ankles‚ feet‚ wrists‚ and the fingers. They are cube shaped‚ very light and strong. The flat bones are strong‚ flat plated‚ and provide protection for all the major organs‚ such as the brain‚ heart and the lungs. They can also provide attachment for muscles. Irregular bones are bones that don’t fit into any category‚ they help to support and protect joints‚ and an example of this would be the vertebrae. And finally‚ the sesamoid bones‚ they are usually short or irregular bones that are placed / imbedded

abnormalities. This paper will provide knowledge of the anatomy‚ biomechanics‚ and correct rehabilitation involved with shoulder impingement. 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

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

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

"The Politics of Muscle" by Gloria Steinem is an essay arguing the difference in strength between men and women. Steinem starts her essay by stating how she grew up in a generation where women didn’t participate in a lot‚ if any‚ sport activities. She goes on to say that she believes this is the reason why women of her generation believe that it’s not what the female body does‚ but how it looks. Steinem feels that women always seemed to be owned in some degree as the means of reproduction. She believes

in demand for more oxygen and this is due to the working muscles needing more oxygen and energy during exercise. 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

To cope with stress try having a massage‚ go to a sauna and‚ find out what is stressing you out and try to find a solution to your stress. Sleep/Rest Sleep is essential. It is not an option. Regular

blood supply would increase because their legs would need more energy. This means that there would be more blood circulating in their legs than normal because they are being overworked. During acute exercise muscle pliability increases allowing a greater range of movement. Acute exercise causes muscle fibre tears. Energy Systems Response to Acute Exercise: An energy systems response to acute exercise happens when the exercise is of a high intensity‚ which is too much for the cardiovascular and respiratory

System The Musculoskeletal System combines the skeletal system and the muscular system. All of the bones‚ cartilage‚ muscles‚ joints‚ tendons and ligaments in a person’s body compose what is known as the musculoskeletal system. The bones provide the body with a framework‚ giving it shape and support; they also serve as protection for internal organs such as the lungs and liver. Muscles are fibres that help to make deliberate movement of a body part or involuntary movement within an internal organ possible
