    within the chemical bonds between the Adenosine and the three phosphate molecules. Water is added in the chemical reaction‚ causing one of the bonds to break‚ which releases one molecule of energy from the phosphate. This molecule is used for the muscle contraction. The ATP then turns into ADP as it’s lost a phosphate molecule. The ADP needs to gain another phosphate to be re-used for another reaction. Creatine-Phosphate is needed for this reaction‚ so the enzyme Creatine-Kinase is used to separate the

    tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation‚ emphasis should be given to both the concentric and eccentric phases of the movement. During the concentric phase‚ the muscle shortens from a lengthened position and during the eccentric phase the muscle lengthens from a shortened position. For example‚ in the execution of the squat‚ the subject begins in a standing position where his/her quadriceps and gluteus maximus are in a shortened position. During the

    heat exhaustion or heat stroke (Leong‚ 2007). Drinking water after exercise helps to restore water balance in the body. Drinking sport drink‚ which contain sugar and electrolytes‚ can replace the electrolytes that loss in the body. Nerve and muscle contraction can be measured by monitoring changes in reaction time to find the effect of sport drink. The reaction time will be smaller after drinking sport drink than water. Key word : electrolytes‚ sport drink‚ exercise‚ reaction time‚ water Introduction

Impingement syndrome was originally described by Dr. Charles Neer as mechanical impingement of the supraspinatus muscle and the long head of the biceps tendon underneath the acromial arch. Neer classified three stages of impingement. Stage I is characterized by edema and hemorrhage of the rotator cuff and suprahumeral tissue. Stage II is characterized by fibrosis of

    ability of the muscles to apply force against a body or object. Muscular strength is also required for all movements of the skeleton‚ especially in reference to exercise and sport‚ because it enables the body to generate more force against an object‚ improving the performance and movement efficiency. Strength training is a sort of physical exercise using resistance to induce muscular contraction which will build the strength and anaerobic endurance. The structures involved are muscles‚ tendons‚ ligaments

With there been an increase in blood supply that means there will be greater amounts of oxygen been delivered around the body at a faster speed due to the heart pumping blood around the body at a faster pace. Increase in muscle pliability: Muscle pliability is the stretchiness of your muscles and connective tissues. When muscles become warm they become more pliable and this helps reduce
