In this lab‚ we are measuring the EMG amp (mV)‚ or electrical activity‚ from action potentials produced from muscle contractions in order to gain an indication of the number of active motor units used in the contraction. This is done by adding more load to the muscle or force. There is examining of the EMG amp produced from a twitch at varying levels of muscle force and EMG amp from muscles when more load is placed on them. During the experiment‚ we set up the equipment‚ electrodes and software

workload doubles. The muscles can hold a higher workload if they originally have a higher threshold of stimulation with no workload at all. 2. Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? A muscle’s threshold of stimulation changes as its workload changes because the muscle needs more stimulation and more power to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement

coarsely controlled muscles. Explain how motor units act to establish muscle tone. What are the functions of muscle tone? Motor Unit- One motor neuron and all the muscles it innervates. Each muscle will respond to one motor nerve which contains axons that can have up to 100’s of neurons that branch into terminals that form NMJ with ONE fiber. When a motor neuron sends an action potential‚ it will cause all of the connected muscle fibers to contract. The number of muscle fibers per motor unit

The beginning of Reebok can be traced back to as early as the 1890s. A man by the name of Joseph William Foster heard the demands of the athletes who wanted to run faster and developed the first cleated running shoes. By 1895‚ he had formed J.W. Foster and Sons. This company made hand-stitched athletic shoes for a lot of the top athletes during that time. This paved the way for the creation of Reebok International‚ still in England‚ which was founded by two of Joseph Foster’s grandsons. The name

There are different form of relaxations including breathing exercises‚ deep muscle relaxation‚ imaginary‚ meditation and yoga. Although each of these has different components‚ the main goal in each is to relax the muscles in the body and focus the mind. Relaxation can be the part of hypnotherapy; usually relaxation is used as an induction process. Induce a patient to enter a trance state is to influence a state of relaxation‚ improve the patient wellbeing and make positive life changes. (Turn

causes the contraction or shortening of skeletal muscle. Muscles contract and shorten and as a result of this they are responsible for the movement of the body. In order to have movement the body needs ligaments‚ tendons muscles‚ joints‚ bones and the neurotransmitter or message sent for movement. Skeletal muscles that produce movement occurs at any given joint‚ only one of the articulating bones will move. The point of articulation‚ or where the muscles and the bones connect‚ is known as a joint.

Muscle Fatigue By Jaclyn Mullick B.S. The onset of muscle fatigue has hindered many athletes from achieving their maximum performance. Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness. This is only partially true; there is a little more to it than what we have been told. I hope that this article provides you with a possible short-term remedy and does not confuse you more but rather makes you more aware
