Types of Contractions
Types of stretching
Lower extremity Joint movements
Upper extremity Muscles
100
A type of muscle contraction where the muscle shortens while producing force. This occurs when the muscle contracts against resistance, such as lifting a weight or pushing against an object.
Concentric contrations
100
Involves active movements that gradually increase ROM and prepare the body for exercise or activity
Dynamic
100
What muscle group allows for flexion of the knee?
Hamstrings
100
What muscle is this?
Latissimus Dorsi
200
the lengthening phase of a muscle contraction, where the muscle is contracting while it is being stretched
Eccentric contraction
200
This involves holding a stretch in a stationary position, improving flexibility and aiding recovery
Static
200
What muscle group is the primary extensor of the Hip?
Hamstrings
200
What muscle is this?
Teres Minor
300
A type of exercise that refers to movement at a constant speed regardless of the amount of resistance applied. Muscles contract at a constant speed in isokinetic contraction. This consistency allows muscles to gain strength uniformly all through the range of movement
Isokenetic
300
Involves a partner or resistance to stretch a muscle, followed by a contraction of that muscle, and then a deeper stretch, aiming to increase flexibility and range of motion.
PNF
300
What is the primary muscle group that extendes the Knee?
Quadriceps
300
What Muscle is this?
Supraspinatus
400
The contracting of muscles against a stationary object or force, without changing the length of the muscle or the angle of the joint, promoting strength and endurance.
Isometric
400
Involves using momentum to extend muscles and joints beyond their normal range of motion. It is characterized by quick, bouncing movements that create force and acceleration.
Ballistic
400
Which muscle group assists with internal and external rotation of the hip?
Gluteal muscles
500
This involves muscle contractions where the tension remains constant while the muscle length changes, meaning the muscle either shortens or lengthens during movement.
Isotonic
500
A technique where an external force is used to stretch a muscle without the individual's active contribution. It involves holding a stretched position for a period of time, typically 15-30 seconds.
Passive
500
Which muscle group allows for hip abduction?
gluteal muscles
