Document Summary
The science of communications and control in both machines and living things is: The interdisciplinary study of movement is: kinesiology. Kinesiology involves the study of which of the following systems?nervous, skeletal and muscular. The length of a tendon is not an input. The rate of change of the muscle"s length. The system is not compliant because an external force cannot change the hand"s position. The relative proportion of fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers. The ability of the achilles tendon to change length. The moment arm of the achilles tendon. If the moment arm is shorter, then there is less change in the lengths of the muscle-tendon units of calf muscles when the angle of the ankle joint changes. The moment arm is the distance from the achilles tendon to the ankle joint. The moment arm tends to be shorter in sprinters compared to non-sprinters.
