Types of muscle functions (agonist/antagonist/fixator)
Back
Card 10
Front
Antagonist - this muscle relaxes when the agonist contracts

Types of Muscle contractions (isometric/eccentric/concentric)
Back
Card 12
Front
eccentric - activation that increases tension on a muscle as it lengthens, this contraction occurs when a muscle opposes a stronger force, which causes the muscle to lengthen as it contracts
Back
Card 13
Front
slow oxidative - contain large amounts of myoglobin, many mitochondria and many blood capillaries, and also they are red and split ATP at a slow rate, and are resistant to fatigue

impacts of physical activity on the Muscular System
Back
Card 15
Front
Long Term: increased muscle size, increase thickness of muscle fibres (hypertrophy) increase number of muscles fibres (hyperplasia)
