Strength & Conditioning
This acute variable is typically manipulated first in beginners before intensity.
What is volume?
Primary energy system used in a 5-second maximal sprint.
What is ATP-PC system?
This structure prevents anterior displacement of the tibia.
What is the ACL?
Pain in the anatomical snuffbox after a FOOSH injury most commonly indicates a fracture of this carpal bone.
What is the scaphoid?
Chest pain due to reduced myocardial oxygen supply is called this.
What is angina pectoris?
This training principle states that the body adapts specifically to the demands imposed on it.
What is SAID principle?
This variable represents the amount of oxygen used per minute.
What is VO₂?
This type of joint is found at the shoulder.
What is a ball-and-socket joint?
This muscle initiates the first 15 degrees of shoulder abduction before the deltoid takes over.
What is the supraspinatus?
This autoimmune disease attacks synovial joints bilaterally.
What is rheumatoid arthritis?
This type of muscle action produces the greatest force output per cross-bridge.
What is eccentric contraction?
This threshold represents the point where lactate begins accumulating rapidly.
What is lactate threshold?
This muscle is the primary dorsiflexor of the ankle.
What is tibialis anterior?
A patient cannot initiate knee flexion and has weakness in hip extension following a posterior thigh injury. This muscle group is primarily involved.
What are the hamstrings?
This inflammatory molecule enhances second-order neuron excitability in chronic pain.
What are cytokines?
This neural adaptation improves force production without hypertrophy early in training.
What is motor unit recruitment?
The Fick equation uses these two variables multiplied together.
What are cardiac output and a-vO₂ difference?
These gaps between adjacent myelin segments along an axon allow saltatory conduction by concentrating voltage-gated sodium channels and enabling the action potential to “jump” from one segment to the next.
What are the Nodes of Ranvier?
This overuse condition involves inflammation of the wrist extensor tendons at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and is commonly known as tennis elbow.
What is lateral epicondylitis?
This condition involves central sensitization and widespread musculoskeletal pain.
What is fibromyalgia?
This equation estimates 1RM using reps and weight lifted.
What is the Brzycki equation?
This enzyme regulates the rate-limiting step of the Krebs Cycle.
What is Isocitrate Dehydrogenase?
This nerve is compressed in carpal tunnel syndrome.
What is the median nerve?
A positive Thompson test indicating loss of plantarflexion suggests rupture of this structure.
What is the Achilles tendon?
This protein biomarker is elevated in myocardial infarction.
What is troponin?
