Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or Bechterew’s disease, is an inflammatory disease that can cause the vertebrae in the spine to fuse together. The fusing that takes place will make the spine less flexible and can lead to a curvature of the spine culminating in a stood posture. This disease predominantly affects males in their teens 20s, and is less common in women. Early signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis may include pain and stiffness in the neck, lower back, and hips. These signs and…
function, muscle movement, and many other body processes. About 98% of the body’s L-carnitine stores are found in your muscles, along with trace amounts in the liver and blood. Which cases do we need L-carnitine? • Obesity: it acts as a transporter to transfer long chain fatty acids into the cell to be oxidized to produce energy, it is safe in diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and females with polycystic ovarian syndrome, its dose ranges from 500 to 2000 mg/day. • Body building: increases muscle…
this gene in myocardial tissue is SERCA2a, and it is responsible for removing around 75% of the Ca2+ ions from the cytosol of muscle cells in the heart. SERCA2a acts like a pump that sits on the edge of the sarcoplasmic reticulum and protrudes out into the cytoplasm of the cell (Hajjar & Njeim, 2010). The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is an organelle that is unique to muscle cells. Its primary purpose is the storage, release, and reuptake of Ca2+ ions from the cell’s cytosol, and this in turn…
Overall exercise psychology is an application of psychology to promote, maintain, enhance, and explain parts of exercise. Although there are technically two separate forms of exercise, physical activity and exercise.

The uptake of oxygen into muscles is what facilitates muscle contraction. Oxygen that is obtained through breathing by the lungs is transported to the rest of the body, as well as the heart by means of haemoglobin. The rate of liberation of oxygen from haemoglobin has an effect on the quantity of oxygen available in the muscles for a muscle contraction to ensue. The higher the oxygen concentration in the muscle the greater the force of muscle contraction. Temperature has an effect on the…
Marfan syndrome is a strange disease. It is genetic, and it is very rare. Sadly, it makes leading a normal life harder. On the plus side it can be treated. Marfan syndrome is a disease that affects your connective tissue. Organs and eyes are not held in the correct position and fingers, toes, arms, and legs seem too long for their body.

exercise programs, to providing education on how to prevent injuries. Sport physiotherapists differ from normal physiotherapists as the athletes they attend to perform at a high level and constantly place extreme demand on their bodies- including their muscles, bones and joints. Also, sports physiotherapists undertake further studies specifically in the management of sports injuries. The skills of a sports physiotherapist would…
5 minutes recording the breathes every minute. Introduction: The respiratory system responds to the demand of exercise by making us breathe faster as the muscles in our body require more energy when put under more physical exercise. When humans breathe the body converts oxygen in the air into energy, which is then transported to the muscles by red blood cells, which allows us to exercise for a longer period of time. The respiratory system recovers after exercise by making us continue to…
