This document contains the results of an experiment examining the load-velocity relationship of skeletal muscle contractions. The student scored 100% on pre-lab and post-lab quizzes about isotonic muscle contractions. Experiment results showed that as load increased, latent period and contraction duration increased while shortening velocity and distance decreased. The student's predictions did not fully match the results.

Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 7: Isotonic Contractions and the Load-Velocity Relationship Lab Report

Pre-lab Quiz Results


You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly.

1. During an isotonic concentric contraction, the


You correctly answered: b. force generated by the muscle is greater than the weight of the attached load.

2. During an isotonic concentric contraction


You correctly answered: b. the latent period increases with heavier loads.

3. During the latent period for an isotonic concentric contraction


You correctly answered: c. cross bridges cycle and, when muscle tension exceeds the load, muscle shortening occurs.

4. Muscle shortening velocity


You correctly answered: a. decreases with heavier loads.

5. An isotonic contraction of a muscle is one in which


You correctly answered: a. the length of the muscle changes.

Experiment Results
Predict Question:
Predict Question: As the load on the muscle increases, what will happen to the latent period, the shortening velocity, the
distance that the weight moves, and the contraction duration?
Your answer : c. The latent period will decrease, the shortening velocity will decrease, the distance will increase, and the
contraction duration will increase.

Stop & Think Questions:


What kind of contraction did you observe when you attached the 2.0 gram weight to the skeletal muscle and stimulated a
contraction?
You correctly answered: c. isometric

1. Which of the weights allowed the fastest muscle shortening velocity?


You correctly answered: a. 0.5-g weight

2. Which of the weights induced the longest latent period of the muscle contraction?
You correctly answered: c. 1.5-g weight

3. Which weight did the muscle contraction move the greatest distance?
You correctly answered: a. 0.5-g weight

4. Which of the weights allowed the longest duration of muscle contraction?


You correctly answered: a. 0.5-g weight

5. An isotonic contraction of a muscle is one in which


You correctly answered: a. the length of the muscle changes.

6. When lifting a heavy load


You correctly answered: d. the muscle shortening velocity is decreased in comparison with lighter loads.

Review Sheet Results
1. If you were using your bicep muscles to curl a 7-kg dumbbell, when would your muscles be contracting isotonically?
Your answer:
pada saat mengangka lengan ke atas kemudian ke bawah

2. Explain why the latent period became longer as the load became heavier in the experiment. How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya dan eksperimen terlihat berbeda, saya berprediksi bahwa periode laten akan berkurang tetapi periode laten
akan meningkat karena dibutuhkan lebih banyak waktu untuk menghasilkan kekuatan yang baru

3. Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. How well did the
results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya salah, karena periode laten meningkat, jarak bertambah, dan kecepatan pemendekan membutuhkan waktu
lebih lama untuk mengangkat benda yang lebih berat dan juga kontraksi membutuhkan waktu yang lama untuk meningkat

4. Describe how the shortening distance changed as the load became heavier in this experiment. How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya benar, kecepatan pemendekan berkurang karena penambahan beban yang lebih berat

5. Explain why it would take you longer to perform 10 repetitions lifting a 10-kg weight than it would to perform the same
number of repetitions with a 5-kg weight.
Your answer:
Ketika terjadi peningkatan berat terjadilah juga peningkatan waktu periode laten. Ketika tejadi pemendekan kecepatan,
kecepatannya akan berkurang

6. Describe what would happen in the following experiment: A 2.5-g weight is attached to the end of the isolated whole
skeletal muscle used in these experiments. Simultaneously, the muscle is maximally stimulated by 8.5 volts and the platform
supporting the weight is removed. Will the muscle generate force? Will the muscle change length? What is the name for this
type of contraction?
Your answer:
Nama kontraksi adalah kontraksi Isometrik. Otot akan menghasilkan kekuatan otot saat otot meregang. Berat alat akan
menarik otot ke bawah, tetapi perubahan panjang otot bukan dari kontraksi melainkan dari berat itu sendiri
