Muscular Strength and Endurance Lab The purpose of this lab was to provide muscular fitness tests to assess upper and lower body muscular strength and muscular endurance using resisted exercise or exercise machines. This was done through a number of tests including: max push-ups‚ max curl-ups‚ bench press‚ and leg press. Using a chart‚ the student was able to compare their max repetition of each exercise to the normal range for their age group. Muscular fitness tests are classified as increasing

Definition - Muscular dystrophy is a genetic mutation where the muscle fibres become susceptible to damages causing the muscle to progressively get weaker. Eventually muscular dystrophy will cause the inheritance of this disease to need a wheelchair. Muscular dystrophy is most commonly found in boy and in their early childhood years‚ other types of muscular dystrophy don’t surface until adulthood. Duchenne muscular dystrophy symptoms include; Frequent falls‚ difficulty getting up from a lying

“How did you score on each of your assessments? Are you at all surprised by your ratings for muscular strength and endurance?” According to the results for each of the assessments‚ I scored above average on most of the tests.

There are many researches about the restoration of spinal cord injuries to give hope to those affected by spinal cord injuries

What is Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy? Muscular dystrophies are a group of genetic conditions characterized by progressive muscle weakness and wasting (atrophy). The Duchenne and Becker types of muscular dystrophy are two related conditions that primarily affect skeletal muscles‚ which are used for movement‚ and heart (cardiac) muscle. These forms of muscular dystrophy occur almost exclusively in males. Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies have similar signs and symptoms and are caused

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
