Connect bones to one another. Little or no movement. I.e. long bones - radius/ulna |
|
|
What is a cartilaginous joint? |
Bones are separated by cartilage. Little or no movement. Found where body needs protection, stability & strength. I.e. between ribs & sternum Between the vertebrae |
|
|
What are Synovial joints? |
Allow much more movement. Enclosed by capsule with synovial fluid. Hinge, condyloid & ball & socket joints Six types in all. |
|
|
What are the 4 characteristics of muscle fibers? |
Excitability Contractility Extensibility Elasticity |
|
|
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue? |
Skeletal muscle Cardiac muscle Smooth muscle |
|
|
About skeletal muscle... |
Typically connected to skeletal system Attaches 2 bones across a joint Produces force required for human movement. Very controlled - each muscle cell stimulated separately. |
|
|
About Cardiac muscle |
Interconnected - when one cell is stimulated to contract, they all contract in a predictable sequence. |
|
|
About Smooth muscle... |
Found in the hollow organs of the digestive urinary and circulatory systems. Work together or independently. Do not generate much force. |
|
|
3 types of muscle contractions? |
Isotonic - Concentric = Shortens Isotonic - Eccentric = Lengthens Isometric = Static Contraction |
|
|
What does PAR-Q stand for? |
Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone |
|
|
9 CanFitPro Principles |
1. F.I.T.T 2. Individualisation 3. Specificity 4. (Progressive Overload) 5. Recovery (mandatory) 6. Structural Tolerance (strengthening ligaments, tissue & fascia) 7. (All round development) 8. Reversibility (pre training state) 9. Maintenance (easier to maintain once reached) |
|
|
Functions of skeleton |
Supports weight of body/upright Allows movement Protects organs & soft tissue Mineral Deposit - stores & maintains mineral balance in the blood Blood cell formation Energy reservoir (fat in bone marrow & adipose tissue) |
|
|
What is energy? |
The ability to do work. |
|
|
What is metabolism? |
The sum of all chemical reactions in the body that use or create energy. |
|
|
The ATP-CP (phosphagen) system produces how many ATP per molecule of creatine phosphate? |
One molecule. (10-20 seconds) |
|
|
The anaerobic (glycolytic) system produces how many ATP molecules? |
Two to three molecules. (20 secs - 2mins at max intensity) |
|
|
How many ATP molecules are created through the Aerobic (Glycolytic) System? |
Up to 38 ATP (Chain reaction - glycolysis, Krebs cycle & electron transport chain) 2mins + |
|
|
Fatty Acid Oxidation energy system? |
Aerobic metabolism of fat produces 100+ ATP. Harder to metabolise because they require a large amount of oxygen for this reaction. |
|
|
What is mitochondria? |
Cellular structures with specialized enzymes to assist in aerobic metabolism. They use glucose or fat for fuel to create ATP. |
|
|
What is the Lactate Threshold? |
The LT is the point at which the aerobic system cannot supply enough ATP for the needs of the body. Leads to muscle fatigue, discomfort and possibly failure. (85-90% max HR) (Depends on fitness levels.) |
|
|
What is SV? |
Stroke Volume = Amount of blood ejected by the left ventricle per beat. |
|

|
|
Examples of Long Bones |

|
|

|
|
What is a ligament? |
Fibrous connective tissue that connects bones to other bones. |
|
|
What are the three types of muscle tissue? |
1. Skeletal 2. Cardiac 3. Smooth |
|
|
About Skeletal Muscles... |
Attaching two bones across a joint. Voluntary - can be controlled. Produce force along the length of the cell. Usually connected to skeleton. Focus on these with resistance training. |
|
|
About Cardiac Muscle... |
Make up the walls of the heart. Involuntary - cannot be controlled. Strengthened with cardio training. |
|
|
About Smooth muscle... |
Irregularly shaped/random pattern. Makeup the walls of hollow organs (stomach, intestines bladder and blood vessels). Involuntary - cannot be controlled. Do not create much force. |
|
|
Significance of the core... |
Spans from rib cage and diaphragm to pelvis. Muscles that act as stabilisers and mobilisers. Provides arms and legs with a solid anchor to produce force and movement. |
|
|
What muscles are usually tight in people with anterior tilt? |
Erector spinae, iliopsoas and rectus femoris |
|
|
Rotator cuff acronym SITS |
Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis |
|
|
Define flexibility... |
Range of motion (ROM) of joints and myofascia. Relates to the mobility and function of each joint. Assists the body and adapting to physical changes. |
|
|
Benefits of flexibility training... |
Improve posture. Improve blood flow. Improve ability to recover from training. Improve ROM, overall mobility & strength. Improve ability of muscles and connective tissues to lengthen. Decrease the formation of trigger points within muscle tissue. |
|
|
How can flexibility training strengthen weak muscles? |
When a muscle is over activated it can inhibit its antagonist muscle. By stretching the tight muscle it's weak antagonist will be able to contract with more strength and power. |
|
|
More on flexibility... |
Enhances performance in sports, aerobic training & muscular conditioning. Reduced likelihood of injury. Is an active form of relaxation which can improve mental and physical recovery. |
|
|
What are factors relating to muscle strength? |
Muscle size - bigger has more force Muscle length - greatest force at resting bc Myosin/Actin are side by side & cross-bridges are exposed. Speed of contraction - concentric = slower contractions & eccentric = greater force with fast movements. Neural control - More, bigger motor units firing faster = most force. |
