the nervous and muscle system arise according to (Kenney & Wilmore and Costill‚ 2015). A series of events that triggers the muscle fibre to contract is termed as excitation-contraction coupling according to Kenney & Wilmore and Costill (2015) because it starts with the excitation of a motor nerve which results in contraction of the muscle fibres. This development starts with a nerve impulse or action potential from the brain. Kenney & Wilmore and Costill (2015) states when the action potential reaches

The shoulder is the most complex joint in the body. It is capable of moving in more than 16‚000 positions. Many of its ailments‚ including the most common ones‚ involve biomechanical mechanisms that are unique to the shoulder. The most common shoulder problem for which professional help is sought out for is shoulder impingement (Haig 1996). Shoulder impingement is primarily an overuse injury that involves a mechanical compression of the supraspinatus tendon‚ subacromial bursa‚ and the long head of

controlled by a single motor neuron Skeletal muscle twitch- a single stimulus-contraction-relaxation cycle in a skeletal muscle Electrical stimulus- uses an electrical current to cause a single muscle or a group of muscles to contract Latent period- the time between the stimulation of a muscle and the start of the contraction phase 2. Acetylcholine is the chemical signal the nerve sends to the muscle to cause contraction. 3. The motor unit meets at the neuromuscular junction‚ where the axon

stretch. The muscle working is contracting – agonist‚ opposing muscle is relaxing – antagonist - types of muscle contraction; When muscles are relaxed they are soft and loose but when they contract to produce a force they become hard and elastic. Two main types of contractions are isotonic; (equal tension) the muscle develops a force in lifting and lowering a load. 1. Concentric isotonic– the muscle develops

MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the

There are a number of different methods to measuring strength. Including‚ strength tests‚ for example‚ bench press‚ squat and deadlift. However‚ to gain a precise amount of force production through a muscle contraction‚ a type of dynamometer must be used. The Biodex has shown to be reliable and accurate throughout numerous amounts of studies. To test force production‚ the main method is through an isokinetic test. One of the most reliable and advanced systems is the Biodex isokinetic system. Asundi
