instrumental support

The actual action of a person that helps another person engage in a behavior. These actions can help remove a barrier of a person like doing a task for them to give them time to train.

emotional support

The encouragement and positive reinforcement that is provided by another including being caring, empathetic, and showing concern.

informational support

When someone receives accurate, current, and informative information about a behavior or topic.

companionship support

When someone engages in a behavior with an individual.

precontemplation stage

the individual does not exercise and is not planning to start exercising within the next 6 months

contemplation stage

the individual does not currently exercise but is planning to start within the next 6 months

preparation stage

the client intends to act in the near future, usually within the next month or the individual is planning to begin exercises soon and has taken steps toward it and may even be sporadically exercising

action stage

the client has made specific modifications in their exercise routine or has been exercising for less then or within the past 6 months

maintenance stage

the client has been exercising for more than 6 months and is working to prevent relapse

SMART goal

specific

measurable

attainable

realistic

timely

muscle spindles

sensory receptors sensitive to change in length of the muscle and the rate of change

Golgi tendon organ (GTO)

a specialized sensory receptor located at the point where skeletal muscle fibers insert into the tendon of skeletal muscle; sensitive to changes in muscular tension and rate of tension change.

sliding filament theory

the series of steps in muscle contraction involving how myosin (thick) and actin (thin) filaments slide past one another to produce a muscle contraction, shortening the entire length of the sarcomere

myosin 

the thick myofilament that acts along with actin to produce muscular contractions

actin

the thin, stringlike myofilament that acts along with the myosin to produce muscular contraction 

all-or-nothing principle

motor units cannot vary the amount of force they generate; they either contract maximally or not at all

type I muscle fiber

type with increased oxygen delivery

type II muscle fiber

type with decreased oxygen delivery

type I muscle fiber

type with more capillaries, mitochondria, and myoglobin 

type II muscle fiber

fewer capillaries, mitochondria, and myoglobin 

type I muscle fiber

smaller in size

type II muscle fiber

larger in size

type I muscle fiber

less force produced

type II muscle fiber

more force produced

type I muscle fiber

slow to fatigue

type II muscle fiber

quick to fatigue 

type I muscle fiber

“slow twitch”

type II muscle fiber

“fast twitch”
