Exercise 8 Simple Muscle Contraction • 3 Phases AB - lag phase or latent phase - (shortest) 0.00sec‚ usually less than 0.01sec - brief period that exists between the application of the stimulus and the start of contraction BC - contraction‚ 0.05sec - peak - shortening of the muscle occur CD - relaxation period‚ 0.05 sec - Occurs when Ca+ is transported back in the sarcoplasmic reticulum Single muscle contraction= 100vib/sec (tuning fork)= 0.10 sec 10vib (result) Neuromuscular junction - formed when

Background Information Muscles in the human body can be classified into three different types- cardiac‚ smooth and skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily‚ in things such walking and picking things up. The skeletal muscles are made up of bundles of muscle fibres (which are also known as myofibrils‚ as can be seen below). Each of the muscle fibres contain many sarcomeres‚ which is the most basic form of striated muscle tissue- they consist of two

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. The first tip that people should take notice

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
