flexibility, and core strength. ------------------------------------------------- Muscular strength is the ability to exert maximum force. Muscular endurance is the ability to repeat a lift many times. Improving muscular strength and endurance makes completing daily tasks easier. If anyone ever needed help moving furniture, or any other heavy objects, I will be able to help because of the strength training I’ve done. Also, muscular strength and endurance gives obvious advantages in the martial arts, such

Integumentary and Muscular systems As one person gets older and ages does their skin age also? If so what are some natural consequences of why this happens? Can you prevent having cancerous skin as you age? Skin thins as cell activity declines and as the network of elastic and collagen fibers supporting it decreases. Therefore this cell activity makes older people more likely to get hurt or injured along with skin infections such as moles that lead to cancer. Older people are more sensitive

important that anyone working with clients in the sport and exercise industry has a good understanding of how each of these systems works and copes with the stresses of exercise. This unit will explore the structure and the functions of the skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular and respiratory systems and how each of them is affected by exercise. It will also focus on the energy systems and their role in sport and exercise performance. Section One - The Structure and Function of The Skeletal System and

Lecture 11 objectives 1. Describe, contrast and explain the response of a single muscle fiber and a whole muscle to electrical stimulation - define the threshold stimulus and the all-or-none phenomenon. 2. Define a motor unit and describe how motor units are important in controlling the force and rate of muscle contraction. 3. Explain what is meant by recruitment of motor units. 4. Explain what is meant by muscle

1. As you increase voltage to the muscle describe how it responds to the increased stimulus. As the voltage was increased from threshold to maximum voltage, there was a greater force in the muscle contraction. Once the maximum voltage (2500 mv) was reached, even if there was an increase in voltage, the force of the muscle contraction remained the same. 2. What was the smallest voltage required to produce a contraction (the threshold voltage)? What proportion of the fibers in the muscle do
