Static Contraction Weight Lifting Going to the gym‚ I notice people blindly bouncing from weight machine to machine until they do enough repetitions to make the target muscle group tired. Isn’t that the goal of working out? Tiring yourself out so your body grows more muscle? No‚ unfortunately that is not how it works. Working out with the purpose of gaining muscle and strength requires more than just getting “tired” and it must be more than just a habit. One of the best ways to train your body

excitation-contraction coupling mechanism between skeletal and cardiac muscles. Excitation-contraction coupling is the combination of the electrical and mechanical events in the muscle fibres and is related by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction. This initiates muscle action potential
