10 Questions
Match the type of muscle contraction with its definition:
Isometric = Constant velocity movement around a joint Isotonic = Tension remains the same whilst the muscles length changes Concentric = Muscle contraction occurs when a force applied to the muscle exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle itself Eccentric = There is no change in the length of the muscle
Match the type of muscle contraction with its example:
Concentric = Wall - sits Isometric = Rise of a sit up Eccentric = A bi-cep curl Isotonic = Lowering of a bi-cep curl
Match the type of muscle contraction with its characteristic:
Isometric = Tension remains the same whilst the muscles length changes Isotonic = There is no change in the length of the muscle Concentric = Causes tension on a muscle as it shortens Eccentric = Constant velocity movement around a joint
Match the type of muscle contraction with its effect on muscle length:
Concentric = No change in muscle length Isometric = Forced lengthening of the muscle-tendon system Isotonic = Muscle length increases Eccentric = Muscle length decreases
Match the type of muscle contraction with its force production:
Concentric = More force than the momentary force produced by the muscle itself Isometric = Enough force to move an object Isotonic = Force exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle itself Eccentric = No force production
Match the type of muscle contraction with its muscle length change:
Concentric = Shortens Eccentric = Lengthens Isotonic = Changes Isometric = No change
Match the type of muscle contraction with its joint movement:
Isokinetic = Constant velocity Concentric = Shortening movement Eccentric = Lengthening movement Isometric = No movement
Match the type of muscle contraction with its force generation:
Concentric = Enough to move an object Eccentric = Less than the external force Isotonic = Same as the external force Isometric = No force generation
Match the type of muscle contraction with its exercise example:
Concentric = Rise of a sit up Eccentric = Lowering of a bi-cep curl Isotonic = Wall sits Isometric = Planks
Match the type of muscle contraction with its tension characteristic:
Isotonic = Tension remains the same Isometric = No change in length Concentric = Tension increases Eccentric = Tension decreases
