Respiratory physiology

Hypertrophy means that the muscles size will increase. Hypertrophy happens when the amount contractile proteins (Actin & Myosin) increase inside the muscle cells so the way in which the can contract is far greater.the amount of fibres in the muscles remain the same mount. Statistically males have a greater chance in muscle bulk due to higher levels of the hormone testosterone. As it relates to skeletal muscle, hyperplasia defines muscle growth due to an increase in the quantity of muscle…

means that they stop contracting efficiently. The longer workouts rely on sustained aerobic respiration, but may still use anaerobic respiration for some with a more speedy finish. Athletes train their bodies to maximise the performance of their respiratory and circulatory system, but also to increase their tolerance to the lactic acid. After strenuous exercise has ended, the body responds by continuing to breathe deeply, even though the muscles no longer need the extra energy they did a few…

The first theme that emerged was associated with mobility. Many participants reported that if they did not stay active after their stroke, they would experience issues with using their limbs. Engaging in physical activity to keep their muscles toned and their body agile were a main concern. Participant - “Keep my muscles toned. I noticed after having a stroke if I did not use my limbs, my muscle tone would drop, like one arm would be a little larger than the other.” Participant - “Because…

Championship Cross Country Meet. I have been running everyday in order to train for the meet so my heart rate will not go up. Training also helps improve my lung capacity which can help improve my overall performance. Running can also help the respiratory system. The heart delivers oxygen to the muscles. The muscles work harder during exercise, like running, requiring the body to use more oxygen and therefore create more carbon dioxide. This increases the lung's oxygen capacity and strengthens…

Interval training burns three times the amount of body fat than conventional exercise. Interval training consists of random spurts with high-intensity movements followed by low-intensity movements. 20 to 30 minutes of High intensity interval training three times a week burns body fat, boost metabolism, improve endurance and speed along with cardiovascular health. Different forms of exercise, such as, running, walking, swimming, strength training and cycling could translate into interval…

During exercise, energy demands increase readily. Heart rate and blood pressure increase to pump blood throughout the body, providing ample amounts of oxygen to the muscle cells. As workload increases, the demand for oxygen increases. As a result, the body becomes depleted of most of its oxygen and energy capacity post-exercise. Muscle oxygenation is needed to increase after exercise to replenish energy loses and to repair the damaged muscle tissues. Glycolysis, the metabolic process of…

Why am I having this test? Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is a test that measures how well the kidneys are working. You may have this test as part of a routine blood test, or your health care provider may recommend this test if he or she thinks you may have a condition that affects your kidney function. Creatinine is a waste product of normal muscle activity (contraction). The kidneys filter (clear) creatinine from your blood and remove it from your body through urination. What is being tested?…

The fitness craze going on today has resulted in everyone trying to find the perfect cardio workout for them. Everyone needs to find that thing they feel passionate about so they can stay motivated in their workout routine. Some people job, some dance, some do aerobics, but whatever they do, it’s their thing. One cardio workout that has been wildly underutilized is cardio swimming. Cardiovascular workouts get your heart pumping, enhance your lung capacity, and make your blood move swiftly…

Chronic Kidney Disease Management Chronic kidney disease is defined as a reduced glomerular filtration rate, increased urinary albumin excretion, or both. GFR< 60mL/min/1.73 m2 for > 3 months. Diabetes mellitus is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease. Markers of damage include abnormalities in the blood or urine tests or imaging studies. The level of GFR, which is accepted as the best measure of the kidney’s ability to filter blood allows for the expression of kidney function…

Importance of Fitness: Aerobic & Anaerobic Training in soccer Jason Garcia Florida Atlantic University Professor Grace HSC2100: Health, Fitness for Life November 6, 2014 Abstract Utilizing the research of Stewart Flaherty (2013), Sarah R (2010) and Beth Mervyn, (1991), this paper reflects understanding of how aerobic and anaerobic training influences the maximum distance a soccer player is able to cover in a soccer game. Also identified, are the possible…
