Muscular dystrophy

If you are having trouble gaining muscle, well no worries with the help of Marina Krakovsky’s article, “The Secrets of Self-Improvement”, and comparing it to other writers with their own articles. For some gaining muscle doesn’t come easy. There are different methods to gain muscle. Though Krakovsky can enlighten great methods to oneself looking to gain mass and muscle. In the article, “The Secrets of Self-Improvement,” Marina Krakovsky gives a variety of methods to improve and maintain…

many different ways, one way is that they have similar muscular systems. We humans have some similar muscles as dogs like, gluteal muscle, biceps, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, deltoid, and the external oblique. The different muscles are used by dogs and humans in pretty much the same sense so they can run, walk, and jump. The dog’s muscular system is one of the biggest systems in their body. There are two important functions of the muscular system in a dog. One is to create movements of the…

Muscle tissue is one of the four tissues types that exist in the human body. There are three different muscle tissues, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle tissue cells are long, striated, and have many nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue, just like the skeletal is also in striations. These cells are short and branched. Unlike, the skeletal muscle tissue these cells die single nucleated. They are connected by intercalated discs. Smooth muscle tissue is not striated. Its Cells are short and…

Every athlete has a drive to do better then his or her opponent. Competition is what drives athletes to enhance their practice and conquer the highest place on the podium. Many athletes try out different diets, supplements, and training techniques to improve their performance. The use of nutritional ergogenic aid in the sports industry is very well known for improving performance. Most ergogenic aids affect the metabolism and the central nervous system to reduce body fat content and stimulate…

Calf strains are a very well known problem for runners, soccer and basketball players, gymnasts, and dancers, and even more common in athletes who are advancing in age. The calf muscle consists of nine different muscles; the gastrocnemius, soleus, and plantaris muscles attach onto the heel bone and they all work together to produce the upward and downward motion of the foot (calf raise). The other six muscles cause knee, toe, and foot movements in different directions, however those muscles are…

Injury Details Hamstring injuries comprise a significant amount of acute musculoskeletal injuries arising during sporting activities (Canale et al, 1981). Usually, athletics, football and rugby athletes are notably prone to hamstring injuries due to the sprinting demands of their sport. It is, however, a major concern that one-third of hamstring injuries will recur, possibly during the first two weeks post return to activity. A premature return to play and/or a deficient rehabilitation…

The ability for muscles to contract and shorten to produce movement lies within its structure at a cellular level. The muscle organ is surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue called the epimysium, continuous to the perimysium, which separates the organ into small bundles called fascicles. Each fascicle can be further separated into muscle fibers by the endomysium. The plasma membrane of an individual muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma, which plays a major role in generating an action along…

From genetics to snug shoes, the cause of a hammertoe varies. Though painful, what remains certain is early detection as the key to a speedy recovery. A hammertoe is that unusual bend in your third, fourth, or little toe. With time, it can worsen, but by recognizing the issue early on, you can lessen the likelihood of surgery. We understand — you want to get back on your feet sooner than later. That's why Dr. Cox has outlined his pro-tips for healing, so you can return to life, uninterrupted.…

Movement of the skeleton is stimulated by the contraction of striated muscle also known as skeletal muscle. Because it is attached to the bones and skin it is responsible for the motion of the body and limbs, thus making it controlled voluntarily. There are three layers of connective tissue in the skeletal muscle known as epimysium which surrounds the entire muscle, perimysium which surrounds muscle fibers known as fascicles, and endomysium which contains capillaries and nerve fibers. Cardiac…

you ask people their opinion on what the best rep range is for gaining muscle mass and what is the best for leaning out, I would be willing to bet that over 90 percent of the answers you receive would be: low reps for mass and high reps for cutting. If you've been in the gym mix for any length of time, you've probably heard the same. The problem is that this philosophy isn't necessarily accurate. Let's first tackle gaining muscle mass. If you were to lift heavy weights and perform low reps, you…
