Muscle fatigue is the main factor that inhibits muscle contraction. Muscles need oxygen and energy to contract and muscle fatigue is the lack of oxygen in a muscle. The build up of lactic acid is a factor of muscle fatigue.

What factors inhibit muscle contraction?

One of the main things that will inhibit muscle contraction is the build up of lactic acid during aerobic exercise. Lactic acid will inhibit the bodys ability to break ATP down into ADP and therefore restrict the amount of useable energy available to the muscle.


What factors affect muscle contraction?

the degree of muscle stretch is affect the strength or force of skeletal muscle contraction


What factors influence velocity and duration of muscle contraction?

Load placed on the muscle


Name four factors that influence contractile force and two that influence velocity and duration of contraction?

The four factors that influence contractile force are the number of muscle fibers stimulated, the relative size of the fibers, the frequency of stimulation and the degree of muscle stretch. Factors that influence the velocity and duration of contraction are the muscle fiber type, load and recruitment.

What are the major factors that promote the flow of venous blood?

What is muscle contraction without muscle shortening is what kind of contraction?

Isometric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when the muscle generates tension without changing its length, such as when holding a weight in a fixed position.


What is the state of readiness of muscles to contract?

Muscle contractility readiness refers to the ability of muscles to generate force. It involves factors like the presence of neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction, the availability of calcium ions for muscle contraction, and the responsiveness of muscle fibers to stimuli. Stretching, warm-up exercises, and proper nutrition can enhance muscle readiness for contraction.

What is the difference between isotonic and isometric contractions?

An Isotonic muscle contraction is a muscle contraction that makes your limbs move whereas an Isometric contraction is a muscle contraction where the limbs stay static


What four factors determine muscle tension?

Muscle contraction is affected by four factors:1. The number of muscle fibers stimulated 2. The relative size of the fibers 3. Frequency of stimulation 4. The degree of muscle strength
