Sports Medicine Review Questions
Course Introduction
Sports Medicine explores the medical, scientific, and therapeutic principles related to physical activity, exercise, and athletic performance. This course covers injury prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation techniques for common sports-related injuries, as well as the physiological responses and adaptations of the body to exercise. Students will examine topics such as sports nutrition, pharmacology, biomechanics, exercise prescription, and the psychological aspects of sports participation, gaining knowledge essential for supporting athletes' health, safety, and optimal performance.

Q1) Which of the following statements describes the relationship between joint reaction forces and the translational/rotatory component forces?
A) The contact force and translation component force run parallel to each other.
B) The contact force and rotatory component force run parallel to each other.
C) The shear force and translation component force run parallel to each other.
Answer: A
Q2) How do you determine the net effect of two muscle pulls applied to the same spot?
What is this process called?
Answer: You find the resultant pull of the two forces by drawing the two forces,creating a parallelogram by adding sides parallel to each of the forces,and drawing a diagonal within the parallelogram.The resultant is the diagonal with its point of application at the original source and whose arrow head (limit of magnitude)is at the opposite corner of the parallelogram.This is called composition of forces.
Q3) The relative line of gravity changes with changes in body position.
A)True
B)False
Answer: True

Sample Questions
Q1) In order to produce maximum torque for an isokinetic concentric contraction,should the speed of the motion be fast or slow? For an isokinetic eccentric contraction?
Answer: Isokinetic contractions are most commonly concentric but may also be produced eccentrically.A slower concentric contraction will always produce greater tension than a faster one using the same number of motor units.The slowest isokinetic contraction (therefore,the one producing the greatest tension)is one that does not produce movement (that is,an isometric contraction-0°/sec).In an eccentric isokinetic contraction,a faster speed produces more tension than a slower contraction using the same number of motor units.Consequently,peak isokinetic eccentric torque will be greater for a given muscle with faster machine settings,as long as the person can maintain the preset speed.
Q2) The function of a Sharpey fiber is to:
A) Attach the periosteum to the bone
B) Attach ligaments to capsules
