Miscellaneous
What is Rob Mouland's job title?
Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Ottawa Senators
This neurotransmitter is released at the neuromuscular junction.
What is acetylcholine?
This theory explains how muscles contract by the interaction of actin and myosin filaments.
What is the sliding filament theory?
These sensory receptors detect changes in muscle length.
What are Muscles Spindles?
These muscle fibers are characterized by slow contraction speed and high resistance to fatigue.
What are Type I muscle fibers?
Rob Mouland emphasizes this training principle to optimize performance.
Rest and Recovery
The site where motor neurons communicate with muscle fibers, initiating muscle contraction.
What is the neuromuscular junction?
The sliding filament theory explains how muscles contract through the interaction between these two types of filaments.
What are actin and myosin filaments?
These sensory receptors detect changes in muscle tension.
What are Golgi tendon organs?
These muscle fibers are primarily involved in short bursts of high-intensity exercise.
What are Type II muscle fibers?
These muscle fibers have a high capacity for aerobic metabolism.
What are Type I muscle fibers?
This ion is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, initiating muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction.
What is calcium?
This protein forms cross-bridges with actin filaments during muscle contraction.
What is myosin?
These sensory receptors provide information about the body's position and movement in space.
What are proprioceptors?
This energy system is primarily used during long-duration, low-intensity activities.
What is the aerobic system?
This energy system primarily fuels activities lasting several minutes.
What is the glycolytic system?
This is the process by which muscle contraction begins.
What is the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
This regulatory protein binds to calcium ions and moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites on actin filaments.
What is troponin?
This reflex causes a muscle to contract in response to stretching.
What is the stretch reflex?
This energy system is primarily used during short bursts of high-intensity exercise.
What is the phosphagen system?
What is the Anaerobic system?
These muscle fibers are characterized by fast contraction speed and fatigueability.
What are Type II muscle fibers?
This protein binds to calcium ions and moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites on actin filaments.
What is troponin?
This protein blocks the myosin-binding sites on actin filaments in the absence of calcium ions.
What is tropomyosin?
This reflex causes a limb to move away from a painful stimulus.
What is the withdrawal reflex?
This energy system primarily fuels activities lasting several minutes to hours.
What is the aerobic system?
