Chapter 7

2. a motor nerve plus all muscle fibers it stimulates
4. Trying to prevent injuries before they occur, through a preventative management program.
6. fiber in a motor unit that requires a long period of time to generate force
7. restoring function through programmed exercise, to enable return to competition.
13. progressive overwork of muscles
16. the ability of particular muscle groups to respond to targeted training
17. training program using 6-10 exercises to be completed one after another.
18. lifting phase of muscle contraction
19. byproduct of respiration/ VO2 max
22. gradual, slow stretching of the muscle through full range of motion and holding 20-30 seconds.
23. the process of muscle atrophy due to disuse, immobilization, or starvation
25. systemic application of exercise stress sufficient to stimulate muscle fatique

1. moving joints beyond the normal range of motion
3. a conditioning program beginning 6-8 weeks prior to sports participation
5. weekness and wasting away of muscle tissue
8. causes tension in the muscle to increase but does not cause the muscle to shorten.
9. fiber in a motor unit that produces quick and forceful contractions
10. lowering phase of muscle contraction
11. the ability of a joint to move freely through its full range of motion.
12. rhythmical, bouncing action stretching the muscle a little further each time.
14. consumes 20% of your body's oxygen
15. exercise where a machine controls the speed of contraction within the range of motion.
20. increase in size of muscle tissue
21. rate beats per minute.
24. causes the muscle to contract and shorten.
