Spring/elastic tension] in and between sarcomeres. Titin has an elastic quality. Causes an increase in tension at end of range.

What is the "Popping Sarcomere" hypothesis?

· "Popping Sarcomere" hypothesis (Morgan,1990) o sarcomeres that are slightly longer have less overlap and generate lower forces. o shorter stronger sarcomeres pull the weaker longer sarcomeres apart. · Tends to damage type IIb fibres (fast glycolytic ) - possibly because these are preferentially recruited in eccentric muscle actions.

· ATP - 2-3 seconds MVC CP + ADP→C+ ATP (CP=creatine phosphate) · CP drops depending on the workload · Glycogen and fat mobilised · Glycogen depletion - "hit the wall!" · Reduced cross-bridge cycling (needs ATP)

How is ATP used in muscle contraction?

· ATP is the common currency · Splitting ATP produces energy · This energy is used to detach actin from myosin and cock the head of the myosin ready for action.

What is the agonist?

· Agonist: The agonist muscle group is the prime mover for the particular movement.

What are the four principles of specificity in resistance exercise program design?

· Fatigue is the decline in muscle tension or force capacity with repeated stimulation or during a given time period · Voluntary muscle actions exhibit four main components: o Central nervous system o Peripheral nervous system o Neuromuscular junction o Muscle fiber o Fatigue occurs at multiple sites central and peripheral · As muscle function changes during prolonged exercise, additional motor unit recruitment maintains force output necessary to maintain a constant level of

What is the recovery principle?

What is the neuromuscular junction?

· Represents the interface between the end of a myelinated motor neuron and muscle fiber and transmits the nerve impulse to initiate muscle action. · Action Potential→Synaptic vesicles in the end of the nerve release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) into the synapse. · The post synaptic membrane receives ACh [TA1] and depolarises sending an impulse in all directions across the sarcolemma. [TA1]Acetyl-Choline

What happens at the sarcoplasm?

· Sarcomeres are contractile structures. Sarcomeres lengthen and shorten, developing tension on attached structures. Once the calcium ions hit

What is a motor unit?

· The motor unit consists of the anterior motor neuron and the specific muscle fibers [TA1] iit innervates. o The individual and combined actions of motor units produce specific muscle actions o Each muscle fiber generally receives input from only one motor neuron, yet a motor neuron may innervate many muscle fibres o Each motor unit is made up of the same fibre types [TA1]Fast twitch and slow twitch

What is Henneman's Size Principle?

· The recruitment of motor units within a muscle proceeds from motor units with small axons (slow) and smaller number of fibres to motor units with large axons and larger number of fibres (fast).

What does viscoelastic mean?

· Viscoelastic means the material has elastic properties and viscous properties · Elastic like an elastic band. · Viscous like honey - it slips (damping forces).

What is the all or nothing principle in relation to motor neurons?

· When a motor neuron is stimulated, all of the muscles fibres in that motor unit contract to their fullest extent or not at all. · The threshold stimulus of the sarcolemmas of each fibre must be met for contraction to occur at all. Hence the ALL or NOTHING PRINCIPLE

What is the overload principle?

· When a tissue is subjected to a training stimulus that causes strain, the body will reorganise its capacities so that the next exposure to the same stimulus will produce less strain, given that sufficient recovery has occurred between exposures (after Rushall and Pyke, 1990)

What happens when muscle stimulation ceases?

· When muscle stimulation ceases, intracellular Ca2+ concentration rapidly decreases as Ca2+ moves back into the lateral sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum through active transport that requires ATP hydrolysis · Ca2+ removal restores the inhibitory action of troponin- tropomyosin · In the presence of ATP, actin and myosin remain in the dissociated, relaxed state.

What is muscle action specificity?
