Muscle Strength and Endurance

The following are assessments done by Physical Therapists to measure muscle strength EXCEPT

• Manual Muscle Testing

• Hand Dynamometer Test

• One Repetition Maximum

• Push Up Test

Refers to increased muscle size

• Hypertrophy

• Hyperplasia

• Atrophy

• None of the Above

Changes in muscle size after training becomes detectable after ______ weeks of training

• 4 weeks

• 3 weeks

• 2 weeks

• 1 week

• Isometric exercises effectively improve the strength of a particular muscle or group of muscles when the applied isometric force covers four or five joint angles through the ROM. 

• TRUE

• FALSE

Example of Type I muscle

• biceps brachii

• deltoids

• hamstrings

• soleus

Which muscle can produce greater force or tension?

• Sartorius Muscle

• Quadriceps Femoris

Which type of contraction can produce greater force or tension?

• Fast Concentric

• Slow Eccentric

• Fast Eccentric

• Slow Concentric

Which muscle can produce greater force or tension?

• lumbricals

• biceps brachii

• erector spinae

• quadriceps femoris

The following are neural adaptations to exercise EXCEPT

• Lowered neural inhibitory reflexes

• increased CHO aerobic capacity

• increased motor unit synchronization

• improved firing rates

Muscle Hypertrophy is caused by the following adaptations:

• increased amounts of connective, tendinous, and ligamentous tissues

• increased number and size of myofibrils per muscle fiber

• increased amounts of contractile proteins

• all of the above
