This is the driving force behind movement.
Muscular System
1 of 13
The contracting and lenthening of muscles
Movement
2 of 13
These help to define body shape and maintain posture
Muscles
3 of 13
These bring about movement and can be consciously controlled and trained to become stronger
Voluntary Muscles
4 of 13
Muscles are attached to the skeleton by these
tendons
5 of 13
Each muscle is made up of these and when they contract or pull against the skeleton and movement takes place
Muscle Fibres
6 of 13
Muscles are arranged like this so that when one contracts, the other one relaxes
Antagonistic Pairs
7 of 13
These are muscle contractions which result in increased tension but the muscles length stays the same
Isometric Contractions
8 of 13
These contractions result in limb movement
Isotonic Contractions
9 of 13
When using progressive overload, the muscle becomes torn. It then rebuilds itself making it slightly stronger and the muscle mass is increased
Hypertrophy
10 of 13
Muscle hypertrophy can lead to an increase in this and can also lead to an increase in power
Muscular Strength
11 of 13
Strength x speed
Power
12 of 13
An increase in this will mean that muscles will be able to withstand more as they are progressively overloaded
Muscular Endurance
