100
This occurs when muscle fibres shorten during a movement.
What is concentric contraction?
100
Muscle growth in response to overload training.
What is hypertrophy?
100
The antagonist to the biceps.
What is the triceps?
100
C
What is the Sarcolemma?
100
A
What is the sarcolemma?
200
This occurs when the muscle fibers lengthen during a movement.
What is eccentric contraction?
200
A sudden rush of blood to the muscles, making them appear bigger. (The Pump)
What is transient hypertrophy?
200
The agonist to knee extension.
What is the quadriceps?
200
E
What are Myofibrils?
200
B
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
300
This occurs when the muscle fiber stays the same length under a load.
What is isometric contraction?
300
Muscle growth that last for days, months, or years, depending on the level of intensity and frequency of your workouts.
What is chronic hypertrophy?
300
An exercise involving more than one muscle group.
What is a compound exercise?
300
A
What is the transverse tubule(T-Tubule)?
300
D
What is the Sarcomere?
400
This type of exercise involves a controlled shortening and lengthening of the muscle.
What is isotonic exercise?
400
DAILY DOUBLE The theory of fibre splitting. Once a fibre reaches maximal hypertrophy, any further gains will come only through the formation of two "daughter cells" created by fiber splitting.
What is Hyperplasia?
400
Name two compound exercises that can be considered isometric.
Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, Overhead Press, Rows, Pullups...
400
B
What is the outer vassicle of sarcoplasmic reticulum (terminal cisternae) ?
400
C
What is a myofibril?
500
This exercise involves the muscles staying at the same length and maintaining a constant length.
What is isometric exercise?
500
The opposite process of hypertrophy, when a muscle is not exercised and shrinks.
What is atrophy?
500
Name two exercises that can be considered isometric.
Dead arm hangs, dumbbell holds(farmers walk), bent arm hangs...
500
D
What are the longitudinal tubules of sarcoplasmic reticulum?
500
E. Both of them.
What is are the thin filament(Actin) and thick filament(Myosin)?
