A device for exercising the upper leg muscle is shown below along with a schematic representation...
While exercising in a fitness center, a man lies face down on a bench and lifts a weight with one lower leg by contracting the muscles in the back of the upper leg. Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration produced given the mass lifted is 10.5 kg at a distance of 28.0 cm from the knee joint, the moment of inertia of the lower leg is 0.900 kg·m2, the muscle force is 1410 N, and its effective perpendicular lever...
PROBLEM 2 Knee Extension - The angular motion of the lower leg about the knee joint, and the forces and torques produced by the muscles crossing the knee joint during knee flexions and extensions have been investigated by a number of researchers utilizing different experimental techniques. One of these techniques is discussed here. Consider the person illustrated in Fig. 10.12. The test subject is sitting on a table, with the back placed against a back rest and the lower legs...
1. According to the paper, what does lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH) do and what does it allow to happen within the myofiber? (5
points)
2. According to the paper, what is the major disadvantage of
relying on glycolysis during high-intensity exercise? (5
points)
3. Using Figure 1 in the paper, briefly describe the different
sources of ATP production at 50% versus 90% AND explain whether you
believe this depiction of ATP production applies to a Type IIX
myofiber in a human....
