Study Notes
Muscle Tissue Types
- Skeletal muscle controls voluntary movement.
- Cardiac muscle is found in the heart.
- Smooth muscle is found in internal organs.
Energy for Muscle Contraction
- ATP provides energy for muscle contraction.
- ATP breaks down to release energy
Energy Systems
- The phosphagen system provides immediate energy for short-duration activities, like sprinting.
- Glycolysis provides energy for activities lasting less than 2 minutes and produces lactic acid as a byproduct.
- The oxidative system uses oxygen to generate energy for long-duration activities.
Muscle Fiber Types
- Type I fibers are slow-twitch, fatigue-resistant, and used for endurance activities.
Muscle Hypertrophy
- Hypertrophy is the enlargement of muscle fibers due to resistance training.
Muscle Contraction Theory
- The Sliding Filament Theory describes how actin and myosin filaments interact to produce muscle contraction.
Aerobic Respiration
- Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, the "powerhouses" of the cell.
Muscle Fatigue
- Muscle fatigue occurs when the muscle can no longer produce enough ATP to maintain contraction.
Physical Assessments
- Physical assessments are used to reveal weaknesses and measure fitness readiness.
Components of Physical Fitness Assessment
- Components include mobility, speed, and endurance.
Kinetic Chain Checkpoints
- Kinetic chain checkpoints are key alignment points in the body to ensure proper movement and alignment.
Functional Movement Screen (FMS)
- The FMS assesses movement quality and identifies imbalances.
Benefits of Balance Exercises
- Balance exercises prevent falls and improve coordination.
