Students have asked these similar questions
Before testing a true 1-RM exercise, why should you allow your client to complete 3 trial repetitions first?
Select 2 correct answer(s)
To reduce risk of injury
To ensure form is correct
To fatigue the muscles to a "normal" functional strength
To focus on the eccentric and concentric portions of the movement
TRUE OR FALSE
1. The longer the time tension is exerted, the greater the muscular endurance. *
2. The greatest amount of torque is produced by maximum tension in a muscle that is oriented at a 90° angle to the bone, and anatomically attached as far from the joint center as possible. *
3.The greater the torque a muscle can produce, the greater the movement it will produce on the body’s levers. *
4. When the fibers of a pennate muscle shorten, they rotate about their tendon attachment or attachments, progressively decreasing the angle of pennation. *
5.The fast-twitch fibers have smaller diameter than the slow-twitch fibers. *
6.At maximum velocity, no cross-bridges can form, so no force is generated, resulting in the production of zero power. *
7.The smaller number of cross-bridges results in a larger amount of force. *…
2. We discussed how muscle spindles allow for precision of movement as a muscle lengthens, and
particular muscles which require more precise movements will contain more spindles.
In addition to this precision control over muscle length, there are other differences between
muscles which enable more precision in how much force is generated. Consider the two graphs
below which depict force generated by two different muscles as additional motor units are
recruited.

Muscle B

a) Describe why the first steps for a low force contraction in both muscles are smaller than the
later ones in the context of motor units and force production.

You are a trainer and are called on to the field where a player is down with a severe cramp of his right hamstring (biceps femoris) muscle. You know that cramps are caused by over-active motor nerve activity to the muscle. Your associates want to stretch the cramping hamstring, but you say, “No! I want the player to concentrate on contracting his right quadriceps muscles before we stretch.” Why might stretching a cramping muscle INCREASE the cramping?arrow_forwardVII. Real life problem.
