Why does your back hurt after working out?

Muscle aches are due to lactic acid build-up. Note that lactic acid will be removed quickly from the body as one rests.

Muscle soreness lasting a few days:

It was previously known to be due to lactic acid build up. It is now known that the cause of soreness is due to the damage of muscle fibers and connective tissue. The muscle fibers will then repair itself by increasing the myofibril count and the size of the myofibrils.This causes an increase in the size of our muscles.

When you stop working out do you lose all of the muscle gained?

If your asking if the body becomes weak if you stop working after for a long period of time say 3 months then yes you lose the muscle. If you mean why do my muscles hurt the next day then no. You just have to give your muscles a chance to recover and you will be a little stronger.

How does exercise affect you mentally?

Why do you get short of breath in a race?

You can move because your muscles respire, this involves using glucose and oxygen and turning it into water and energy. The more you move your muscles, the more oxygen you need.

Oxygen has to go into the lungs then pass into the bloodstream to get to all your muscles. This process is limited so when you use your muscles a lot when running you begin to run out of oxygen. Your body compensates by performing more anaerobic respiration, which doesn't need oxygen. This produces lactic acid but allows you to keep running. The lack of oxygen is called oxygen debt, the faster and the more you run, the more oxygen debt builds up.

When you stop running there is still all that lactic acid in your bloodstream and in your muscles. You need to keep breathing so your body can neutralise that acid otherwise your muscles would end up damaged.

How does smoking affect weight lifting?

Smoking constricts your blood vessels which affect their ability to transport oxygen and other molecules (glucose) to your muscles which will effect their ability to contract. Also smoking makes it harder for your lungs to absorb oxygen.

Explain the adaptation of glycogen sparing during exercise?

GLYCOGEN is a stored form of energy produced in the liver Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for GLUCOSE when needed by the body for physical activity etc. GlUCOSE is our bodys primary scource of energy. Marathon runners often experience whats known as 'glycogen debt' where around the 20th mile or so, the runner or athletes glycogen stores are depleted due to all the running etc ,therfore little or no more GLUCOSE can be produced to provide instant energy and at this point, the athlete is proper knackered and usually has to stop. BOW!!!

People with McArdle's disease are unable to break glycogen down into glucose, and experience this glycogen debt within 10-30 seconds of moderate physical activity such as jogging or walking up stairs. During glycogen debt, the cell is deprived of an abundant source of glucose, which it cannot metabolize to form ATP for muscular contraction, and as a result, the muscle simply stops responding and fails.

What good games can you play on a trampoline?

Crack the Egg The child who is the "egg" sits in the middle of the tramp and holds their knees close to their chest with both arms. The other children jump and try to make the "egg" let go of their legs.

Snake Have one person move a jump rope back and forth over the surface of the trampoline. The other children try to jump over the jump rope without it touching them. Whoever gets touched becomes the person who moves the jump rope.

Sprinkler Fun Put a sprinkler under the center of the trampoline; turn it up so the water just touches the surface of the trampoline. Have your kids put on their bathing suits and sunscreen and enjoy getting wet.

Add-on All of the children sit on the pad in a row. The first child does a trick on the trampoline. This could be as simple as jumping three times, splitting their legs in the air, or more difficult such as a flip. You could not allow flips if all those participating cannot do them.

The second child does the first child's trick, and then adds one of his or her own. The third child does the first and second trick and then adds his or her own. This continues down the line with each child adding a trick.

If a child forgets a trick or the order, they are out. The game continues until all but one child is out.

Seat Bounce Each child has to follow the pattern of bounce, seat drop (on their bottom), bounce, seat drop, etc. The first person to mess up the pattern loses the game.

Follow the Leader This game is great for young children. One person is the leader and everyone else has to copy what they do.

Bounce-A-Lot Have contests to see who can do the most seat drops in a row. OR Start with one seat drop, jump, then two seat drops, jump, then three seat drops, jump, and see if anyone can get to ten seat drops in a row.

How many calories do you burn swimming 1.5 miles?

It really depends on how fast you swim, and how much you weigh. As a general example, a 110 lb person burns around 7.7 calories/minute swimming at a 50/yard per minute pace. There are 1760 yards in a mile, 1650 yards in an official swim mile. So our 110 pounder will burn 271 calories at the above mentioned pace. Meanwhile, a larger swimmer, say 200 lbs at the same pace will burn 14.2 calories/minute. This equates to around 500 calories burned in the mile.

Explain why a good exercise program should include both aerobic and resistance training?

Aerobic exercise is an important form of exercise that utilizes the use of the heart and lungs. It is a low intensity exercise, so it can be performed for prolonged periods of time without exhaustion or risk of injury, which is especially good for older individuals. It also can be used for fat loss. On the other hand, anaerobic exercise has more benefits for those who are capable of high intensity exercise and for those with interests in increasing cardiovascular health and athletic abilities. Anaerobic exercise stresses both the cardiovascular system and muscular system. Benefits include: a decrease in body fat, an increase in cardiovascular function, speed, power, and agility. Yet, anaerobic exercise such as high intensity interval exercise should not be over performed because it stresses the body, which could lead to overtraining and injury. Anaerobic and aerobic exercise should be used in moderation.
