How does weightlifting increase metabolism?
because it increase your lean muscle mass which will increase your metabolism as each pound of muscle has many chemical reaction occur within them
Increasing the number of active motor units is called?
Muscle recruitment
What are the 3 elements of fitness?
The five aspects of physical fitness are: 1. Aerobic Capacity (Cardio-vascular/respiratory capacity) 2. Body Composition (Ratio of body fat to lean body mass) 3. Muscle Strength 4. Muscle endurance 5. Muscle flexibility
What are two effects of Angiotensin II?
Angiotensin II has 4 effects: (overall effect is to increase Blood Pressure and Blood Volume) - 1. The adrenal cortex (Zona Glomerulosa) 2. Triple effect on the Nervous System 3. Supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus 4. Vasoconstricts smooth muscle - 1. There are Angiotensin II receptors in the Zona Glomerulosa - stimulates release of Aldosterone - 2. Direct effect on the sympathetic nervous system, increasing output. Second effect on postganglionic nerve endings inhibiting the reabsorption of Norepinephrine (i.e. increasing concentration of neurotransmitter - increasing stimulation). Third effect on reception of tissue to NE. - 3. Stimulates Supraoptic nucleus to release Anti Diuretic Hormone - 4. Direct effect on smooth muscle of a. venous system (increasing venous return, stroke volume and therefore contractility of heart muscle and cardiac output - increasing systolic blood pressure). b. arterial system (increasing resistance to blood flow, and increasing diastolic blood pressure).
When a muscle grows in size what name do we give to the muscle growth?
When muscles grow in size we call this hypertrophy.The word hypertrophy actually refers to an increase in the size of an organ due to an increase in the size of the cells, rather than to an increase in the number of cells. Other body tissues can actually undergo hypertrophy, such as the heart or kidneys (this is usually a bad thing). To differentiate, we usually refer to muscle growth as muscle hypertrophy, but the term is so often applied to muscle building that this is usually not necessary in lay discussions.Increases in size due to an increase in the number of cells (cell proliferation, by the way, is called hyperplasia.
To increase flexibility you must overload the muscle by?
stretching farther then normal
What does the body do automatically to increase the body temperature?
Shiver. The muscle action will raise the temperature.
How does massage therapy benefit muscles and mobility?
Reduction of muscle tension and stiffness; relief of muscle spasms; greater flexibility and range of motion; increase of the ease and efficiency of movement.
Why would an athlete use flexibility training?
He/she would use flexibility training to increase the flex a muscle can give. This would protect against cramps and strains in extreme position, because the muscle and ligaments would be use to the awkward and sometimes excessive strain.
Will increasing the intensity of an exercise will increase the strength of a muscle?
True.
Why do you shake if it is cold?
Muscle movement produces heat which will increase your body temperature.
Does Aerobic activity increases flexibility balance and muscle bulk?
does Aerobic increases flexibility, balance, and muscle bulk
When Ali is jogging why his heartbeat increase?
incrasing metabolism increasing pump cardiac muscle to pump the blood circulation
What are some ways a person can increase their flexibility?
There are 3 simple ways for someone to increase their flexibility. Stretching is the #1 and best way to loosen your muscles before a major workout at the gym to increase your flexibility. This keeps the muscles elastic and the blood flowing smoothly throughout your body. Yoga and Pilates constitute the #2 way to increase flexibility. Pilates, a 20th century physical system developed by Joseph Pilates, is a physical system popular in many countries around the world and is practiced by nearly 11 million people. Yoga is comprised of spiritual and mind exercises which help ease muscle tension and increases flexibility. Finally, the 3rd way to increase flexibility is to keep moving! Staying active increase metabolism and keeps you "loose."
Why is it important that summation not occur in heart muscle?
Basic muscle summation -an increase in the frequency with which a muscle is stimulated increases the strength of contraction. With increased stimuli to the heart if summation occurred the contractions would keep increasing.
What happens when summation occurs in cardiac muscle?
Basic muscle summation -an increase in the frequency with which a muscle is stimulated increases the strength of contraction. With increased stimuli to the heart if summation occurred the contractions would keep increasing.
What are some ways to increase muscle growth?
Muscle growth can happen is you do muscle specific exercise which target many reps of the same exercise per muscle. You can also try increasing the amount of protein in your diet, either with diet or with protein powders.
