    INTRODUCTION OF MUSCULAR SYSTEM. Muscles tissue do is done by the coordinated contraction and release of millions of sarcomeres‚ tiny structures within the muscles cells. Muscle activity accounts for the most of the body’s energy consumption. All muscles tissues is strong. Most is enduring‚ some of it astoundingly so. Its cells are crowded with mitochondria‚ thousands of little factories constantly turning out molecules of ATP‚ a refined fuel. There are three types of muscles that can be found in our body

    Thermal Expansion and Contraction Most of the matters‚ without some exceptions‚ expand with the increasing temperature. When you give heat to matters; speed of its particles increase and distance between them also increase which results in the increase of the volumes of matters. All expansions occurs in volume of the substance however‚ sometimes some of the dimensions of them expand more with respect to others. In this case we neglect the less expanded ones and assume expansion like linear expansion

    Muscle fatigue is weakness or weariness resulting from exertion or prolonged stress and the failure to maintain an expected power output. (Amussen) The process by which your body produces energy is called glycolysis. During glycolysis‚ glycogen is broken to produce creatine phosphate‚ which releases energy. The energy released catalyzes a reaction to produce ATP. The ending product of glycolysis is lactic acid‚ which is created by breaking pyruvate acid down. Then lactic acid is broken down to produce

    Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when

    ------------------------------------------------- LIST OF MUSCLE INJURIES Properly functioning muscles perform only one duty‚ contraction. Muscles enable the body to sit‚ to move and to stand upright. They are attached by way of tendons to bones. Their contraction is controlled by electrical signals that can either be voluntary‚ such as when a person decides to stand up‚ or involuntary‚ as with the muscles that expand and contract the chest to control breathing. Muscles are made of thousands of muscle fibers. Knowing the types
