Striated muscle

this semester. In my last paper, one of my goals was to be more conscious in my dancing; I wanted to be more of aware of the what, how and why of my dancing rather than just going through the motions and regurgitating what I’ve previously trained my muscles to do. Although I did not know it was called this, essentially, my…

This brings to the topic on why relieving stress is important to keep use in a healthy state of mind. There are dozens of way to relief stress and rely on the person itself.

However, muscle fibers have vital physical features that develop two distinct types of fibers. The fast twitch, also known as type ii fibers, and slow-twitch fibers or type i fibers (Bidle, 2016). Muscles are also put in “compartments” a muscle compartment is known as, “a group of functionally related muscles enclosed and separated from others by connective tissue fascia.” (Sullivan & Gan, 2015). These fascias are also known as intermuscular septa. The muscle compartments also hold…

Introduction: The roles of ATP and creatine in muscle contraction The store of ATP in muscle tissue is limited even though it is the immediate source of energy for everything we do including muscle contraction. The cellular ATP needs to be regenerated from ADP quickly in order to keep the contraction going otherwise the vertebrate muscle contraction will use up the present ATP in 1 second. Fortunately, most cell has a high rate of ATP “turnover” which means ATP can be swiftly synthesised from…

fat, muscle or bone we have in our bodies.. It helps people in in very different ways and/or in different sports (depending on the sport they play). For example, in rugby, it is best to have more fat and muscle to be able to push and defend youself in the game but it is also good to be small and thin to run faster and have an advantage on the other players. • Cardio-Respiratory Fitness This refers to the capacity of the circulatory and respiratory systems to give enough oxygen to our muscles…

Copra Pose: Extension of the Lumbar Spine: Also seen in Bridge Pose and Wheel Pose, Bow Pose, Pigeon Pose and Camel Pose. The degree of back bend will depend on the amount of space between each vertebra of the lumbar spine. The greater the space the greater the degree of back bend. Also the shape of the vertebra also plays a factor as some of the spinous process’ can be bent in angles that either restrict the angle of lumbar curve or increase it. There are other skeletal differences…

also less. Hence in HIIT more calories are consumed in HIIT training than in conventional workouts. The second benefit from HIIT is the after the rigorous workouts. As discussed in the previous section, HIIT causes micro cracks in proteins of our muscles. These cracks are repaired with amino acid fillings between them. This is a very costly process in terms of energy and burns lot of calories. In most cases this is a major cause for the depletion of fat layer due to workouts. Misconceptions…

produced by skeletal muscle that requires energy expenditure. It regulates moderate intensity, physical activity such as walking , cycling or participating in sports has significant benefits for health. It reduces the risk of CVD’s, diabetes, colon and breast cancer. According to Krause “physical activity involves bodily movement produced by the contraction of skeletal muscle that requires energy expenditure in excess of resting energy expenditure”. Movement produced by skleletal muscle requires…
