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

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

that "muscles only know tension." This view is overly simplistic. In reality‚ a number of factors must be taken into account. What degree of tension? What duration of tension? What frequency of tension? What kind of tension? Certainly passive tension isn’t as effective as active tension in packing on lean mass. Many believe that the continuous quest for increased maximal strength is the key to developing massive muscles. But while increased strength is definitely related to increased muscle cross

Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded people we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy‚ and energy is required for this. We need energy to be able to move and use our muscles which also only operate when
