17. (Fast Twitch) Fewer capillaries - mitochondria - myoglobin - 'white fibers.' 2 types: IIX Have low oxidative capacity - fatigue quickly.IIA High Oxidative - fatigue slower - intermediate fast twitch - aerobic/anaerobic






18. Cardiac muscle - smooth muscle - skeletal muscle






19. Middle Back closest to spine - near lats






20. Large part of calve - sits over soleus






21. Training different part of the body on seperate days

24. Average Adult:20-25% of diet Athlete: 20%-35%






25. Amount of energy expended @ rest or 70% of TEE. Resting metabolic rate- subject spends night at home and then drives to laboratory

30. Pressure within after heart contracts






31. Muscle inhibition caused by a tight agonist - which inhibits its functional antagonist






32. Increase heart rate - elevates blood glucose levels - redistributes blood to working tissues - opens airways






33. Neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that cause muscles to contract - muscle then will not contract
