Document Summary

Power lifting involves strength because the contractions are slow and controlled. Olympic weight lifting involves power because it includes short bursts from the muscle groups. Skeletal muscles react voluntarily from a message sent by a nerve. All skeletal muscles have at least two attachments. Many muscles attach close to a joint that it creates a 3rd class lever (joint = fulcrum, muscle = resistance, load) - origin: the proximal attachment usually found on the more stable bone. Insertion: the distal attachment usually found on the more moveable bone. Location of the attachment to the bone. Angle of the attachment to the bone. Number of articulations crossed by the muscle between attachments. Muscle classifications: functional muscle groups: based on the joint movement the muscles are able to cause, fiber arrangement: two basic types of fiber arrangements, fusiform: run longitudinally and parallel with the muscles long axis. The greater the number of pennate fibers, the greater the force produced.
