Neuromuscular Control and Motor Learning in Biomechanics

Neuromuscular control is the control of human movement by a complex interaction between the ______ and muscle systems

High ______ during movement is at the beginning of learning new tasks and results in increases in errors executing movements

As movements are practiced, the ______ decreases and the movement becomes more accurate and 'patterned'

Some ______ in movement is a good thing, as it can help reduce the risk of injury due to repetitive loading patterns

Motor learning is the adaptation of ______ of movement that occurs with task rehearsal

Initial performance gains in strength training are initially due to ______ adaptations before hypertrophy occurs.

Neuromuscular adaptations is a development of a pattern of repeated movements resulting in more ______ movement

Those with ______ have exhibited altered neuromuscular control in comparison to healthy individuals.

Muscle acts in a ______ force and creates motion cause it crosses one or two joints.

The functional effect produced by a ______ muscle force is called a torque.

Skeletal muscle does: production of ______ movement, maintain posture and enhance joint stability.

EMG can look at the relationship between different muscles as a ______ diagram.

Groups of muscles are within ______ that are then surrounded by fascia.

The exact mechanical interaction depends on the ______ that is being applied or generated.

Hill's Muscle Model consists of Contractile component, Parallel elastic component, and Series elastic component, which includes the ______.

Muscle force varies in proportion to the amount of overlap between ______ and myosin filaments.

Muscle morphology is one of the factors influencing ______ generation.

The ______ tension relationship represents the static capability of a muscle and indicates the force that muscle can exert at different lengths.

Translating to an angle ______ relationship is confounded by three factors:

By applying a quick ______ to muscle while it's contracting an additional force can be generated.

Negative work: while being ______, the muscle is lengthening and therefore, negative work is being performed and energy is being absorbed.

Aging increases ______ stiffness and increases risk of injury.

The ability to produce max ______ in a muscle is affected by the velocity of the contraction.

The greatest ______ are achieved when being actively stretched under load.

Resistive force increases with increasing ______ velocity, thus, in concentric contraction, the viscous damping decreases the net force output by muscle.

Cross bridge recycling occurs with greater frequency with increasing ______ of concentric or eccentric contraction.

Power is the rate that ______ can be performed, important in high performance sport.

Force decreases with increasing ______ and vice versa.

One can't determine the function or contribution of a muscle to a joint movement by looking at the ______ points.

Most muscles only cross ______ joint.

Power = ______ x velocity

In the case of eccentric contraction, greater ______ is required to stretch and break the cross bridge bonds with increasing lengthening velocity

The ability to produce max ______ in a muscle is affected by the velocity of the contraction

The functional effect produced by a ______ muscle force is called a torque

In concentric contraction, the viscous damping decreases the net ______ output by muscle

There is an optimum ______ velocity that maximises power output

Aging increases muscular ______ and increases risk of injury.

The ability to produce max force in a muscle is affected by the ______ of the contraction.

Groups of muscles are controlled by a single muscle to move most body ______.

The functional effect produced by a muscle force is called a ______.

The shape of the angle ______ relationship varies amongst muscles.

The faster the movement is, the harder it is to produce max ______.

Muscles may produce very ______ and fine or very large and powerful movement.

Force generation: tendons and muscles work together to absorb or generate ______.

The exact mechanical interaction depends on the force that is being applied or generated, the speed of the muscle action and the ______ in the tendon.

Muscle force varies in proportion to the amount of overlap between actin and myosin ______.

The functional effect produced by a muscle force is called a ______.

The ability to produce max force in a muscle is affected by the ______ of the contraction.
