TRUE OR FALSE  1. 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. *…
