Which type of muscle contraction involves the muscle lengthening while contracting?

• Isokinetic

• Isometric

• Concentric

• Eccentric

What is the gold standard method for measuring dynamic muscular strength?

• Number of reps to failure

• 1 repetition maximum (1RM)

• Maximal voluntary contraction

• Isokinetic dynamometry

• Dynamic endurance

• Static endurance

What is a valid reason to use a multiple RM technique to estimate dynamic muscular strength?

• Older adult

• Previous injury

• Inexperienced lifter

• Low predicted strength

What movement velocity should be chosen to assess muscular power when using an isokinetic dynamometer?

• Slow (30-60 degrees per second)

• Medium (120-180 degrees per second)

• Fast (120 - 300 degrees per second)

Which of the following is NOT a system used for maintaining balance?
