Exam 5: Biomechanics of Resistance Training

The point at which the strength curve and resistance curve converge is called the _____________.

Variable resistance devices were developed to overcome the problem of the ___________ limiting the weight that could be lifted.

The position of the gravity line relative to the edge of the base will determine how _______ the object is in that direction.

Muscle can generate more tension during _________ contraction than during __________ contraction.

Explain the arrangement of forces in a third-class lever?

Stability is the process by which a body's state of equilibrium is controlled for a given purpose.

What type of muscle action lengthens while the muscle is developing tension?

Which class of lever is the biceps muscle flexing the elbow joint against resistance applied to the hand?

In biomechanics, what does the nomenclature SSC stand for?

Momentum can best be defined as:

The force that a muscle can exert increases with increasing speed of shortening.

How much work is done in raising a 200-kg barbell mass a distance of 0.5 m?

____________ is that state of a system which is not changing speed or direction.

What does the symbol "g" represent?

The force produced because of the enormous size of the planet Earth attracting all objects around it is called ____________.

Training machines that use the resistance produced when fluid is forced through a small aperture are called ____________ machines.

The "line of resistance" in weight training is always directly downward and cannot be altered.

What is the motive force required to hold a 200-N dumbbell in the hand with the forearm horizontal if the mechanical advantage is 0.1?

What is the formula for the calculation of torque?

According to the power-velocity relationship, the greatest mechanical power output is produced when the muscle is shortening at a velocity that is what percent of maximum.
