Muscle contraction

usually after around 10seconds of using energy because this system fuels on carbohydrates from glucose or glycogen. The carbohydrates are broken down in the body to from glucose and excess glucose becomes glycogen which is stored in our liver and muscles. Lactic acid gets produced from insufficient oxygen breaking down glucose. During a soccer game, if a defender is required to run from the goal they are defending further down the field to assist in helping out midfield and forward players with…

athletes of any sports that requires sprinting. According to Verrall (2001), 20% of all missed games in Australian Rules Football is due to a hamstring injury. Hamstring injuries are classed into three; Grade I which is mild involves tearing of a few muscle fibres, grade II is moderate and involves a more severe tear and grade III is severe with a complete rupture of the musculotendinous unit ((Kilcoyne, Dickens, Keblish, Rue & Chronister, 2011). An athlete suspected with hamstring injuries…

Flexibility: Sports massage is used to relax overly tense muscles and provide additional flexibility, which is especially important when an individual has tight or damaged muscle tissue. This tight or damaged muscle tissue can be as a result of previous injuries or trauma which had a damaging effect on the muscles, tendons and ligaments; ultimately leading to inflexible tissues that is prone to future injury and pain. Tight or damaged muscles are usually deprived of blood…

usually doesn’t take longer than 2 minutes (if it did it would be pushing into muscular endurance.) This type of resistance training can lead to hypertrophy, resulting in larger, denser muscles as when you create micro-tears in the muscles, the body overcompensates by making new muscle fibres. This leads to stronger muscles, this is called adaptation. Adaptation is changing to your environment/ the stresses and strains placed upon the body. Also when you begin training your central nervous…

vertical plane with only the use of one's own muscles (Verma, C, (2015)). The motion of a vertical jump is used in many sports including volleyball, basketball and even football. In sports such as volleyball it could mean the difference between a perfect spike or a point loss. Heart rate is simple defined as the number of beats or the amount of contractions the heart completes per minute (n.p.. (2016)). The moment you begin any sort of exercise your skeletal muscles contract and “squeeze the…

with the best lighting possible in a sagittal view to allow the best view of the hip’s range of motion and angles. Results: Many people do not properly perform correct squat biomechanics often leading to injury. The prime movers of a squat are the muscles around the hips and knees, but it also includes the ankle foot and lower back. Image 1 demonstrates a comfortable stance; most people prefer their feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart with their toes pointed out at a slight angle…

of muscle groups since it involves many movements during a tennis completion. It takes a lot of dedication and determination to become a successful tennis player. The movement of muscle groups can get intense and if done incorrectly, it could destroy their chances of making a career out of the sport. Tennis also requires a high amount of agility, quick reflexes, flexibility and aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. Since there are so many techniques and movements in the sport, different muscles…

wide range of areas, like the mobility of the shoulder, force and momentum produced from the lower body during the pitching motion, angular acceleration and torque of the trunk during the motions of pitching and batting, and even the measurements of muscles, especially those of the rotator cuff, responsible for stability of the shoulder joint. As years go on, technology becomes more advanced, including in baseball and Exercise Science, and the use of that technology becomes more practical, which…
