Cardio Pulmonary Practical The main aim of the practical was to assess‚ what affects did light exercise have on the systolic and diastolic blood pressure‚ heart and respiration rate‚ tidal volume‚ minute volume and percentage of gas. The readings were taken before exercise‚ during exercise and after exercise. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of pressure exerted on the vessels walls‚ during blood flow. Blood pressure can be measured using a sphygmomanometer. The upper value indicates the

Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic diseases involving progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles that control movement. In some forms of MD‚ the heart muscles and other involuntary muscles‚ as well as other organs‚ are affected. There are 9 distinct types of MD. Myotonic MD is the most common form among adults‚ while Duchenne MD is the most common form among children (it affects only boys). Some are severe diseases at birth that lead to early death. Others follow very slow progressive

Muscular Dystrophy: any of a group of hereditary diseases marked by progressive wasting of certain "muscles." (Oxford) A general term for a group of inherited disorders which are characterized by progressive degeneration of skeletal muscles. A group of inherited progressive muscle disorders characterized by muscle weakness and eventual death of the muscle tissues. Examples include “Duchenne muscular dystrophy” and “Becker’s muscular dystrophy.” (NCIt) All of the muscles may be affected. Or‚ only

Principles of Muscular Flexibility The overload and specificity of training principles also apply to development of muscular flexibility. To increase the total range of motion (ROM) of a joint‚ the specific muscles surrounding that joint have to be stretched progressively beyond their accustomed length. The principles of MODE‚ INTENSITY‚ REPETITIONS and FREQUENCY of exercise also can be applied to flexibility programs. 1.MODE OF EXERCISE * BALLISTIC STRETCHING Ballistic stretching is

You need to make sure your group researches your particular area thoroughly and covers the following responses depending on what system has been assigned. Your group will then present back the findings to the rest of the group through a detailed and informative A3 poster. • Musculoskeletal response: increased blood supply; increase in muscle pliability; increased

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness throughout your body. This disorder is caused my mutations in the dystrophin gene. The dystrophin gene is responsible for the production of a muscle protein. So the muscles suffer a loss of protein and contractile fibers. Then the muscles replaced with fat and connective tissue. DMD mostly affects young males exclusively due to an x-linked recessive inheritance pattern

An Overview of Anatomy Exercise 1: Anatomical Position QUESTION: A. Explain why it is important to have a universally accepted anatomical position when studying the structure of humans. Having a universally accepted anatomical positional is important to avoid confusion. It creates a reference point so that no matter language or background of different people‚ they can still communicate efficiently. Exercise 2: Surface Anatomy A. Review Figure 3.

Muscular strength is the ability of the muscles to apply force against a body or object. Muscular strength is also required for all movements of the skeleton‚ especially in reference to exercise and sport‚ because it enables the body to generate more force against an object‚ improving the performance and movement efficiency. Strength training is a sort of physical exercise using resistance to induce muscular contraction which will build the strength and anaerobic endurance. The structures involved
