Summary Introduction

To list: Five movement skills with rationales for each movement skills for which a high percentage of fast-twitch fibers is an asset and five movement skills with rationales for each movement skills for which a high percentage of slow-twitch fibers is an asset.

Concept introduction: The muscle fibers contain bundles of myofibrils that are arranged in parallel along with the longitudinal axis. They also include myofibrils, muscle membrane, sarcoplasm, sarcotubular system, and mitochondria. There are two types of muscle fibers that are type I and type II.

We move a lot and do not even realize how intricate these movements may be from gross motor to fine motor manipulations. Briefly explain the steps involved in a single muscle contraction beginning at the neuromuscular junction through one complete contraction and relaxation for the sliding filament theory. Don’t forget to include all the major proteins (actin, myosin, troponin and tropomyosin) involved as well as calcium and ATP.
What is an example that illustrates the steps of muscle action assessment?
Before testing a true 1-RM exercise, why should you allow your client to complete 3 trial repetitions first?    Select 2 correct answer(s)     To reduce risk of injury   To ensure form is correct   To fatigue the muscles to a "normal" functional strength   To focus on the eccentric and concentric portions of the movement
