Document Summary
Improved by weight training: controlled and progressive training of musculoskeletal system, also resistance training. 3 basic muscles: voluntary skeletal muscle, movement of skeleton and generates same heat. Involuntary skeletal muscle t: only in heart, don"t have to think about moving, beating of heart. Involuntary smooth muscle: allows for internal functioning (gi track) Surrounded by a sheath that draws together at the end of a muscle into a tendon which attacks the muscle to the bond. Muscle contraction: there must be stimulation, prompted by nervous system along a motor nerve to particular skeletal muscle, 1 motor nerve will stimulate different skeletal fibers, a motor unit. How do my muscles work: 3 primary types of contraction. Isotonic - consistent muscle tension: concentric - muscle shortening. How can regular fitness resistance training improve my fitness and wellness: regular resistance training increases strength, neural improvements. Increases muscular endurance - efficiency of how well you can regenerate atp.
