2- Alternate Hammer Curl - as I curl the weight toward my shoulders, is the concentric motion. as I lower the weight back down, is the eccentric,motion. As the weight is held at the top of the hammer curl, is the isometric contraction.

as I lower the dumbbell back down, is the eccentric motion. As the dumbbell is held at the top of the lift, is the isometric contraction.

10- Standing Military Press - as I push the bar upwards , is the concentric motion. as I lower the bar back down, is the eccentric motion. As i hold the bar at the top , is the isometric contraction.

the muscle is strongest in the eccentric phase.

There are two constituents that are associated with the muscle - the series elastic constituent and the parallel elastic constituent. The series elastic constituent is the tendon that is binded to the given muscle, which stores energy on its own but procures a considerable portion of its applied energy from the contracting muscle. The parallel elastic constituent is almost everything else except the primarily ligaments and fascia. These structures don't have any contractile attributes but alternatively it applies force based on being stretched further away than their resting length.

this knowledge helps me to safely overload your muscles and produce great gains in muscular size and strength as well as proficiency in weight training

    1. (Gulliver critiquing his suit made by the Luputian tailor) “ He first took my altitude by a quadrant, and then, with a rule and compasses, described the dimensions and outlines of my whole body, all which he entered upon paper; and in six days brought my clothes very ill made, and quite out of shape, by happening to mistake a figure in the calculation. But my comfort was, that I observed such accidents very frequent, and little regarded. “ I think that this quote is important because it shows how even little ways of doing things are different between the two worlds. Gulliver, had he been making the suit, would have used a measuring tape like most would assume to do.…

    Isotonic contractions is a type of contraction which can cause the muscle to change length as it contracts and resulting in a body part being able to move. There are two types of isotonic contraction. Concentric contractions are a type of contraction which causes the muscle to shorten as it contracts. An example of it can be, the bending of the elbow from straight to fully flexed out as this causes a concentric contraction of the biceps. Concentric contractions are the most common type of muscle contraction and occur regularly in everyday life as well as in sporting movement.…

    There are three types of muscles in the human body: cardiac muscle, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle. For the purpose of our lab we will be focusing only on skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the only voluntary muscle tissue found in the human body. They're attached to bones by tendons and are responsible for all the movements that are consciously controlled such as writing, walking, running, etc. [1].…

    Grip Strength Exercise

    • 522 Words
    • 3 Pages

    To fully understand this Grip Strength exercise there most be an understanding of the foundational physiological mechanisms, which are involved. These mechanisms are all incorporated into the muscular system of the body and its foundational unit known as muscle. A muscle can be defined as a bundle of fibrous tissue connected to two or more bones by tendons giving it the ability to contract and therefore inducing movement to a specific part of the body. The muscles within the human body are differentiated into three classes known as skeletal, smooth, and finally cardiac. Smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle (under control of the autonomic nervous system) that is mainly found within the walls and organs that participate in digestion such as the stomach, intestines and esophagus, but can also be found within blood vessels as well (Argosy Publishing, 2016).…

    Earthworm Lab Report

    The experiments showed that the rate of action potentials can be affected by different stimulus and obstacles, like temperature or rate of which the action potential reaches the source though different obstacles. The earthworm experiment showed that action potentials work best under normal temperatures at which the organism can operate under like room temperature. Like in the FM imaging experiment it showed that most the earthworms sensors are on the surface of the earthworm, if the temperature isn’t ideal for the earthworm then the action potentials won’t fire fast enough to get away from prey under those circumstances. The cooling effects placed on the earthworm effects the medial neuron which slows all action potentials coming and going. The other part of this experiment showed that when stimulus strength and durations of the action potentials are changed to higher frequencies the less time the cell has get out the the absolute refractory period, which means no other action potential will fire until it moves to relative refractory period.…

    What Is Ideokinesis?

    • 273 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Ideokinesis, a practice that provides physical benefits in terms of fluidity in movement, posture, and body alignment through the process of imagery and visualization, utilizes multiple techniques in order to train specific body systems such as the skeletal and nervous systems to adapt to newer and healthier neuromuscular methods. A significant mechanism used to teach the benefits of Ideokinesis is the 9 lines of movement. Reflecting on and working towards stabilizing the 9 lines of movement allows for the distribution of strength and equal balance in one’s body parts, done mainly by a prominent sense of imagining certain scenarios along with some physical movement. The 9 lines of movement consists of the first line going from the big toe to…
