Describe what happens to the angular velocity of a limb during a constant concentric muscle contraction when the load (resistance) is increased. Describe this in terms of net torque

What will be an ideal response?


ANS: The limb will slow down. In a concentric muscle contraction, the muscle is the effort force. If the
magnitude of the resistance is increased, the result will be a reduced net torque; consequently, the
angular acceleration of the limb will decrease in magnitude.
