Document Summary

List and describe the function and anatomical/structural arrangement of key skeletal muscle components. Explain the step-wise process of each event sequence that leads to skeletal muscle contraction, focusing on, neuromuscular transmission, excitation-contraction coupling and cross-bridge cycle. Compare and contrast the di erent skeletal muscle bre types based on physiology (contractile properties), morphology (appearance and structural characteristics, and biochemistry (metabolism) List and describe the di erent methods for classifying skeletal muscle bre types. List and describe the di erent recruitment of bre types during exercise of varying intensity and duration. List and describe the proportional distribution of bre types within skeletal muscle from; sedentary populations; endurance trained athletes; resistance trained athletes. Explore some muscle bre types adaptations to chronic stimuli (e. g. exercise training), and how these may improve performance. Provide a de nition of central and peripheral fatigue. Identify the potential sites involved with central and peripheral fatigue. Describe the neural, contractile and metabolic factors that may be linked to fatigue.
