outside of the body

Anatomic locations: Contralateral Correct Answers: positioned on the opposite side of the body

Anatomic locations: Ipsilateral Correct Answers: positioned on the same side of the body

,Anatomic locations: anterior Correct Answers: positioned on or toward the front of the body

What happens during an isotonic muscle action? Correct Answers: force is produced, muscle tension
is developed, and movement occurs through a given range of motion. These are divided between
concentric and eccentric

What happens during an isometric muscle action? Correct Answers: muscle tension is created
without a change in muscle length and no visible movement of the joint.
Ex: Pushups

What is an example of an isometric muscle action? Correct Answers: pushups

What happens during an isokinetic muscle action? Correct Answers: the speed of the movement is
fixed, and resistance varies with force exerted.
Ex: rehabilitation equipment

What is an "agonist"? Correct Answers: The primary muscle providing force for a movement.

Ex: Gluteus maximus for squats or biceps brachii for curls

What are some examples of agonists? Correct Answers: Glutes during squats, pecs during bench
press, biceps during curls

What is an "synergist"? Correct Answers: Muscles that assist agonists to produce a movement

Ex: hamstrings are synergists for the gluteus maximus during squats. The triceps are synergists the
pectoral muscles during a bench press

What is an example of a synergists muscle? Correct Answers: hamstrings for the glutes during
squats, triceps for the pecs during bench press

What are "stabilizer" muscles? Correct Answers: Muscles that contract isometrically to stabilize the
trunk and joints as the body moves.

Ex: deep abdominal muscle, rotator cuff muscles

, What is an "antagonist" muscle? Correct Answers: muscles on the opposite side of a joint that are in
direct opposition of agonist muscles

Ex: triceps during bicep curls

What is an example of an "antagonist" muscle? Correct Answers: biceps brachii during tricep
extensions

anything

What is the length-tension relationship? Correct Answers: The resting length of a muscle and the
tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.

What is the altered length tension relationship? Correct Answers: When a muscle's resting length is
too short or too long, reducing the amount of force it can produce.

What is reciprocal inhibition? Correct Answers: when an agonist receives a signal to contract, its
functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen

What is altered reciprocal inhibition? Correct Answers: Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle
decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist.

Ex: happens when you burnout on an exercise

What is the force couple relationship? Correct Answers: The synergistic action of muscles to produce
movement around a joint

What is the ATP-PC system and what is it used for? Correct Answers: It is an energy system that
provides energy very quickly, for approximately 10-15 seconds, via anaerobic metabolism

What are some examples of exercises that use the ATP-PC system? Correct Answers: Short sprints,
olympic weightlifting, jumping and plyometrics

What is the glycolytic system? Correct Answers: a metabolic process that converts glucose into
pyruvate and ATP, lasts for approximately 30 to 60 seconds

What type of training uses the glycolytic system? Correct Answers: strength training

What is the oxidative system? Correct Answers: a process that uses oxygen to convert food
substrates into ATP, coined oxidative phorylation. This is an aerobic process
