As your body ages, your muscle mass decreases. So, being that your muscle protein rebuilds and repairs slower than a young person, this results in actual decreased physical strength. The recovery rate is directly related to the speed in which the body can grow new cells to repair itself.…
Our skeletal muscles make up 40-50% of our total mass and are essential for all humans to move, breath, and stand up straight. For the first 20 years of our lives and for those physically active after our muscles are continually growing. Satellite cells are responsible for this growth in our skeletal muscle and are referred to as muscle stem cells. When skeletal muscle cells are traumatized due to physical trauma or disease the regeneration process includes three general processes, destruction, regeneration and remodeling. What regulates these three processes? How are they signaled to initiate the cell cycle and what nutrients and systems do they require to carry out the processes…
It is difficult for most of the body builders to control their died when they are following a muscle building diet. The reason behind this is that think if they will eat a lot, this will magically contribute in bulking up. They may be right up to a certain degree but they are unaware that weight gain means adding fat also. This is not a healthy way of increasing muscle mass.…
Boys: release large amounts of androgen testosterone which leads to muscle growth, body and facial hair, and other male sex characteristics. Estrogen increases GH secretion adding to growth spurt and in combination with androgens stimulates gain in bone density…

The muscles of the abdomen, back and pelvis compose the body's core. These large muscles are responsible for balance and support since they are located near in the vicinity of your center of gravity. In order for it to function well, these muscles should be strengthened. When you have a strong core, you are able to lift objects with ease, walk or run without falling or stumbling, have a good posture and are generally able to hold your body up for long periods of time without tiring. A powerful core also allows you to perform your workouts longer, allowing you to gain more from your regimen. With a well-developed core, you can exercise without fear of injury or strain.…
Muscle building quickly is one goal a lot of body builders try to work hard on. As much as they also go for definition, shape and symmetry, these things are usually secondary for the goal of building muscle mass, at least for serious body builders. Most, if not all of them, adhere to the belief that having muscle mass is what separates a truly spectacular physique from the average person who just wants to flaunt an aesthetically nice and toned body.…
Strength training typically produces a combination of the two different types of hypertrophy: contraction against 80 to 90% of the one repetition maximum for 2–6 repetitions (reps) causes myofibrillated hypertrophy to dominate (as in powerlifters, olympic lifters and strength athletes), while several repetitions (generally 8 – 12 for bodybuilding or 12 or more for muscular endurance) against a sub-maximal load facilitates mainly sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (professional bodybuilders and endurance athletes).[citation needed] The first measurable effect is an increase in the neural drive stimulating muscle contraction. Within just a few days, an untrained individual can achieve measurable strength gains resulting from "learning" to use the muscle.[citation needed] As the muscle continues to receive increased demands, the synthetic machinery is upregulated. Although all the steps are not yet clear, this upregulation appears to begin with the ubiquitous second messenger system (including phospholipases, protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase, and others).[citation needed] These, in turn, activate the family of immediate-early genes, including c-fos, c-jun and myc. These genes appear to dictate the contractile protein gene response.[citation needed]…
Muscle power and muscle force are different terms and increasing the muscle force will not increase the muscle power if the speed of the action is decreased. The power is only increased with increasing force if velocity remains constant. The formula Power (P) = Force (F) * Velocity (V) is a basis for all martial arts when training focused on increasing both force and velocity to achieve bigger impact (power). It is important to consider that more muscular strength entails greater growth in muscle mass. Muscles with more size tend to physiologically drop in speed as a result of the need of greater recruitment of motor units for the muscle. Three types of muscle fibers provide different…

I’m willing to bet that if I went up to ten random people, that few to none of them would really know what an Athletic Trainer does. Most people are not educated about the role of Athletic Trainers because they are relatively new to the health care system. I believe that education is the key to making Athletic Training even more successful than it already is. For example, most of the club sports players at Towson have no idea that they can visit the Athletic Training clinic. I’ve heard the phrase “do no harm” so many times, but the possibility to do good decays exponentially when people don’t know what Athletic Trainers do and when those who should have access to this form of health care don’t know that they do. Though educating others about Athletic Trainers is one of my goals, it is not the main reason I want to become one. I want to be an Athletic Trainer because I…

Although many weight trainers have gone through great lengths to dispel the myths related to weight training for women, the negative connotations associated with it never really seem to go away. There’s a lot of controversy surrounding weight training and the effects it may cause on the female body. Despite this, weight training is actually really effective for transforming the female body in a great way. Listed below are some common myths associated around weight training for women.…
