Thato’s muscle had remained unused for 6 weeks. Once the cast is removed and he steps down from the examination table‚ his muscle begins to contract. Due to this 6 week period of rest‚ the muscles initial strength of contraction may be significantly low as compared to its strength a few minutes later. The strength of contraction of his muscle increases to a plateau‚ which is termed the staircase effect. Due to his muscles low initial strength of contraction‚ Thato loses his balance and falls. 1

Muscle adaptations to the increase in energy demands at the start of exercise Introduction The transition from rest to exercise is associated with a huge upsurge in energy expenditure‚ due primarily to skeletal muscle contractions (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). Contractions require energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP stores in muscle are around 8mmol/l and are exhausted within 2s of exercise (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). To continue exercise and maintain ATP homeostasis‚ ATP

to challenge all of the muscle groups in the body. This can only be done with multiple levels of resistance (tension). The fact is that each of your muscle groups is a different size and a different strength. Your thighs are stronger than your arms‚ your back is stronger than your shoulders etc… If you use one level of resistance for all of your muscles some will be challenged and some will not. Why is it so important to challenge you muscles? When you challenge a muscle (place it under new stresses)

Muscle Soreness Nearly anyone who works out regularly has experienced sore muscles after exercise. Sometimes you will feel it later that night‚ or the next morning and in some cases‚ you may actually think you are out of the woods‚ only to wake up two days later with stiff‚ tender muscles that feel as tight as rubber bands. For some people‚ sore muscles are a reward after a hard workout. In fact‚ some people are not happy unless they are sore after their workout‚ while others could live without

coarsely controlled muscles. Explain how motor units act to establish muscle tone. What are the functions of muscle tone? Motor Unit- One motor neuron and all the muscles it innervates. Each muscle will respond to one motor nerve which contains axons that can have up to 100’s of neurons that branch into terminals that form NMJ with ONE fiber. When a motor neuron sends an action potential‚ it will cause all of the connected muscle fibers to contract. The number of muscle fibers per motor unit

that is to gain lean muscle mass. To go about this‚ you need three aspects and goals to resound in harmony in order to successfully achieve your body composition goals. A proper diet to put on muscle and lose fat‚ a vigorous and consistent training regimen‚ proper rest‚ and most importantly a disciplined mindset towards pushing the limits of the body are necessary for building lean muscle mass. First and foremost; the diet is absolutely essential to building lean muscle mass. Possibly the most

How does Steinbeck present an aspect of power in Of Mice and Men? Introduction Steinbeck shows us power in many different ways‚ Physical‚ Personal‚ Financial Power and Power of Seduction the novel was set in the 1930’s when power meant a lot to a lot of people. This meant that people would do anything to get respected! In the 1930’s the world was a different place to what it is now‚ a lot of racial division and an economic crisis which would last well over a decade. Steinbeck uses real- life

What proportion of the muscle fibers in the muscle do you think were contracting to produce this maximal response? Muscle fibers act in response to isolated stimuli in an all or none fashion. However‚ a muscle organ‚ such as the gastrocnemius muscle‚ is composed of many individual muscle fibers. It is known that all of the fibers in a muscle do not have the same threshold and that a stimulus applied to

Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the
