Is Concentric in exercise shortening of muscle or not?
Looking form the out side the two bones to which the Muscle is attached moves closer when the muscle is contracting concentrically while they do not when muscle is contracting eccentrically
What word a noun is used to describe muscle shortening with stimulation?
The noun for muscle shortening is called contraction.
What is the medical term meaning shortening or tightening of a muscle?
Contraction is the medical term meaning the normal shortening or tightening of a muscle.
Does isotonic muscle contractions involve shortening of muscle?
Yes
What phase is between stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle?
The phase between the stimulus of a muscle and the shortening of the muscle is called the latent phase or latent period. During this phase, the muscle is receiving the signal to contract, but actual muscle shortening has not yet occurred. This period is important for the muscle fibers to prepare and generate enough force for contraction.
What muscle action does pulling represent?
It represents contracting or shortening of a muscle.
What is another word for shortening of a muscle?
contraction
What do you call a shortening of muscle fiber?
contraction
What happens to the origin and insertion of a muscle during contraction?
During muscle contraction, the origin (the attachment point of the muscle that remains relatively fixed) and the insertion (the attachment point of the muscle that moves) move closer together. This results in the muscle shortening and causing movement at the joint.
What does contraction mean in medical terms?
contract or "contraction" is when a muscle fiber lengthens or shortens
What is the relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening?
The relationship between the load attached to skeletal muscle and the initial velocity of skeletal muscle shortening is inverse. As the load increases, the initial velocity of muscle shortening decreases. This is due to the increased force required to move a heavier load.
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with what force?
When a muscle contracts, it pulls with a force generated by the muscle fibers contracting and shortening.
