    The Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1.Energize the power stroke of the myosin cross bridge. 2.Disconnecting the myosin head from the binding site on actin at the conclusion of a power stroke. 3.Energizing the calcium ion pump 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O)  ______ADP___________ 3. Rebuilding ADP into ATP with

    The arterioles in the skeletal muscles dilate‚ which increases blood flow to the muscles and leads to an overall drop in peripheral resistance. At the same time there is vasoconstriction in the vessels supplying blood to the abdominal organs and kidneys. This makes sense: if an individual was running from an attacking lion‚ digestion wouldn’t be a high priority while the muscles involved in escape would be. Another cardiovascular response to exercise is

    circuit training and types of S&C. Resistance training is a training method that uses a resistance to the force of muscular contraction (concentric i.e. shortening‚ eccentric i.e. stretching and isometric i.e. no change in length). Stretch shortening cycle- when a muscle is stretched before its contracted is produces a more powerful contraction e.g. CMJ Slow-twitch muscle fibres are fatigue resistant but don’t contract very forcefully or rapidy. Uses oxygen. Fast twitch fibres contract rapidly

    within the chemical bonds between the Adenosine and the three phosphate molecules. Water is added in the chemical reaction‚ causing one of the bonds to break‚ which releases one molecule of energy from the phosphate. This molecule is used for the muscle contraction. The ATP then turns into ADP as it’s lost a phosphate molecule. The ADP needs to gain another phosphate to be re-used for another reaction. Creatine-Phosphate is needed for this reaction‚ so the enzyme Creatine-Kinase is used to separate the

    tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation‚ emphasis should be given to both the concentric and eccentric phases of the movement. During the concentric phase‚ the muscle shortens from a lengthened position and during the eccentric phase the muscle lengthens from a shortened position. For example‚ in the execution of the squat‚ the subject begins in a standing position where his/her quadriceps and gluteus maximus are in a shortened position. During the
