...nutrition, your body can experience beneficial results that out-compete any fancy pill or expensive surgical intervention. It's true! And, to take it even a step further, the timing of your nutrition with correct food choices will turn your body into an energetic, elated, lean, fat-burning machine! And who doesn't want that? We sure do! Not that being lean means you'll be automatically happier, but, if you eat the right foods at the right times, you'll feel less grumpy, you'll have more energy to exercise hard the next time you hit the gym, and you'll be pleasant for others to be around! Plus, you'll look good too! You probably already know that eating small, balanced meals every few hours is one of the keys to a healthy physique, but that's not what we're talking about here. In this special report, we're going to show you how eating the right foods at the right times following your workout will make a huge difference in how you feel when you're working out, and how you feel for the 23 hours that you're not working out. Eating correctly after your workout will also help you be able to work out hard the next time you exercise, build more lean muscle, and improve your overall health. Isn't that almost too good to be true? But really it's not! Still, for some reason, eating correctly after your workout has gotten lost in the vast sea of nutrition information that is on our internet, in textbooks and in other "expert" nutrition reports. So, right here, right now, we're...

...react upon receiving a neurological signal to do so. Why? Slow-twitch fiber has a lower amount of stored calcium. In contrast, fast-twitch muscle fibers have a much quicker contraction response time, due to higher levels of calcium and the pres- ence of creatine phosphate, a nitrogenous compound that is the immediate source of energy used by the muscle in the first few seconds of movement. Common activities that depend on fast-twitch fibers include sprinting, volleyball, basketball, and hockey, which require this fiber for explosive and powerful movements. THE BODY’S ENERGY SYSTEMS Before we talk further about muscle physiology, it is time to discuss the body’s en- ergy systems. These energy systems or pathways break down food into a...

...allergies result from airborne substances that are present all-year-round such as house dust. This causes congestion, an itchy nose that may also run, and itchy mouth and throat. House dust may contain mould and fungal spores, fibres of fabric, animal dander, dust mites, and bits of insects. Cockroach particles are often the cause of allergic reactions. Because more time is spent indoors during cold times of the year, allergic reactions are likely to be more severe in the winter. Perennial allergies usually cause allergic rhinitis symptoms but rarely allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis may develop due to substances being introduced into the eye, such as eye drops or cream used to treat eye disorders, cosmetics such as eyeliner, mascara or face powder, and hair dye. The cleaning solutions used to clean contact lenses may cause reactions. Antihistamines are given to relieve the symptoms, but the person may have to take them 12 months of the year. Anaphylactic shock is the most extreme form of reaction and it can be fatal in not treated medically immediately. Anaphylaxis develops suddenly, the face, lips, tongue and airways start to swell, cutting off respiration. Anxiety, tightness in the chest and difficulty breathing are also present. Blood vessels begin to dilate (widen) causing a severe drop in blood pressure, this may lead to unconsciousness and shock. What to do if a client, or someone near you, suffers an allergic reaction: For mild to moderate reactions: ...

...Musculoskeletal response to exercise Your skeletal system responds to acute exercise just like your muscles. High intensity physical activity can reduce the risk of bone loss. Regular exercise may provide long-term benefits, especially for skeletal systems in children and young adults. http://www.livestrong.com/article/359456-your-skeletal-systems-response-to-exercise/ Your skeletal system responds to exercise by taking in more calcium. Osteoblasts are cells that bring calcium into bones, they slow down and transport less calcium from your blood to your bones during inactivity, but when exercising it has the opposite effect and increases osteoblastic activity. Exercise that require force through a particular bone strengthens that bone. Myoglobin releases its stored oxygen to use in aerobic respiration. During exercise oxygen is diffused into the muscles from the capillaries more quickly due to the decreased oxygen concentration in the muscles. Exercise helps you increase the density and strength of your bones this enables us to maintain muscle strength, coordination, and balance, which helps to prevent falls and related fractures later in life. Muscles and tendons becomes more pliable when they are warm, this helps reduce the risk of injury, and this is because during acute exercise the muscles contract quicker. These fast muscle contractions generate heat, which makes the muscles more pliable this increases the range of movements in your joints. Synovial fluid is secreted as a result...

...Chemistry 306 Dr. Mark Lee 05/12/2015 Abstract In common metabolic biochemistry human burns fuel (food) and generate energy. This energy is responsible off doing all types of processes of her body. Human body work in a very complex way when there is a demand on working muscles. During running so many changes are noticeable in human body. Those changes are faster heartbeat, sweating, hurting of muscles and very fast and deep breathing. These things consider normal doing marathon run. In order for runners to run marathon they have to train their body with hours of training. These trainings prepare their different body areas for example heart, lungs and red blood cells. Red blood cells are train so they can release maximum oxygen for muscle use during marathon run. Before the actual race to start runners brain prepared their body for “flight or fight” process. This is done by releasing epinephrine which is also known as Adrenaline. The chemical formula of adrenaline is C9H13NO3. With the release of epinephrine runner’s body get ready for action. Muscles are used in any type of exercise according to Shuo Qing, “during running muscles are working to accelerate body and keep it moving”. Muscles generate force by using energy. In human body, muscle work as an electric motors. They use the chemical called adenosine dry phosphate (ATP) for the source of energy. Three different types of food Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins can be used to generate ATP. But mostly Carbohydrates in...

...3 Basic Types of Muscle * 1. Skeletal muscle – is voluntary muscle which allows movement of the skeleton and produces body heat. There are two types of skeletal muscle fiber. * Slow –twitch muscle fiber (type I) are oxygen-dependent , produces low force, are slow to fatigue and can contract for longer periods of time. * Fast-twitch muscle fiber (type II) –produces large amounts of force, contract rapidly, are not oxygen dependent but are fast to fatigue. * 2. Cardiac muscle tissue – involuntary muscle tissue which exists only in the heart and facilitates the pumping of the blood through the body. * 3. Smooth muscle tissue – involuntary muscle tissue that lines some of the internal organs, blood vessels and moves food through the stomach and intestines. Connective tissue * Tendons – Each skeletal muscle is surrounded by a sheet of connective tissue that draws together at the ends of the muscle forming tendons. Tendons attach muscles to bones. * Ligaments – Fibrous, connective tissue that connects bone to bone Muscle structure * Within each skeletal muscle there are individual muscle cells called muscle fibers which are connected in bundles. Each muscle fiber extends the length of the muscle. Within each muscle fiber are smaller units called myofibrils. Each myofibril consists of many sarcomeres. The sarcomeres contain proteins called actin and myosin. Sarcomeres are responsible for muscle contraction. The actin and myosin filaments...

...BCAA - Build muscles with amino acid complex BCAA BCAA BC what? There are few who are fully aware of what this acronym actually stands for, even though it is so important for those who want to increase performance with supplements. BCAA is the abbreviation of the English term Branched chained amino acids which in Swedish translates to branched chain amino acids . This is a group of three essential amino acids that have been named after their chemical structure. Basically, one could say that an amino acid is a legobit and there are a variety of amino acids which are the building blocks the body uses to build proteins and ultimately what they colloquially call for muscles. Some amino acids, the body can produce on their own, while others must be supplied by the diet. They are called essential amino acids because they are absolutely essential for us to be able to function and because the body with the help of these twenty Lego pieces to build other amino acids and a variety of other substances needed to keep the processes and organs that keep us alive . What are branched chain...

The athlete tends to grab the easiest on the go food for their meal; little do they know that this lack of nutritious food can affect their performance. Student athletes need regular well balanced meals and snacks to maintain the high energy demands of training, competition and the rigor of an academic program (Ziegler et al 2005) showed how the increased competitiveness of the sport raises concerns about the health of these athletes .For example nutrient intake was found to possibly be influenced by factors like; lack of time, hectic training schedule and increased emphasis on physical features, such as leanness of and body image. An increased interest and availability of nutritional information seems to be on the rise ,however, it’s unclear if athletes are more knowledgeable about the role of nutrition on athletic performance .Professionals can help...

...would not have a nervous system or muscles. A person’s body is made up of trillions of cells. Animal-like cells differ from plant-like cells. An animal-like cell could be a tiny microorganism or a nerve cell. Plant cells differ because they have protective structures with walls. Each organism has its own unique cell. People have hundreds of cells that are used to do different things in our bodies. All cells are surrounded by a membrane. Animals, people and insects have a nervous system. Some of the systems are more complex than others. A person’s nervous system consists of two parts: The central and the peripheral. The central nervous system is your spinal cord and your brain. The peripheral system makes up your organs, body and muscles. The reason people can react or take action is directly related to our nervous system. How people and animals smell, see and taste are related to our nervous system. Some of the things our nervous system does we don’t even think about. All of the systems in our bodies take direction from our nervous system. If we are eating our body starts to digest our food without us doing anything. That has to do with our nervous system and we have no idea it is even going on. Muscles in our body are made up of three kinds of tissue: Smooth, cardiac and voluntary. Each type of tissue has a different part of the body it is in. The smooth tissue is in our organs, the cardiac is in our heart, and the voluntary is the muscle that helps us move. We...

...Building muscle mass is not just about what you do in the gym, it is also about WHAT, HOW OFTEN and WHEN you eat. Find out more about proper muscle building nutrition by reading this article on the best way to approach your muscle building diet. Having the right nutrition plan is an important piece of the muscle mass building puzzle. To get big you need to consume more calories than you burn. Then, with the proper workout plan the excess calories will then be molded into quality muscle mass. Start with consuming around 1.5 grams of protein for each ONE pound of body weight. As you get bigger and stronger you will need to up the intake to 1.8 grams because of increased demands and energy expenditure as a result of a bigger physique. Without taking the proper amount of protein you cannot achieve muscle growth because protein builds and rebuilds muscle tissue....

...system's activity was most affected by exercise? Explain why you think this was the case. A 1) The Human body system's activity that was most affected by exercise was the circulatory system. It was the circulatory system because it was the system that increased the most after exercise. I think this is the case because it had to work the most and it had the most effect on the body. Q 2) Which human body system's activity was least affected by exercise? Explain why you think this is the case. A 2) The human body system's activity that was least affected by exercise was the muscular system. It was the muscular system because it only increased by 9% after exercise. I think this is the case because it didn't have a lasting effect on the body. Q 3) On a separate sheet of paper, please type an essay fully explaining how all of the following concepts are related to each other. Include the necessary equations, name any body systems involved. Effectively, create a story linking all of these terms together. • amount of glucose usage • oxygen intake () • heart rate () • rate of breathing () • number of repetitions of a certain muscular-moving exercise • muscle cramping • rate of ATP production () • carbon Dioxide output () A 3) When you Exercise you notice several things about your body.

...1. Define the three energy pathways. For each pathway, identify two exercises that utilize the pathway. If you were training to run a marathon, which pathway would be the focal point of your training? What types of activities would you incorporate into your marathon training and why? How will an understanding of energy pathways help you in your future training endeavors? Three different metabolic energy systems power your workouts — and your day. Here’s how each one works, and how to make the most of them all. Most of us understand our bodies about as well as we understand our cars. We know we’re supposed to take them out for a spin once in a while, and keep them well fueled. But when it comes to grasping precisely how that fuel gets converted into motion — well, we’re not entirely sure. So let’s take a look under the hood, shall we? Like a hybrid engine, your body has several ways of turning the stuff you eat into the stuff you do. All of these metabolic energy systems are switched on during physical activity, but each plays a different role depending on available energy and the specific demands of the task. Each burns a particular type of fuel at a particular rate — thereby affecting fat loss and muscle gain in a particular way. * The adenosine triphosphate–creatine phosphate (ATP-CP) system, or phosphagen system, supports very brief, high-intensity activities like a single-effort vertical jump. * The glycolytic system provides energy for activities of slightly...
