LABORATORY REPORT Activity: Recruitment and Isotonic and Isometric Contractions Predictions When the arm goes from resting to flexing, the amplitude and frequency of sEMG spikes will During flexion, the amplitude and frequency of sEMG spikes will ___ during extension. Recruitment of motor units will be greatest when the load is Materials and Methods Comparison of motor unit activation during muscle tone and concentric and eccentric isotonic contractions Dependent Variable Independent Variable Controlled Variables Recruitment during isometric contractions Dependent Variable Independent Variable Controlled Variables 4. What does the acronym sEMG stand for? 5. During a muscle contraction, what is recorded on a sEMG?
The following graph illustrates the relationship between Maximum weight held at it’s related angle in upright and horizontal positions. It can be seen from the graph that both positions follow the same trend between maximum weight and its angle. As the angle increases, greater weight can be held. However, the value of the weights are greater in body its upright position. Experiment 2: To explore the force-velocity relationship, experiment 2 was conducted in two parts: In part A this relationship was investigated during maximal muscle contractions and in part B it was observed during a multi-joint and multi muscle activity while exercising on a wattbike.
Elasticity; The ability to be able to return to normal shape. While contraction is taking place the muscular system performs 3 functions; Motion, Heat Production and Maintenance of posture. Motion; The ability of being able to move e.g. walking or running. However, with motion you must know about levers.
The first part of the procedure is to investigate a = F/m by holding F constant This investigation involving the Atwood machine will investigate the different aspects of a = F/m. The first part of the procedure holds m constant while studying the relationship of F to a by altering the F of the system. Looking at the equation a = F/m, acceleration and force should be directly proportional to one another. F=ka and a=F/k. The second part of the procedure holds F constant and investigates the relationship of a to m by altering the total mass of the system.
The two vectors which represent the two components that come from a resultant force are angular and stabilizing vectors. If you are dealing with the internal forces created from muscle contractions, the resultant force
