Week 5 signposts
Define and summarise the role of the following attributes in Strength, including the theoretical
advantages of improving them:
cross-sectional area
the tension developed under the force:length and force:velocity relationships are 2-fold for a muscle with 2x the csa
-
-
Fascicle length (FL)
number of sarcomeres in-series, impact the F:L and F:V relationships - increase contraction speed, and optimal force generation at longer lengths
stifness
increase in stiffness of the tendon improves the efficiency of the MTU during the SSC, such as preserving the operating length
-
Understand the role of the contractile elements (CE), series elastic elements (SEE), and parallel elastic elements in the dynamic function of skeletal muscle as a ‘muscle-tendon unit’
the CE is the muscle fibers cotnracting, the SEE is the tendons that store and use energy like a spring, and the PEE is the connnective tissue that supports your whole musce
Understand the major inputs that can result in muscle Hypertrophy, subsequently increasing Strength
mechanical tension, metabolic stress, neural factors
-
Explain the typical time-course of adaptation of structural vs neural determinants of Strength, including
the rate of detraining
-
Recognise the role of different muscle actions during Exercise in eliciting (e.g. bringing-about) specific adaptions that support muscle function After Injury
Recognise the role of different exercise types/ stimuli in eliciting structural vs neural adaptations in
Exercise and After Injury
