Kinetic Chains
________________ ______________ are the interconnected series of joints and muscles that work together to produce movement in the body.
Kinetic Chains
___________ occurs when ATP demand exceeds the body’s ability to produce it, impairing muscle function and performance.
Fatigue
_________________ are minerals in the body such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium that carry an electric charge. They are critical for nerve function, muscle contraction, hydration, and pH balance.
Electrolytes
This is the largest part of the brain
Cerebrum
T or F: Cold environments cannot cause muscle stiffness, increases blood circulation, and a higher risk of strains or injuries.
The point where the body's mass is evenly distributed. In humans, it’s typically located just above the hips, but it shifts depending on body position.
Center of Mass (COM)
__________ is the immediate source of energy for muscle contraction, and glycogen provides a rapid source of glucose to regenerate this
ATP
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source in this energy system.
ATP-CP System (Anaerobic Alactic)
Connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions like heart rate, breathing, and digestion.
In which gait does a person use their arms for balance and support, especially while crawling on all fours?
Creep
In these exercises, the distal part is fixed or in contact with a surface. Examples include squats, lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups.
Closed Kinetic Chain (CKC)
________ glycogen helps maintain blood glucose levels, providing energy to the body during long periods of physical activity and fasting.
Liver
Long-lasting energy are provided by what?
Fats
The part of the brain is at the back and coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and posture. It helps ensure smooth and controlled motions.
Cerebellum
The _________________ system relies on a combination of carbohydrates and fats, depending on the intensity and duration of exercise.
Aerobic
At which phase of the gait cycle do the toes push off the ground to propel the body forward?
Toe-Off
______________ acts as the body’s primary storage form of glucose, which is essential for fueling muscles and maintaining blood sugar levels during exercise.
Glucose
__________ provide 4 calories per gram but are not the body’s preferred fuel source for energy. This is mainly used for building and repairing tissues, including muscle fibers.
Proteins
Name the Lobe: Involved in decision-making, problem-solving, and motor function.
Frontal
The hippocampus, amygdala, and hypothalamus are apart of what?
Kinetic chain is a system of body segments (bones and joints) that are connected and work together to produce ____________________________.
Motion
What is this process called? The glycogen stored in muscles is broken down into glucose molecules to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency used by muscles to contract.
Glycogenolysis
______________ acts as the body’s primary storage form of glucose, which is essential for fueling muscles and maintaining blood sugar levels during exercise.
Glycogen
Name the Lobe: Processes sensory information like touch and temperature.
Parietal
A condition in which the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones, leading to a slow metabolism.
Hypothyroidism
