The Physiology of Fitness – Acute and long term effects on the body Musculoskeletal System Response to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply During exercise your blood supply increases to your muscles‚ the reason for this is to keep them working and making sure that they don’t get tired too easily. Increase in Muscle Pliability During exercise your muscles will also become more pliable because as the muscles contract quickly they will generate heat‚ this then makes the muscles more pliable

Muscle In this experiment‚ you will explore how muscles work. You will also examine some of the properties of muscle fatigue. In this experiment‚ you will electrically stimulate the nerves in the forearm to demonstrate recruitment‚ summation‚ and tetanus. Written by staff of ADInstruments. Background The skeleton provides support and articulation for the body. Bones act as support structures and joints function as pivot points. Skeletal‚ or striated‚ muscles are connected to the bones

and females. Men have more lean muscle mass and respiration occurs at the cellular level of the mitochondria in the muscle‚ so the more mitochondria means the body can be in a longer state of aerobic respiration (Bonen & Shaw 2008). 2b) V02 max decrease is accompanied by the loss of lean muscle tissue as one ages. According to a study by Betik and Hepple (1988)‚ the reduced rate of muscle oxygen delivery caused by a lowered cardiac output‚ reduced skeletal muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial

1. Consider the equation F = DP/R. It describes the flow (F) of fluid in a tube in which there is a pressure difference (DP) between the two ends and a resistance (R) to flow. The equation indicates that(2.0 Score ) A.the flow of fluid from point A to point B in a tube depends upon the difference in pressure between A and B. B.the flow of fluid in a tube depends upon the absolute pressure at the beginning of the tube. C.the greater the resistance to flow in a tube‚ the greater the flow for any

Muscle tissue Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. There are other movements in the body too which are necessary for the survival of the organism such as the heart beat and the movements of the alimentary canal. Muscles can be divided into three main groups according to their structure * Smooth muscle tissue. * Skeletal muscle tissue. * Cardiac (heart) muscle tissue.

Stress Relief Muscle tension often occurs when we are under mental stress. Stretching helps us to relax our muscles and our minds. Muscular Training Muscular Endurance With increased muscular endurance‚ you will be able to perform physical activities that require muscle movement over a longer period of time. Muscular Strength With increased muscular strength‚ you will be able to apply maximum force against a resistance (like lifting a couch) and be less fatigued. Muscle Mass and Basal Metabolism

MUSCLE FATIGUE HOW DO MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY TO WORK? In muscles‚ it is essential that Calcium is present‚ as this gives the muscles the ability to contract and relax. For muscles to contract energy is needed: the energy can only be provided by the breakdown of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As ATP is broken down‚ a phosphate molecule is broken off‚ reducing the phosphate molecules‚ from 3 to 2. This produces adenosine triphosphate. However for the muscles contraction to continue

The muscle physiology of skeletal muscle was observed by using electrical‚ physical‚ and neural stimulations of an isolated gastrocnemius muscle from Rana pipiens. The gastrocnemius receives signals from the action potentials of the sciatic nerve. The muscle contraction is caused by the binding of a neurotransmitter once the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. Stimulation of the muscle and the sciatic nerve allows for recording and measuring of these properties. We observed twitch
