Feedback

1

During an eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens while producing force.

2

Short bursts use ATP/CP stores before longer energy systems kick in.

3

Gluteal muscles drive hip extension important in locomotion.

4

Hypertrophy increases cross-sectional area and strength.

5

The standing toe touch lightly lengthens hamstrings when done properly.

6

More mitochondria support aerobic metabolism and efficiency.

7

Static holds rely on isometric muscle engagement.

8

Pectoralis major drives horizontal pushing actions.

9

Gradual warm-ups prepare muscles and joints for work.

10

Stretching affects the series of tissues around muscles, not just muscle fibers.
