STUDY GUIDE

TEST 1

This is only to serve as a guide.  It doesn't represent all questions or material which may be covered on your test.  Read your book-Chapters 1,2,3 &5.

Here are some sample True or False questions:

1. The increase in the size of a muscle is termed Hypertrophy

2.  Actin & Myosin are the two chemicals which are oxidized for the release of ATP’s.

3.  Generally speaking, our bodies choose to burn protein as a MAIN energy contributor.

4.  Proprioceptors are muscle fibers that give support to the vertebral column, thus causing an increase in your 1 repetition maximum (1RM).

5.  The formula for Work is Force x Distance

6.  An example of a "coupled reaction" is during the immediate energy cycle when ATP (energy) is given off and ADP is converted back into ATP.

7.  The first class lever system is used primarily during a bicep curl.

8.  Specificity of training simply means that resistance training is most effective when resistance exercises are similar to the sport activity in which improvement is sought.

9.  The longer the Moment Arm, the stronger the individual will be.

10.  Type I muscle fibers help drastically with explosive powers.

11.  You can't change ANY of the three muscle fiber types (regardless of training).

12.  An eccentric muscular contraction occurs as the agonist muscle shortens.

13.  A long distance runner should supplement with creatine.

Know your planes & axis

Know about actin & myosin

Know how electrical input is converted into a muscular contraction.

I'll give more guidance in class tomorrow.  

Good Luck!
