1
New cards

Explain the order of events of starlings law

Venous return increases

Greater diastolic filling of the ventricle

Ventricle experiences great strength

Ventricle contracts with great strength

Stroke volume is higher

Ejection fraction is higher

2
New cards

Define vital capacity

Max volume of air you can exhale after max inhale

3
New cards

Name the hormone responsible for increasing hr

Adrenaline

4
New cards

Why does type 1 and 2x muscle fibres help an 100m sprinter

100m is anaerobic and very intense

2x is most helpful as its more anaerobic and fatigue easy

5
New cards

Whats wave summation

Repeated nerve impulse with no time to relax

Produces a forceful sustained contraction called tetanic contraction

6
New cards

Whats spatial summation

Recruitment of more and bigger motor units to develop more force

7
New cards

What’s PNF

An advanced stretching technique to improve flexibility

8
New cards

PNF in practice

Hold the limb until the muscle is stretched and tension is felt, for 30 seconds

Then isometrically contract the stretched muscle by pushing the leg forward against their partner for 10 seconds, partner resists all movement

The limb is pushed past its normal range of movement for 30 seconds. Then 30 seconds recovery before repeating

9
New cards

What are muscle spindles

Sensitive propriorecpetors in muscles

They provide info the CNS about how fast and how far a muscle is being stretched

10
New cards

Whats GTOs

Between muscles and tendon

They detect tension levels

11
New cards

3 characteristics of type 2a fibres

Fast contraction speed

Moderate fatigability

High force produced

12
New cards

Characteristics of 2x fibres

Very high anaerobic capacity

Very fast contraction speed

High force produced

13
New cards

Define IRV

Volume of air that can be forcibly inspired after a normal breath

14
New cards

2 receptors involved in PNF

Muscle spindles

GTOs
