Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a group of genetic diseases involving progressive weakness and degeneration of the muscles that control movement. In some forms of MD‚ the heart muscles and other involuntary muscles‚ as well as other organs‚ are affected. There are 9 distinct types of MD. Myotonic MD is the most common form among adults‚ while Duchenne MD is the most common form among children (it affects only boys). Some are severe diseases at birth that lead to early death. Others follow very slow progressive

These muscles help us talk‚ walk‚ sit‚ run‚ eat‚ move about‚ hold things‚ and most important the continuous pumping of the heart muscles keeps us alive. Muscular system diseases cause many problems in the human body‚ that affects the mobility and functioning of various parts of the body. The list is very long as there are number of disorders that affect the human body

However‚ considering the duration of a badminton match‚ which could last from 30 minutes to an hour‚ it also has aerobic elements which means it would also require sustained endurance. So the more accurate description would be that badminton is both an aerobic and anaerobic sport‚ with emphasis on the anaerobic aspect. The Three Energy Systems: There are three energy systems

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal genetic disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness throughout your body. This disorder is caused my mutations in the dystrophin gene. The dystrophin gene is responsible for the production of a muscle protein. So the muscles suffer a loss of protein and contractile fibers. Then the muscles replaced with fat and connective tissue. DMD mostly affects young males exclusively due to an x-linked recessive inheritance pattern
