Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to use the muscle tension and the electrical activity in the dominant and non-dominant forearm muscle‚ the flexor digitorum superficialis‚ to analyze the determinants of muscle tension and fatigue‚ and the reasons as to why differences may occur between the dominant and non-dominant arm. The generation of tension in a muscle is determined by the major type of motor unit being recruited‚ as well as the rate in which action potentials are being fired. A subject

Robert Guillaume The Rough Ride of a Smooth Actor Mark Miller Actor Robert Guillaume is a man without regrets. Well‚ maybe one. "I always wanted to be able to play the piano & never succeeded. I was a total bust. I had an inability to practice‚ and when I did practice‚ no amount of practice made me play better or sound better. And I blame the Catholic Church for screwing up my sense of music." The Catholic Church? But isn’t the Church known for its music? Guillaume elaborates.

support for the women they look after. The pelvic floor consists of layers of muscles “stretching like a hammock from the pubic bone in the front‚ to the base of the spine” (O’Connell‚ Bennett & Jarvis‚ 2004). There are three openings that pass through the pelvic floor; the urethra from the bladder‚ the vagina from the uterus and the anus from the bowel (The Royal Women’s Hospital Fact Sheet‚ 2010). The pelvic floor muscles work to support the bladder‚ uterus and bowel (Hendy‚ 2006; The Royal Women’s

contraction in skeletal muscle is caused by specialized intracellular thin and thick filaments‚ actin and myosin‚ sliding past each other. Contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle bring about body movements. These body movements are voluntary and facilitated by the somatic nervous system. Near contact between somatic motor neurons and the muscle fibers are referred to as neuromuscular junctions. It is at the neuromuscular junctions that neurons are able to transmit a signal to the muscle fibers causing

workload doubles. The muscles can hold a higher workload if they originally have a higher threshold of stimulation with no workload at all. 2. Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? A muscle’s threshold of stimulation changes as its workload changes because the muscle needs more stimulation and more power to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement

Muscle Fatigue By Jaclyn Mullick B.S. The onset of muscle fatigue has hindered many athletes from achieving their maximum performance. Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness.
