Abstract The major racket sports include badminton‚ squash‚ table tennis and tennis. The growth of sports science and the commercialization of racket sports in recent years have focused attention on improved performance and this has led to a more detailed study and understanding of all aspects of racket sports. The aim here‚ therefore‚ is to review recent developments of the application of motor skills to racket sports specifically on badminton. It is evident that a great deal of scientific endeavor

Muscle Fatigue Monira Begum How muscles work and get the energy they need to work. Muscles need energy to work and move. (1) Their main source of energy is glucose. Glucose is made of a number of different types of carbohydrates (usually sugar) as well as milk and fruits. Glucose turns into other chemicals such as water and carbon dioxide which releases energy. (2)Your muscles get warm when using or burning energy. Glucose is sent to muscles through red blood cells; this is how muscles get

(a) Give generalized conclusions (in point form) according to your observation in (a). 1. systolic pressure increases when the degree of exercise increases Systolic pressure increases gradually from 115 mmHg at rest to 150 mmHg during severe exercise. When thr degree of exercise increases‚ the skeleton muscle needs more energy(ATP) for rapid contraction by carrying out aerobic respiration. The skeleton muscle required faster uptake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide. At the same time‚ skeleton

A. Cardiovascular Fitness At the moment‚ my cardiovascular fitness is not very efficient‚ if I do not improve my cardiovascular fitness‚ it will increase my likelihood of heart disease and respiratory problems down the road. By increasing my cardiovascular endurance level‚ it can help my cardiovascular and respiratory systems to function properly while under the stress of challenging exercise sessions. Like the book mentions‚ improving cardiovascular endurance will not only help boost oxygen to

Cardiac Catheterization and Kidney Function In many hospitals‚ the use of cardiac catheterization is used to determine if a patient has occluded arteries or grafts. This procedure saves many lives every day and helps prevent myocardial infarctions in many cases. The procedure itself is rather simple and safe for the most part‚ but one thing that many fail to realize is how hard the procedure is on kidney function due to the dye used intra-procedure. According to the NIH‚ kidney damage caused by

Benefits of exercise: reduction of anxiety and improvements of well-being of pregnant women. Physical fitness has many positive effects on individuals’ physical health and well-being (). Exercise has been shown in previously conducted research to help ease muscle tension‚ alleviate back pain‚ and help regulate blood pressure (Jones‚ Dean and Lo‚ 2002). Exercise activity releases endorphins in the brain‚ which can improve mental focus‚ reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem (McArthur and Raedeke‚

Designing an Aerobic training program can be quite similar to anaerobic training prescriptions and improvements in aerobic endurance performance can be derived only when decent principles are applied during training.One of them being training specificity which basically means adaptations to the physiological systems that arise in training programs. During exercise‚ your muscles demand more oxygen-rich blood and give off more carbon dioxide and other waste products. In conclusion‚ your heart has
