1Name Lab Section Performing a Muscular AnalysisPurpose: To provide practice in the identification of the concentric and eccentric phases of muscular activity by visual observation of a series of exercises.Dress: No specific dress requiredEquipment: Textbook, Lecture Presentation – Muscular AnalysisReadings: Chapter 14 Objectives: At the completion of this laboratory, you should be able to:1. Define the following terms:concentric action motive forceeccentric action resistive forceisometric/static action functional muscle group2. Identify the joint action, the muscle action, and the corresponding functional muscle groups acting (eccentrically or concentrically) at various joints during a given movement.3. Identify the functional muscle groups that act as stabilizers during a given movement.Background Information:Muscles develop force and torque in the body under 3 conditions. The first condition occurs when the muscle is shortening while producing force. This is defined as a concentric action of the muscle. Concentric action occurs when the muscle force/torque is large enough to overcome other forces/torques and causes movement of body segements. The second condition occurs when the muscle is lengthening while producing force. This is defined as an eccentric action of the muscle. Eccentric action occurs when the muscle force/torque is not large enough to overcome other forces/torquesand instead, controls the movement of the body segment against these forces/torques or decelerates the body segment. The third condition occurs when the muscle develops force while its overall muscle length remains the same. This is defined as an isometric action of the muscle. Isometric action occurs to stabilize body segments against unwanted movements caused by other forces/torques. The purpose of this lab is to give you practice in determining which muscle groups are producing force in a movement and how they are acting (concentrically, eccentrically, or isometrically) while producing that force.Procedures to be completed prior to the lab session:21. Read the textbook readings listed above.2. Review your lecture notes and the lecture presentation about muscle actions in the Powerpoint slide presentation entitled The Muscular System – System Level. Procedures to be completed during the lab session:1. Perform the following exercises and complete the charts for the initial (movement from position 1 to 2) and return phase ( movement from position 2 to 1) in each of the exercises. Assume that all movements are performed slowly and under the control of muscular effort. Definitions are provided below to assist you.a. articulation – identify the joint at which motion is occurringb. joint action – identify the primary joint action occurring at the joint identified in ‘a’c. motive force – force that causes the joint action identified in ‘b’ (gravity or muscle)d. resistive force – force that opposes the joint action identified in ‘b’ (gravity or muscle)e. functional muscle group – identify the muscle group that is developing resistive or motive forcef. muscle action – action of the FMG identified (concentric, eccentric, or isometric)g. body parts needing stabilization during the entire exercise – any body segment (trunk, lower legs, etc., that must be fixed or held in place while performing the exercise2. Answer the questions at the end of the lab.3 Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Leg CurlLat Pull Down: Shoulder JtArm ExtensionLeg ExtensionBack Extension2Triceps Extension4Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Front Arm Raise5Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Initial Phase Return PhaseArticulation Joint Movement Motive Force Resistive Force Functional Muscle Group Muscle Action Body Parts Needing Stabilization Bench press (Analyze 2 joints)Leg PressAnalyze 2 joints6Questions to be answered:1. Write a sentence describing the relationship between the motive force and the type of muscular action used to perform the exercises included in this lab. When muscle produces the motive force, what role does the muscle play in the movement that is taking place?2. Write a sentence describing the relationship between the resistive force and the type of muscular action used to perform the exercises included in this lab. When muscle produces the resistive force, what role does the muscle play in the movement that is taking place?3. To what functional muscle group does a musclebelong if it resists knee flexion?If it resists hip abduction?If it can help produce trunk flexion?4. Relationships between the motive and resistiveforces and the types of muscular contraction werenoted above. Now write a sentence describing therelationship between the functional muscle groupand the joint action during concentric muscleaction. Do the same for eccentric muscle action.5.
