Muscle Metabolism and Physiological Responses to Exercise

Muscle Metabolism and Energy Systems

Glycolysis

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose to pyruvate under anaerobic conditions.

Energy Systems in High-Intensity, Short-Duration Exercise (10-15 seconds)

The dominant energy system in high-intensity, short-duration exercise is the phosphocreatine system, where phosphocreatine is used to rapidly form ATP.

Creatine kinase activity is stimulated by high levels of ADP.

Muscle Adaptations

Adaptations to exercise occur in both structural and neurological factors.

Human Body Composition: Analysis, Techniques, and Evolutionary Diet

Body Composition

  • It is the study of the parts of a whole, in this case, the human body (Rodriguez C. 1992).
  • Body analysis allows us to quantify the body’s components.
  • Body weight consists of many components or proportions that vary among individuals.
  • With the introduction of the microscope in the seventeenth century, researchers could penetrate tissues and cells. Analysis of tissues from biopsies has contributed significantly to our understanding of physiology and human metabolism.
  • Early studies on body

Psychosomatic Disorders: Types, Symptoms, and Psychological Factors

Psychosomatic disorders are characterized by psychological conflict significantly altering somatic functions. It can be acute or chronic and, through mechanisms of repression and conversion, are translated into the body.

  • Amenorrhea
  • Dysmenorrhea

Respiratory

  • Asthma

Cardiovascular

  • Tachycardia
  • Hypertension

Human Joints: Types, Movements, and Major Articulations

Joints

Joints are classified based on their mobility:

  • Synarthrosis: Joints with no mobility.
  • Amphiarthrosis: Joints with minimal range of motion.
  • Diarthrosis: Joints allowing extensive movements.

Key elements of bone joints include:

  1. Joint Capsule: Provides stability.
  2. Synovial Membrane: Lubricates articular cartilage.
  3. Articular Cartilage: Ensures smooth sliding and prevents bone erosion.
  4. Articular Cavity: Space between articular surfaces.
  5. Meniscus: Improves bone end fit and increases contact surface.
  6. Ligaments:

Language Re-education and Social Integration for Special Needs

ITEM 6: Re-education of Language

1. Processor Type Disorder

  • Dysphasia: Alteration in the expression of spoken language.
  • Dysarthria: Disturbance caused by brain injury.
  • Aphasia: Neurological disorder characterized by deficiency or absence of the role of language in areas of brain injury.
  • Diglossia: Speech disorder, where sound is slurred due to organic causes.
  • Dislalia and Stuttering

Force Training Methods: A Complete Guide

Force: A Comprehensive Guide

Definition

Physics: F = M x A

Physiological: A muscle’s ability to produce force when activated.

Sports: Maximum tension manifested by a muscle at a given time.

Classification of Force

According to Carlo Vittori (1990) and M. VĂ©lez (1991), force is classified based on the causes and mechanisms of muscle contraction. These classifications include:

  • Active Demonstration of Force
  • Reactive Power Manifestation

Active Demonstration of Force

Active force is produced by a simple cycle
