Anatomic locations: medial Correct Answers: relatively closer to the midline of the body
Anatomic locations: lateral Correct Answers: relatively farther away from the midline or toward the
outside of the body
Anatomic locations: Contralateral Correct Answers: positioned on the opposite side of the body
Anatomic locations: Ipsilateral Correct Answers: positioned on the same side of the body
,Anatomic locations: anterior Correct Answers: positioned on or toward the front of the body
Anatomic locations: posterior Correct Answers: positioned on or toward the back of the body
Anatomic locations: proximal Correct Answers: positioned nearest to the center of the body or other
identified reference point
Anatomic locations: distal Correct Answers: positioned farthest from the center of the body or other
identified reference point
Anatomic locations: inferior Correct Answers: positioned below an identified reference point
Anatomical locations: superior Correct Answers: positioned above an identified reference point
What happens during an isotonic muscle action? Correct Answers: force is produced, muscle tension
is developed, and movement occurs through a given range of motion. These are divided between
concentric and eccentric
What happens during an isometric muscle action? Correct Answers: muscle tension is created
without a change in muscle length and no visible movement of the joint.
Ex: Pushups
What is an example of an isometric muscle action? Correct Answers: pushups
What happens during an isokinetic muscle action? Correct Answers: the speed of the movement is
fixed, and resistance varies with force exerted.
Ex: rehabilitation equipment
What is an "agonist"? Correct Answers: The primary muscle providing force for a movement.
Ex: Gluteus maximus for squats or biceps brachii for curls
What are some examples of agonists? Correct Answers: Glutes during squats, pecs during bench
press, biceps during curls
What is an "synergist"? Correct Answers: Muscles that assist agonists to produce a movement
Ex: hamstrings are synergists for the gluteus maximus during squats. The triceps are synergists the
pectoral muscles during a bench press
What is an example of a synergists muscle? Correct Answers: hamstrings for the glutes during
squats, triceps for the pecs during bench press
What are "stabilizer" muscles? Correct Answers: Muscles that contract isometrically to stabilize the
trunk and joints as the body moves.
Ex: deep abdominal muscle, rotator cuff muscles
, What is an "antagonist" muscle? Correct Answers: muscles on the opposite side of a joint that are in
direct opposition of agonist muscles
Ex: triceps during bicep curls
What is an example of an "antagonist" muscle? Correct Answers: biceps brachii during tricep
extensions
What are examples of closed chain exercises? Correct Answers: Pushups, pullups, squats, lunges
What are examples of open chain exercises? Correct Answers: bicep curls, lat pulldowns, bench
presses, leg curls, leg extensions
What are closed chain exercises? Correct Answers: movements where you are either pushing and
pulliing against an immovable object, moving your whole body in the process
What are open chain exercises? Correct Answers: moving weight in open space, not pushing against
anything
What is the length-tension relationship? Correct Answers: The resting length of a muscle and the
tension the muscle can produce at this resting length.
What is the altered length tension relationship? Correct Answers: When a muscle's resting length is
too short or too long, reducing the amount of force it can produce.
What is reciprocal inhibition? Correct Answers: when an agonist receives a signal to contract, its
functional antagonist also receives an inhibitory signal allowing it to lengthen
What is altered reciprocal inhibition? Correct Answers: Occurs when an overactive agonist muscle
decreases the neural drive to its functional antagonist.
Ex: happens when you burnout on an exercise
What is the force couple relationship? Correct Answers: The synergistic action of muscles to produce
movement around a joint
What is the ATP-PC system and what is it used for? Correct Answers: It is an energy system that
provides energy very quickly, for approximately 10-15 seconds, via anaerobic metabolism
What are some examples of exercises that use the ATP-PC system? Correct Answers: Short sprints,
olympic weightlifting, jumping and plyometrics
What is the glycolytic system? Correct Answers: a metabolic process that converts glucose into
pyruvate and ATP, lasts for approximately 30 to 60 seconds
What type of training uses the glycolytic system? Correct Answers: strength training
What is the oxidative system? Correct Answers: a process that uses oxygen to convert food
substrates into ATP, coined oxidative phorylation. This is an aerobic process
