LITERATURE REVIEW – MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
Muscular endurance is how muscles can keep generating force in prolonged and well (Sport training advisor, 2009). The muscle is ability to resist fatigue and maintain a given level of muscle tension work for a prolonged time period. Muscular endurance is highly related to muscular strength & anaerobic development. It can be classify as consistence or repetitive movements. Examples of exercise in muscular endurance is rowing, swimming and cycling. There are lots of benefits in performing muscular endurance activity such as improved muscle tone, decreased disease risk and also increased the energy.
In this literature review is look about disease related with muscle, patients that have suffering Duchenne muscular dystrophy or DMD for the short form. DMD, is progressive muscle weakness and wasting, disability and may lead to respiratory failure that will end up with death, that always occur and serious to childhood muscular dystrophy (Kinali, Manzur, & Muntoni, 2008).

First the researcher is using spirometer to measure pulmonary function by helium dilution technique and breathing pattern by sitting position. Second is to determine respiratory muscle strength, researcher used Validyne MP45 and a CD Carrier demodulator with three measurement repeated that less than 10% variability and record the highest value. The last one is inspiratory muscle endurance tests by time limit, the subject have to sustain breathing and inspiratory load without it fatigue. For home inspiratory muscle training also using the same threshold inspiratory valve that evaluate endurance. All subjects have to record the training at dairy card which is where they have to breathe 10 min twice in daily for 6 week at least. In this study the researcher using statistical analysis; Wilcoxon test, Mann-Whitney test and spearman
When exercising, the weight or stress you’ve produced to the muscles can create resistance and then contraction of the muscles can be drawn out. These contractions enable the muscles significantly increase in size. Along with the increase in size is the increase in strength as well. Repeated exercise, coupled with weight bearing activities, hypertrophy, and medical term for increase in muscle size, of the muscles will be evident.
Listener Relevance: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), is more common than people think and chances are sooner or later you will know of or see somebody affected by this disease.
Individuals who inherit this disease will have a rapid progression of symptoms. Walking becomes difficult and skeletal contractures and muscle atrophy follows. They also usually need wheelchairs by adolescence. Half of the receivers of the disease unfortunately develop some form of mental retardation and most never make it past their teenage years. Currently, options for a treatment of muscular dystrophy are limited. Physical therapy may slow down the progression of deformities. Such devices as wheel chairs, crutches, or secondary orthopedic limbs may permit mobility. There are also a few medications that can help relieve pain and stiffness in the muscles. The Muscular Dystrophy Association, the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Research and the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh helped fund a research project for the disease. The research, carried out by Johnny Huard, Ph.D., is looking fairly successful. Scientists are isolating special
Duchenne muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common out of nine types of muscular dystrophy. This genetic disorder causes progressive muscular weakness, and deterioration due to the lack of a protein called Dystrophin. This protein keeps the muscles in tack, so when it's missing, the muscles slowly break down. (MDA, 2015)
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a sex-linked disease, which is inherited in a recessive fashion (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2013). Over thirty similar genetic disorders exist (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015). All types of muscular dystrophy are considered to be a rare disorder (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015). Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is most common in children and causes muscle weakness and wasting, which commonly begins in the lower limbs (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015; National Human Genome Research Institute, 2013). The disease itself is caused by changes to the DMD gene, which is responsible for providing instructions regarding the creation of the dystrophin protein in one’s muscles (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015). This protein is responsible for protecting muscles from damage, and without it the cells of a person’s muscles deteriorate and symptoms of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy are exhibited (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015). The disease results from changes in the DMD gene, or other genetic changes in a child (Duchenne Foundation Australia, 2015).

Duchenne muscular dystrophy, classified as a genetic disorder, is marked by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is only one of the nine forms of muscular dystrophy; however, around half of the people diagnosed with muscular dystrophy have Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) refers to the muscle appearing poorly nourished because of degeneration, which leads to muscle weakness and lost of muscle mass. DMD is a disorder that is caused by genetic mutations in the dystrophin gene. Dystrophin is a muscle that connects the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Tidy, D. C. (2016, April 15). When nonsense mutation or frameshift mutation occurs in dystrophin, it results in no protein at all, which causes a severe form of DMD. A dystrophin gene has more base pairs and more exons in comparison to most genes, which means the dysophin gene has a higher chance for mistakes during meiosis. The disorder affects one in 5000 newborn males. Tidy, D. C. (2016, April 15). Males have one
Muscular dystrophy (MD) is a rare, progressive disease relating to the weakening of skeletal muscles. There are more than 30 types of muscular dystrophy that are further divided into nine categories. Duchenne MD is the most common and acute form of this condition that accounts for 50% of all the cases. Duchenne MD (DMD) is most prevalent in males, between the ages of 3 and 5 (Norwood, FL, et al. 2009). This X-linked disease occurs for 1 in every 3,500 males, which results in confinement to a wheelchair (Blake et al., 2002). Becker MD (BMD) is a less severe type of this condition. A study conducted in the United Kingdom by Bushby, Thambyayah and Gardner-Medwin, the incidence of Becker MD was estimated to be 1 in 18,450 males at birth
(Chad Haldeman-Englert, 2014) The symptoms usually appear before age 6 and may appear as early as infancy. One of the first noticeable symptom of this disease is the delay in motor milestones; many with Duchenne will take longer to independently stand, sit or walk than average child. (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2013) In toddlers, their enlarged calf muscles causing them to frequently fall over whilst moving. The child may experience occasional pain in the calves and may have some difficulty raising their arms. There is a steady decline in muscle strength between the ages of 6 and 11 years. Most boys are confined to a wheelchair by the age of 12. Muscular weakness and skeletal deformities often leads to respiratory issue. The diaphragm and other muscles that operates the lungs may start to weaken, making it hard to circulate fresh air into the body. The risk of serious respiratory infection is very high. Cardiomyopathy, a chronic disease of the heart muscle that is often a result of the DMD. Most boys will develop this heart disease in their early teens. One third of boys with DMD have some degree of learning disability. Majority of their learning problems occurs in focusing, verbal learning and memorising, and personal interaction. (The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), 2016) Some of the symptoms, such as respiratory infection and cardiomyopathy are common causes of death in DMD
Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive genetic disorder that leads to muscle atrophy and eventually death. Diagnosing DMD consists of blood tests, genetic testing, and muscle biopsies. Signs and symptoms begin presenting in toddlers with DMD and progressively worsen throughout life. There is no cure for DMD, and will cause terminal cardiopulmonary complications. Medical interventions consist of corticosteroid treatment, respiratory management, cardiac management, psychological management, and physical therapy interventions.
Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is one of the most common forms over childhood muscular dystrophy and primarily affects boys; in total there are 30 different forms of muscular dystrophy 50% being duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (NIH, 2013). This type of muscular dystrophy usually begins to show symptoms around the pre-school age and affects the lower extremities first. By the age of twelve, most boys are in a wheelchair as the trunk muscles being to weaken leading to scoliosis and kyphosis. Eventually the diaphragm begins to weaken and young men with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy will need assistance with breathing through the use of a ventilator (Naff, C. 2012). According to the 1st Edition of Perspectives on Disease and Disorders Muscular Dystrophy by the age of eighteen most young men would have experienced a cardio myopathy (weakening or the heart muscle) (Naff, C. 2012). Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a chromosome X-linked and genetically inherited neuromuscular disease. The New England Journal of Medicine reports that Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy affects 1 in 3500 new born baby boys. Duchenne’s
One major problem associated with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the prevalence of fibrosis that occurs in the skeletal muscles, heart, and lungs of these patients. In the heart and lungs, fibrosis inhibits the body’s ability to perform cardiopulmonary or respiratory function, respectively. These conditions typically result in death if no emergency medical attention is given. Fibrosis can also present as contractures in the skeletal muscle fibers, which will usually result in the loss of skeletal muscular function and the need for surgery.
Muscular endurance is very important for people playing sports and who have to sustain an activity for long periods of time. Muscular endurance is determined by how well your slow twitch muscle fibers are developed. In case your wondering what slow twitch muscle fibers are, I will explain. There are generally two types of muscle fibers in your body, slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch muscle fibers cannot exert as much force as fast twitch, but can sustain an effort over a much greater period of time. Fast twitch muscle fibers can exert a great amount of force but for a very limited amount of time. Therefore, slow twitch equals endurance, while fast twitch equals strength.
Range of movement- This is linked to muscle pliability as the warmer the muscles get, the better the elasticity which enable the body to move easier and have a better range of movement around a joint. Exercise increases the production of synovial fluid at a joint, therefore keeps the joints lubricated and makes them suppler. Consequently, allowing a larger range of movement throughout the body. For example if an individual went on the cross trainer for 10 minutes and then went on to the rowing machine; they would have an increased range of movement at their joints, making it easier to exercise on that machine due to the muscles already being warmed up.
