Chapter 6 - Biomechanics of Human Skeletal Muscle

Condition where multi-joint muscle cannot SHORTEN enough to cause full ROM at both joints it crosses.

• active tension

• active insufficiency

• passive tension

• passive insufficiency

Which component of total tension is provided by the tendons?

• active tension

• passive tension

For which type of contraction is there no relationship between force and velocity?

• eccentric

• isometric

• concentric

True or False: Stretch-shortening cycle = CONCENTRIC contraction followed immediately by ECCENTRIC contraction

• True

• False

What is the product of muscular force and the velocity of muscle shortening? (aka rate of force or torque production)

• musular strength

• muscular power

• muscular endurance

• muscular fatigue

Which type of muscle tension is commonly used to slow limb movement?

• eccentric
• concentric

• isometric

True or False: Muscle fatigue is the reduced capacity of muscle fibers to produce force.

• True

• False
