Question
Chapter 8, Problem 3AP
Summary Introduction
To describe: The sequencing of contractions of the major groups of lower extremity during the gait cycle, indicating when contractions are concentric and eccentric.
Concept introduction: The alternate movement of the limbs in biphasic forward propulsion of center of gravity in bipedal fashion for locomotion is called as human gait. Human gait aids the human to move in for locomotion or for specialized training or for sports. Before civilization began, gait helped the human beings to hunt and gather food.

- 2. We discussed how muscle spindles allow for precision of movement as a muscle lengthens, and particular muscles which require more precise movements will contain more spindles. In addition to this precision control over muscle length, there are other differences between muscles which enable more precision in how much force is generated. Consider the two graphs below which depict force generated by two different muscles as additional motor units are recruited. Force Muscle A Load Force Muscle B Load a) Describe why the first steps for a low force contraction in both muscles are smaller than the later ones in the context of motor units and force production.arrow_forwardGIVE 3 EXERCISE THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A NON - LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENT WITH FLEXION AND EXTENSION MOVEMENTarrow_forwardHelp me solve this problemarrow_forward

The longer the time tension is exerted, the greater the muscular endurance. * 2. The greatest amount of torque is produced by maximum tension in a muscle that is oriented at a 90° angle to the bone, and anatomically attached as far from the joint center as possible. * 3.The greater the torque a muscle can produce, the greater the movement it will produce on the body’s levers. * 4. When the fibers of a pennate muscle shorten, they rotate about their tendon attachment or attachments, progressively decreasing the angle of pennation. * 5.The fast-twitch fibers have smaller diameter than the slow-twitch fibers. * 6.At maximum velocity, no cross-bridges can form, so no force is generated, resulting in the production of zero power. * 7.The smaller number of cross-bridges results in a larger amount of force. *…arrow_forward
