These are the two main factors that influence muscle function.
What is the types of fibers found in the muscle and the muscles architecture.
100
Name the 6 deep rotators of the hip and one superficial muscle that is also involved in turn out...
What is Piriformis, Gemellus Superior/Inferior, Obturator Internus/Externus, Quadratus Femoris, (also Gluteus Maximus)
100
Even though it has involuntary actions like shivering, this type of muscle is the only type in our bodies that is under voluntary control.
What is skeletal muscle.
100
What is your most superficial abdominal muscle.
What is the Rectus Abdominus.
100
The Patellar Ligament is an extension of what anterior compartment leg muscle and tendon?
What is the Rectus Femoris and the Quadriceps Tendon...
200
This type of muscle fiber has a higher resistance to fatigue and produces less tension for long term endurance.
What is Tonic Muscles Fiber (also called Slow Twitch)
200
This muscle is the main flexor of the hip
What is Ilio Psoas
200
Name two characteristics of skeletal muscle.
What is it attaches to bone and gives rise to movement of the joints, it has multiple nuclei so that information can be transmitted through them very quickly.
200
What is your deepest abdominal muscle?
What is the Transversus Abdominus.
200
These bones comprise the shoulder JOINT.
What is the scapula and the humerus.
300
This type of muscle architecture is more prevalent in the body - probably because these muscles allow for the bodies power (they can produce greater amounts of force at the cost of reduced ROM).
What is PENNIFORM muscle architecture.
300
Name the main extensor muscles of the hip
What are Glut Max, the Hamstrings, Glut Med (posterior portion)
300
Explain: "Bones support weight, muscles move bones." in terms of gravity and posture.
What is the fact that if muscles have to take on a weight bearing function, they overwork and become rigid. TIGHT MUSCLES CAN'T FEEL.
300
These abdominal muscles, when contracted, cause sidebending or spiral movements of the trunk
What are the Internal and External Obliques.
300
These two locations are the origin and insertion of the IlioPsoas.
What is Originates at T12 and inserts at the lessor trochanter of the femur.
400
This type of muscle fiber has a fast contraction time, produces greater force but also tires more easily.
What is FAST TWITCH or Phasic Muscle Fiber
400
These muscles medially rotate the hip
What are Glut Medius, Glut Minimus, TFL
400
Define TONE.
What is a muscles readiness to respond.
400
How does one know they are not using their deepest abdominal/core support?
What is the belly bulges!
400
Name some primary functions of the Ilio Psoas.
What is the IlioPsoas is the primary muscle of integration in the body, it is a key muscle for both vertebral stabilization and articulation, as it allows for spinal mobility and suppleness. It is also powerful flexor of the hip and connects pelvis to the legs.
500
This muscle fiber is more prone to injury... state why that is true.
What is Fast Twitch muscle fiber... these muscles are more sensitive to temperature change and cool down faster than Tonic muscle fiber.
500
The IlioPsoas is actually made up of 3 muscles. Name them.
What is the Psoas Major, Psoas Minor and Iliacus.
500
How do muscles calibrate tone?
What is by negotiating resistance - muscles build tone by meeting variety of amounts of resistance.. resistance is a key source of feedback for our proprioceptors.. no resistance = no feedback!... Muscles learn to adapt by having a variety of experiences and resistances...
500
What is the rip down the center of the body, the separation of the two sides of the rectus abdominus called?
What is Diastasis Recti.
500
Name a common dance knee injury.
What is Patella-Femoral Syndrome (patella glides in femoral groove due to imbalance of muscle support)
What is Infra-patella tendonitis. (tightness of patellar tendon, week quads)
What is ACL sprain. (landing from a jump in hyperextension w/ tibial torsion)
