Mixed Martial Arts Strength & Conditioning Coaches: Biomechanics and Anatomy Questions for review

Biomechanics Questions for Mixed Martial Arts Coaches and Strength and Conditioning Coaches like NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS).



Question 6
1 pts
The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments limit which type of knee motion?





Question 8
Which of the following statements is/are true? 









  Hint:
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which restricts the forward sliding of the femur on the tibial 
plateaus during knee flexion, is often injured when an athlete who is running decelerates rapidly or changes directions quickly. It is important to remember that since acceleration is a vector quantity, 
changing directions, even while maintaining a constant speed, represents a change in acceleration. The concept of angular acceleration, with direction constantly changing, is discussed in Chapter 11. The forces associated with change in acceleration based on change in direction must be compensated for by MMA and combat sports fighters.









Question 8
1 pts
Which of the following statements is/are true? 




Question 91 pts
Most human movement falls into which category? 





Question 101 pts
Abduction occurs in frontal plane 








Question 11

The three hamstring muscles are:



Question 38 
Which statement(s) is/are true? 
                  
                  
                  
                  
         





Question 42   

The articular fibrocartilage partial disc in the knee is called ___________.







Question 44 
Where is the series elastic component (SEC) of a muscle found?
      all of the choices are correct






Question 45 

Which of the following is a behavioral property of muscle tissue?
     




Question 48 
To minimize postural adaptations, a back pack load should be as high as possible near the shoulders.


Question 52 
In human skeletal muscle, force generation capability is highest in which of the following conditions?





Question 53 
The __________________ fiber arrangement is a pattern of fibers within a muscle with short

fibers attaching to one or more tendons.





Question 55

Muscles on the anterior side of the arm produce flexion at which of the following?






Question 61 
Which of the following is not true about the menisci in the knee joint?







Question 63
Which knee ligament is most likely to be damaged from a lateral blow?














ANSWER: 
Blows to the lateral side of the knee are much more common than 
blows to the medial side, because the opposite leg commonly protects 
the medial side of the joint. When the foot is planted and a lateral 
blow of suffi cient force is sustained, the result is sprain or rupture of 
the medial collateral ligament (MCL). Modeling studies suggest that 
the muscles crossing the knee are able to resist approximately 17% of 
external medial and lateral loads on the knee, with the remaining 83% 
sustained by the ligaments and other soft tissues. However, direct 
measurements of strain to the knee ligaments indicate that external 
tibial torque is more dangerous than medially directed tibial force 
for the MCL. In contact sports such as football, the MCL is more 
frequently injured, while both medial and lateral collateral ligament 
sprains occur among wrestlers, Jiu-Jitsu fighters, mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters, and other combat sports. See combat sports statistics for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Bellator Fighting Championship, Vale Tudo in Brasil (Brazil), and Pride Fighting Championship in Japan.


Question 63 1 pts

Which of the following causes hip adduction?








ANSWER:

Adduction
The hip adductors are those muscles that cross the joint medially and 
include the adductor longus, adductor brevis, adductor magnus, and gracilis (Figure 8-7). The hip adductors are regularly active during the swing 
phase of the gait cycle to bring the foot beneath the body’s center of gravity for placement during the support phase. The gracilis is a long, relatively weak strap muscle that also contributes to flexion of the leg at the knee. The other three adductor muscles also contribute to flexion and lateral rotation at the hip, particularly when the femur is medially rotated.





Question 72 
Internal rotation is synonymous with which of the following?










Rotation of an 
arm or leg as a unit in the transverse plane is called medial rotation,or 
internal rotation, when rotation is toward the midline of the body, and 
lateral rotation,or external rotation, when the rotation is away from the 
midline of the body
