Three-dimensional (3D) gait measurement and a 3D FE foot model comprising 29 bones‚ 85 ligaments and the plantar soft tissues were used to investigate the foot arch and plantar fascia deformations in mid-stance phase. The heel pad simulation results show that the pad model with fat cells (coupling model) has much stronger capacity in impact

Some of the long term benefits of exercise on the muscular system are as follows : increased numbers of mitochondria (the cells powerhouse) means an increase in the rate of energy production. The muscles‚ bones and ligaments become stronger to cope with the additional stresses and impact put through them and helps you stay fit. The amount of myoglobin within skeletal muscle increases‚ which allows more Oxygen to be stored within the muscle‚ and transported to the mitochondria
