Biomechanics of Injury: Notes Sports injuries are divided into two categories: Acute and Chronic Acute Injury Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. E.g. sprained ankles‚ strained back and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of acute injury include: Sudden severe pain Swelling Inability to place weight on a lower limb Extreme tenderness in an upper limb Inability to move a joint through full range of motion Extreme limb weakness Visible dislocation/break

90 seconds is needed. (And then some!) German Volume Training Notes You will also find that on certain exercises‚ you will lose strength fairly quickly. My strength dives when trying to hammer out sets of overhead presses. I don’t think I’d be able to perform 10 sets of 10 reps with 20% of my 1RM for this exercise. Hang in there. Over time‚ your strength endurance will noticeably increase. Push for one more rep on every set. As long as you focus on

A variety of studies have shown that the best way to offset the cardiovascular stress caused by strength training is to combine cardiorespiratory endurance exercise such as a brisk walk‚ bicycling‚ or elliptical machine‚ immediately after a weight training exercise. Regular aerobic exercise causes your lungs to process more oxygen with less effort;

fitness 6 A) Various components of Physical fitness are as follows:- Strength : Strength is the ability of the muscles to overcome resistance . Strength is a major component of physical fitness. Strength of the body can be measured in pounds or dynes. A certain level of strength is also essential for a common man Strength can be divided into two parts: a ) Dynamic Strength (b) Static Strength. The methods of strength development are a) Isometric‚ b) Isotonic and c) Iso- kinetic exercises.

After the pre corrosion various test were performed to study the effects of pre corrosion on tensile strength and fatigue life. Aluminium alloy 8011 is used in the production of fins of various heat exchangers which are used in the cooling systems of automobiles‚ aircrafts‚ ships etc. Due to various atmospheric conditions like marine environment and air
