Biomechanics
The term for a fixed point or axis in which a lever rotates
What is a fulcrum
This injury can occur when a muscle is overstretched or overloaded during exercise.
What is a muscle strain?
This macronutrient provides 4 calories per gram and is the body preferred fuel source during moderate to high intensity exercise.
What are CHO (carbs)?
This is the largest muscle in the body and plays an important role in hip extension.
What is the gluteus Maximus?
Abbreviated ATP this immediate energy currency of every muscle contraction.
What adenosine tri phosphate?
Often measured in Newton's. A push or pull that can change an object's motion.
What is force
This injury involves damage to a ligament
What is a sprain?
This hormone released by the pancreas after you eat helps move glucose from the blood to the muscle cells.
What is insulin?
This bone protects the brain and forms the structure of the head.
What is the skull (Cranium)?
Of the 3 macronutrients this one yields the most energy per gram at 9 calories.
What is fat?
In walking and running this is the phase of the gait cycle when the foot is in contact with the ground
The overuse injury that causes pain along tibia
What is medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)
Made of amino acids this macronutrients is essential for muscle repair.
What is protein?
The muscle that is the primary knee extensor.
What is the quadricep?
This energy system primarily breaks down carbohydrates without requiring oxygen to rapidly produce ATP during high-intensity exercise.
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
The plane that extension and flexion occur in the body
This injury develops when repetitive landing without proper recovery causes bone damage (microscopic)
What is a stress injury or fracture?
This measure of variation in time between heart beats is often used to gauge recovery readiness.
What is heart rate variability?
This ligament connects the femur to the tibia and helps repent anterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur.
What is the ACL?
This energy system relies on oxygen to produce ATP and is the primary energy source during prolonged, lower-intensity exercise.
What is the aerobic (oxidative) system?
This is angle is formed by the line of pull of the quadriceps tendon and the patella tendon
What is the Q-angle
Knee injury that occurs with a sudden change of direction that is hallmarked by a "pop?
What is an ACL tear?
This supplement is one of the most heavily researched for improving high intensity performance and lean mass.
What is creatine?
The rotator cuff muscle group is comprised of these muscles.
What is the supraspinatus, infrapsinatus, subscapularis, and the teres minor?
During a maximal 400-meter sprint, this energy system makes a substantial contribution as the demand for rapid ATP production exceeds what oxidative metabolism alone can provide.
What is anaerobic glycolysis?
