Stress Relief Muscle tension often occurs when we are under mental stress. Stretching helps us to relax our muscles and our minds. Muscular Training Muscular Endurance With increased muscular endurance‚ you will be able to perform physical activities that require muscle movement over a longer period of time. Muscular Strength With increased muscular strength‚ you will be able to apply maximum force against a resistance (like lifting a couch) and be less fatigued. Muscle Mass and Basal Metabolism

First of all we have to defreniate between the musle stenght and muscles power. Musle stenght: Muscular strength defined as the ability of a muscle /group of muscles to contract with maximal force. Muscular strength describes how strong a muscle is or how much force it can exert. Exercise professionals often measure muscular strength by determining the maximum weight a person can lift at one time. There are 2 components to gain muscles strength; 1) The neural component (short-term). 2) The hypertrophic

------------------------------------------------- LIST OF MUSCLE INJURIES Properly functioning muscles perform only one duty‚ contraction. Muscles enable the body to sit‚ to move and to stand upright. They are attached by way of tendons to bones. Their contraction is controlled by electrical signals that can either be voluntary‚ such as when a person decides to stand up‚ or involuntary‚ as with the muscles that expand and contract the chest to control breathing. Muscles are made of thousands of muscle fibers. Knowing the types

FROG MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY 2) What was the smallest voltage required to produce max contraction? 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

and unfamiliar exercise‚ particularly which involves eccentric muscle actions can cause muscle damage and lead to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS)‚ which may impair performance. This is due to the high force features of eccentric contraction (Starbuck & Eston‚ 2011). It can also cause muscle shortening‚ swelling and loss of strength in the muscles. Injuries commonly occur during eccentric loading of the muscle; that is‚ when the muscle is contracting while it is lengthening. (LaStayo‚ et al.‚ 2003)
