What are ligaments? | tough, flexible, fibrous tissues that connect bone to bone |
Whare are tendons? | tough, inelastic, fibrous tissues that connect bone to muscle |
What is antagonistic pairs? | 2 muscles that work together to perform a task by one muscle contracting while that other relaxes or lengthens. Eg: biceps and triceps |
What are voluntary muscles? | Muscles that are under conscious control and can be controlled at will or we can choose when to use them. |

What are slow twitch fibers? | Contract slowly but use oxygen well and keeps going for a long time. Endurance athlete tend to have more 'slow twitch' fibers, work aerobically. |
What are fast twitch fibers? | Contract quickly but do not use oxygen well and time quickly. Top sprinters have more 'fast twitch' fibers |
What are very fast twitch fibers? | work anaerobically, high speed and force of contractions, very low aerobic capacity, low fatigue resistance. Eg: 100m runners |
