Muscular contraction is defined as a contraction which moves against a constant resistance?
isometric contraction
The ability to exert maximum force against resistance?
Muscular strength
Ability of a muscle to exert force against resistance is called what?
Strength.
Which type of strength training uses machines to increase muscle strength and endurance?
Types of Strength Training Exercises Static (isometric) exercise = muscle contraction without a change in the length of the muscle Dynamic (isotonic) exercise = muscle contraction with a change in the length of the muscle Concentric contraction = muscle applies force as it shortens Eccentric contraction = muscle applies force as it lengthens Types of Dynamic Exercise Constant resistance = constant load throughout a joint's range of motion Variable resistance = changing load to provide maximal resistance throughout a joint's range of motion Eccentric loading = placing load on a muscle as it lengthens Plyometrics = sudden eccentric loading and stretching followed by a concentric contraction Speed loading = moving a load as rapidly as possible Isokinetic exercise = exerting force at a constant speed against an equal force
What is isokenetic?
pertaining to a concentric or eccentric contraction that occurs at a set speed against a force of maximal resistance produced at all points in the range of motion.
What does muscular strength means?
The definition of muscular strength is the maximum amount of force that a muscle can exert against a form of resistance at one time. It is using muscles to exert force and refers to the amount of force those muscles produce.
What is the definition of human wants?
Muscular endurance defined as the ability of a muscle or group muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.
A muscular contraction that causes a muscle to shorten as it develops tension is called?
A cramp is a sudden over-shortening of a muscle. Cramps are involuntary and, often, severe. They can be extremely painful.
What is it called when a Muscle contracts against a constant movable object?
an isometric contraction iso=same metric=length therefore the muscle maintains the same length as it contracts
Pushing against a locked door is an example of what type of a muscle contraction?
Isometric Contraction :]
What is system resistance?
The resistance the heart has to pump against
When you do resistance exercise you work against what resistance?
Weight
