Resource summary
muscular system
short term effects
1. when exercise demand for oxygen is higher
2. waste products are created
3. blood is pumped to try and get rid
4. demand is too high = lactic acid
5. regular exercise = cope with demands better
long term effects
muscles grow in strenth and size
hypertrophy = muscle mass increase
lower risk of injury
more power
isometeric - contraction is an increase in tension but length does not alter
isotonic - contraction is limb movement
muscle atrophy - stop in strength training = loss of muscle mass
injury
tear, strain or pull
muscle fibres tear from atachement to a tendon
to reduce do warm up
RICE
Rest - stop training
ice - cold to injury = pain relief
compresson - pressure to injury so limits swelling
elevation - raise injury reduces swelling
MUSCLE MOVEMENTS
flexion - decrease angle at joint
bicep flex at elbow
abs - flex at hip
hamstring flex at knee
extension - increase angle of joint
tricep - extend at elbow
quad extend at knee
gluteus extend at hip
gastrocnemius - extend at knee
abduction - take away from centre line
deltoids abduct at shoulder
adduction - add to centre line
pectorals adduct at shoulder
trapezius adduct at shoulder
lattimuss dorsi adduct at shoulder
antagonistic pairs
origin - where muscle is fixed
insertion - where muscle moves
muscle types
cardiac
automatically works
heart
involutary
never rests
involutary
works automatically
not controlled
intestines & blood vessels
volutary
controlled
attach to skeleton & provides shape
fibres
fast twitch
quicker & stronger
short bursts
short term power
slow twitch
replace oxygen supplies when working
less violent
long periods of time
concentric - shortens & flattens
eccentric - lengthens & flattens
