“Aerobic endurance is the ability to sustain an aerobic effort over time, such as distance running or cycling” (Guth et al., 2013).Muscular endurance is one of the main fitness components that is very important in many sports, especially for those playing sports or activities that need to perform repetitive movement in a similar pattern for a prolonged period of time. Training for endurance can be simply any of the person’s favorite sports or activities such as walking, hiking, running, swimming and cycling. The maximum improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness are seen with exercise that involves large muscle groups (ACSM, 2000). Research by Morgan et al., 1971 suggests increased amount of mitochondria in human muscle fiber during endurance …show more content…
These muscles are responsible for maintaining upright posture, which means they require endurance. If the endurance and the strength of postural muscles improve, it means good posture throughout of all other daily activities.Postural muscles fatigue very slowly and respond to stress by shortening, while fast twitch fibres, phasic muscle, fatigue rapidly but generate much more power in contrast. Examples of phasic muscles are vastus latetalis, vastus medialis, gluteus maximus, rhomboids, middle and lower trapezius. Phasic muscles respond to stress by weakening (Rattray et al., …show more content…

The data collected during this experiment has shown that a relationship likely exists between the rate of muscle fatigue and the time spent performing vigorous exercise prior to the set of repetitive movements. This is likely due to a build-up of lactic acid and lactate as a result of anaerobic respiration occurring to provide energy for the muscle cell’s movement. As the pH of the cell would have been lowered, the enzymes necessary in the reactions would likely not be working in their optimum pH range, slowing the respiration reactions and providing an explanation to why the average number of repetitions decreased as the prior amount of exercise increased.
Submaximal and maximal exercise testing are two analytic methods that can be used to examine the cardiovascular, and cardiorespiratory fitness/health levels of the individual being examined. Submaximal testing is usually preferred over maximal mainly because the submaximal exam is more practical in a fitness/health environment. Both test require the individual being examined to perform controlled exercise on a(n) treadmill/ergometer until either steady state has consecutively been reached (submax), or the individual reaches their max (close to it). Being that both test are set to exceed time limits of more than 3 minutes we examine the use of the ATP-PC, Glycolytic, and Oxidative energy systems. Although a huge portion of the test involves the use of the oxidative energy system, we must remember that the three systems are co-occurrent.

Cellular respiration is an important function for the body to obtain energy (Citovsky, Lecture 18). There are two types of cellular respiration; aerobic conditions and anaerobic conditions. Aerobic conditions are the cellular respiration occurred with oxygen while anaerobic conditions are cellular respiration occurred without oxygen. The most common cellular respiration is aerobic conditions where oxygen were supplied for phosphorylation (Campbell et al., pg 177). In human body, anaerobic conditions occurred when muscle cells are overworked and oxygen is depleted before it could be replenished (Citovsky, Lecture 19). This is a common phenomenon during exercise. The accumulation and production of lactic acid from anaerobic cellular respiration has been always a cause of muscle sore from intense exercise (Campbell et al., pg. 179).
Touch is as essential to a healthy and happy life as eating right, getting proper sleep, and exercising. With the world growing more technological, the need for healthy human contact is more important than ever. Massage and body therapies are an age old healing refuge for us in this fast-paced, stressed-out world. The practice of massage therapy is rapidly growing in the United States. It has so much to offer and is becoming more widely accepted by doctors and the general public. Massage is touching another person by such movements as rubbing, kneading, pressing, rolling, slapping, and tapping. This type of therapy provides circulation of the blood and lymph, relaxation of muscles, relief from pain, restoration of metabolic balance, and many other benefits both physical and mental. There is much historical evidence to indicate that massage is one of the earliest remedies for pain relief and for the restoration of a healthy body. It is said to be the most natural and instinctive means of relieving pain and discomfort. Massage has proven to be an effective method for treating many conditions for thousands of years and it will continue to be used for thousands of years to come. Massage therapy is a great treatment for the body and soul.

Being a healthy person, the torment an individual may be unveiling to as a result of poor health is pacified. To keep the body up tight with no stress, while the body is in action the person needs to keep some Fitness vocabulary. These are Cardio Respiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength, Body Composition, Muscular Endurance, Reaction Time, Coordination and Speed. Cardio Respiratory-Ability of the body’s circulatory, cardiovascular endurance measures the oxygen received while working out. Muscular Strength- Amount of force a muscle can produce with a single effort, for example the achievement of lifting weights. Body Composition-Refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat of the body, a normal healthy body configuration has enough muscle tissues with a rate of low fat tissues. Muscular Endurance- the maximum force of a muscle and or group of ...
The Queens College/McArdle Step Test, the Rockport One Mile Walk Test, and the 1.5 Mile Run Test are three different field tests that were performed in this lab that were used to measure and predict an individual’s aerobic capacity. The measurement of aerobic capacity, or VO2 max, is a valid way to assess an individual’s cardiorespiratory fitness level. VO2 max refers to the maximal amount of oxygen an individual utilizes during intensive exercise. A higher VO2 max demonstrates a more efficient cardiorespiratory system as an individual with a higher VO2 max can sustain a higher intensity for a longer
In order to fully understand the impact and effect of overtraining, defining and establishing the difference of what overtraining is from other conditions, such as overreaching, is necessary. Overtraining is defined as the accumulation of both training and non-training stresses producing a long-term effect on the athlete’s performance capacity, with or without physical and psychological overtraining signs and symptoms in which recovery of the performance capacity will take weeks to months (Halson, 2004 p. 969). Overreaching, however, is defined by the accumulation of training and non-training stresses with a short-term effect on the a...

America is facing a continuing issue in today’s society when it comes to the health of its citizens. As time flies, multiple types of diseases or health issues are discovered, or the rate of the issue increases. Whether, an individual or a whole family is covered by their health insurance for any medical issues, it can still be expensive. They may need to sign up for the offered government health insurance. As discovered, those low income families with children who can't afford health insurance are more likely to sign up with Medicaid. However, when it comes to health issues, “most children are prescribed wrong medicines or they are prescribed antipsychotic medicines” when they really don’t need it (Wilson 2009). As

The benefit of physical fitness is to prevent obesity and encourage a healthy lifestyle thru training and focusing on the body’s compositions. Physical fitness is the measure of the body’s ability to go full capacity. If one doesn’t exercise ones body doesn’t work at its full potential all the time. Exercise can lower the risk of having major problems with ones body and relieve stress.
