We started our day in the Muscle Mechanics lab. We saw a real life performance of Force production in regard to muscle length, and Velocity of movement. As you are working on your graphs for this assignment, keep these questions in mind:
-
1.Relationship to strengthening in relation to the Force/Length and Force/Velocity curves:
Utilizing the principals of the Force/Length Relationship and the Force/Velocity Relationship what would be the most effective approach to Strengthening a Muscle? High or low velocity and why? Are there benefits to both? Do you think that the length of the muscle plays a role?
upon completion of your homework, return to this site and respond to these questions by sending us an email. Your email comments will then be posted to this site. You are encouraged to discuss this with fellow classmates, however, please write in your own words. You are welcome to give examples, and even comment on your fellow classmate’s comments :-)
