Muscle fatigue is weakness or weariness resulting from exertion or prolonged stress and the failure to maintain an expected power output. (Amussen) The process by which your body produces energy is called glycolysis. During glycolysis‚ glycogen is broken to produce creatine phosphate‚ which releases energy. The energy released catalyzes a reaction to produce ATP. The ending product of glycolysis is lactic acid‚ which is created by breaking pyruvate acid down. Then lactic acid is broken down to produce

------------------------------------------------- LIST OF MUSCLE INJURIES Properly functioning muscles perform only one duty‚ contraction. Muscles enable the body to sit‚ to move and to stand upright. They are attached by way of tendons to bones. Their contraction is controlled by electrical signals that can either be voluntary‚ such as when a person decides to stand up‚ or involuntary‚ as with the muscles that expand and contract the chest to control breathing. Muscles are made of thousands of muscle fibers. Knowing the types

Cardiac This is an involuntary muscle‚ found solely in the walls of the heart‚ as well as in the walls of the blood vessels. This sort of muscle has similarities with the skeletal muscles‚ because it is striated. Furthermore‚ it has slight similarities to the smooth muscles‚ because its contractions are not under conscious control. On the other hand this type of muscle is highly specialised. It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions

Muscle building is a subject that interests many‚ but it is common for people to be somewhat confused as to how they should go about sculpting the body they desire. By arming yourself with the right information‚ you can soon be well on your way to the impressive physique you have always wanted. The article that follows can help you do just that. You should keep track of your progress. Weigh yourself regularly or measure your arms for instance. This will help you find out if you are working out

The muscle was consistently moistened by Ringer’s solution throughout the entire experiment. The Achilles tendon was removed at the heel of the frog. The tibiofibular bone was cut below the knee and the femur below the knee (Frog Skeletal Muscle Experiement). The baseline value of the force transducer was set to zero. This zeroing

factors affect muscle fatigue? Introduction: In this experiment muscles will be tested with weight‚ to see if weight is truly a factor in muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue is the muscle’s ability to contract exert its normal strength due to physical stress upon it. The structure of a muscle include a thin layer called epimysium which surrounds the entire muscle‚ deeper to the epimysium is the perimysium. This layer contains fascicles which are bundles of muscle cells. In between the muscle cells are endomysium

Evolutionary adaptation occurs over generations. Evolutionary adaptation does involve genetic change but it’s the change in traits as a result of genetic change that drives natural selection and evolutionary adaptation (just genetic change alone won’t drive evolutionary change). Physiological adaptation is

Children and muscle building programs‚ a safe choice? The importance of exercise in childhood development is beyond any discussion and we all realize that kids are more and more engaging in a sedentary lifestyle much like adults. So‚ it is very important to educate your child in healthy habits and to help develop a workout routine that is suitable for him or her. The question that is posed in this article is: should a bodybuilding workout be included in that routine? To start‚ let us define

When it comes to muscle contraction‚ contraction takes place in the muscle fibers. Muscle fibers are the basic building blocks of the muscle and what allow muscles to contract. They appear as long cylinder cells that contain several nuclei. Contraction happens when the muscle receive signals from the nervous system and the Neuromuscular Junction obtains the muscular exchange where the synaptic bulb and the muscle fibers connect. muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils‚ which contain contractile
