1. Describe the main muscle groups of the body and their function There are three main categories that the muscles in the human body fall into: • Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is the foremost area of concern for a sports masseuse. The main functions of this muscle group is to move the body in a voluntary manner‚ for example‚ if you want to kick a ball you will voluntarily have to send a signal through your brain to inform the muscles in your legs to contract/flex/extend and execute the skill

to challenge all of the muscle groups in the body. This can only be done with multiple levels of resistance (tension). The fact is that each of your muscle groups is a different size and a different strength. Your thighs are stronger than your arms‚ your back is stronger than your shoulders etc… If you use one level of resistance for all of your muscles some will be challenged and some will not. Why is it so important to challenge you muscles? When you challenge a muscle (place it under new stresses)

of three different muscle types cardiac‚ smooth‚ and skeletal muscle. For this particular experiment the primary focus was skeletal muscle‚ which accounts for about 36% to 45% of total body weight and involves the integration of more than 600 different muscles (WordPress‚ 2006). Skeletal muscle contains many unique properties such as; elasticity and extensibility which allows a muscle to be stretched and return to its original state when not in use. Additionally skeletal muscles also contain a property

Dilemma‚ What to Eat or What to not for Muscle Mass? It is difficult for most of the body builders to control their died when they are following a muscle building diet. The reason behind this is that think if they will eat a lot‚ this will magically contribute in bulking up. They may be right up to a certain degree but they are unaware that weight gain means adding fat also. This is not a healthy way of increasing muscle mass. The best way is to follow a muscle gain diet‚ which is according to your

2017 Motor Unit Recruitment and Muscle Fatigue Lab Introduction Human skeletal muscles are made up of hundreds of cylindrically-shaped cells called myofibers‚ and they are bound together by connective tissue. These muscles are stimulated to contract by somatic motor nerves‚ or motor neurons‚ that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord‚ to the skeletal muscles. Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers‚ each muscle fiber can only be innervated by one

Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration John Doe GEN/200 April 18‚ 2011 John Deere Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration Muscles cramps and spasms can be annoying. If the body is not taking in enough daily fluids it can cause major health issues in a short amount of time. Fluids as well as other contributing factors such as age‚ has a large influence on muscles. People can often suffer from muscle weakness and cramping from dehydration. Exercising can also reduce

by the nervous and endocrine systems Skeletal muscle tissue function of most is to move bones of the skeleton (are few that attach to other structures ex--the skin). Muscle tissue is striated b/c alternating light and dark protein bands (striations) are visible when tissue is closer examined. Muscle tissue action is voluntarily/activity can be controlled consciously. Cardiac muscle tissue found only in the heart—forms most of the heart wall. Muscle is striated (like skeletal)‚ and its action is

There have been reported quite a lot of cases in which muscle building programs have led to serious side effects‚ causing people who followed these programs to end up in the hospital with severe health problems. However one can not have problems only by following a normal muscle building program. That is if one follows the strict rules these programs imply. One of the most common side effects when trying to build muscle is overtraining. People don’t seem to understand that these programs are serious

Despite the complexity of the human body and the diversity of organs it contains; there are only four tissues called basic or principal tissues - these are epithelium‚ connective tissue‚ muscle and nerve tissue. The following paragraphs describe the main structural features‚ functions and sub-divisions of each type of tissue. EPITHELIUM Epithelium is characterised by closely packed cells and has very little extra-cellular material
