Select one of the following:

  • True
  • False

Explanation

Question 4 of 6

1

Choose the statement that is false.

Select one of the following:

  • Longer muscle fibres means a smaller ROM.

  • Muscle fibres can shorten up to 50% in length when contracting.

  • Pennate/oblique muscle fibres have a larger physiological cross sectional area but not a longer anatomical cross sectional area.

Explanation

Explanation

Question 6 of 6

1

Fitting more fibres into the same space e.g. a pennate arrangement reduces the shortening ability of muscle but increases forces exerted by muscle.
