My Exercise On My Muscle Strength

Weight training is an important essential in life, but of course it’s not really needed. Weight training is a series of exercises that use weights for resistance. After lifting weights people feel different, like they have achieved greatness. Part of weight training is eating right and being healthy. In order to see progress good rest is required, or all the work done in the weight room was all for nothing.

We need to know the normal range of movement of the muscles and joints so when moving, handling and positioning a person we know the limits of each limb. We need to take into consideration other factors that may inhibit a person’s movements as:

My concerns of doing Muscular endurance is not doing enough or do so much that the next day I am in pain. I like doing sit-ups because I can work on my core. Push-ups help me tone my biceps. My goal is to increase the amount of sit-ups and push-ups I do during this class and continue this goal.

Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), sometimes called the Stone Man Disease, is a progressive disease that impairs movement of the muscles and joints by gradually turning them into bone. This disease can be diagnosed at a young age, but unfortunately has no known cure or treatment at this time. FOP is a fatal disease that doesn’t offer its victims a very good quality of life.

The purpose of this experiment was to identify which flexibility measurement tests correlate with the sit-and-reach and modified sit-and-reach tests. In more recent studies, statistics have shown that both hip flexion test results and shoulder extension test results were directly correlated to modified sit-and-reach test results (Mayorga-Vega, Merino-Marban, and Viciana, 2014). The data gathered for the sample

For muscle strength and endurance my primary focus was seeing improvements in my core and leg strength. With my goals being written before even the idea of surgery. I knew there would be no programs written around enhancing my upper strength. Due to the limitations of my elbow. With that being said I do believe that I obtained my goal in this area for the eight week program. My leg press max increase along with the number of sit-ups I was able to complete. I can award this success to taking it easy and moving at my own pace. Rheumatoid Arthritis can often be very difficult to manage due to random flares that can last hours or even days. Over working that joint during excessive movements can also aid into those flares. By working within my own

Prior to commencing exercise our patient is to complete a warm up consisting of low intensity exercise (approximately 40% of heart rate max), for between 7 and 10 minutes, this is followed by a series of dynamic stretching exercises aimed at preparing the muscles for physical activity, improving range of motion, and improving proprioception. This dynamic exercise program consists of:

Mobility is essential for general independence as well as ensuring good health and quality of life (QoL) (Michelle, Jim, Jennifer, Sjaanie, & Judith, 2006). In old age, muscle weakness due to sarcopenia is responsible for the occurrences of frailty and important disability (Fried, et al., 2001). Especially in institutionalised elderly persons, muscle strength can deteriorate to a point where it becomes critical for independence of transfers and walking. There is strong evidence that in healthy older persons major gains in muscle strength can be obtained by resistance exercises (Latham, Bennett, Stretton, & Anderson, 2004). The ability to walk for a short distance and the grip strength are quick and inexpensive measure of physical function, and are important components of quality of life, since it reflects the capacity to undertake day-today activities. The six-minute walk distance test (6MWD) was developed by (Balke, 1963), to evaluate functional capacity like cardiovascular or pulmonary disease.

Stretching, post exercise, is also a recovery technique used to combat the detrimental effects of exercise. According the study conducted by Beckett, Schneiker, Wallman, Dawson, and Guelfi (2009), a static stretching regimen of the lower extremity prime movers resulted in slower sprint times for test participants. Results also revealed that stretching had detrimental effects on the repeated sprint ability test. This study suggested that static stretching did not have a significant impact on athletic performance or post activity recovery. Participants who performed static stretching during their recovery period all recorded slower sprint and repeated sprint test times. Conversely, Ray, Lago-Peñas, Casáis, and Lago-Ballesteros (2012), studied the effects of stretching (passive recovery) twenty-four hours post exercise, on subsequent testing for professional soccer players. The researchers concluded that static stretching improved performance on counter movement jump test for participants, but had no effect on 20 meter sprint times and agility testing. This researchers suggested that the evidence found within this study is inconclusive, there is no definitive way to decide if stretching had a positive impact on athlete recovery. Stretching, although used by many practitioners and proven to aid in injury prevention does not seem to have a positive or negative affect on recovery from the studies

I do some stretching, but not very often or consistent. I think that I skip stretching mostly because of limited time. When I exercise I usually only schedule enough time to complete the necessary exercises. However I do stretch during a workout, and at times when my muscles and joints are sore or stiff, but I do not have a routine stretching or flexibility program. I have tried to incorporate some yoga exercise during my rest or off days, but I have a hard time sticking with it. Considering all this, it is a fair assessment that my static flexibility is average at best, if not poor. On the other hand, my dynamic flexibility I feel is good, I have no problems bending, reaching, throwing, or swinging. After reading more into the types of flexibility, I do not take time to improve static flexibility possible because I put more importance on dynamic flexibility.

In doing this SWOT paper I realized just how much I put others before myself. As I thought about what to put in each category I noticed all of my ideas were questioning what I do for others. This paper made me realize how important it is to take time for myself and tend to my own needs as well. Without helping myself I cannot effectively help others. I noticed it was easier for me to come up with my weaknesses over my strengths. I think that may be because its important to me to see my weaknesses over my strengths so I keep my mindset on always trying to improve. But there is a downfall to that mindset which is always worrying if I'm good enough. Having that worry has a lot to do with my diagnosed depression and anxiety. I have several ideas

According to the strength finder assessment my results are as follows: Adaptability, Significance, Responsibility, Deliberative and Futuristic. I was not surprised by my results. I feel like I have incorporated these results in my daily professional life. Currently, I am an assistant manager for a bank. In my position, I have three direct reports that report to me and I manage the daily activities of the branch.

Range of motion is tested in a variety of ways, all methods can be categorized into one of two categories; active range of motion and passive range of motion. Active range of motion requires the individual to consciously contract one or more muscles to move two points on the body closer together or farther apart. Active range of motion for hip flexion requires the individual to consciously contract their quadriceps and hip flexors to bring their hip and knee closer together. Active range of motion also uses muscle contractions to stretch antagonistic muscles and non contractile tissues on the opposite side of the joint. Passive hip flexion requires an second individual to move the person’s limb or body part to move the two points closer together

I come to a squealing halt as I throw my white Civic Si into first gear and hop out of the parking spot between the gold Chevy Tahoe and the black Jeep Wrangler. Grabbing my gym bag from the trunk, I march under the covered patio for the door of Mountainside Fitness to start my daily ritual. Walking through the doors the smell of sweat, hard work and cheap coffee attacks my senses. Lifting weights has been my place of refuge for almost two years now. Albeit I have gotten into pretty decent shape, I have an ulterior motive that goes deeper than just getting bigger, faster, and stronger. While the charming blond girl at the front desk scans my key card, I take a quick scan of the gym and see the customary faces of pain, strain, and disdain on those already in their workout. What motivation is powering these gym goers to finish their workout when it is so easy to quit? For me, going to the gym is a remarkable way to improve physical health, but the stress relief from being completely absorbed in a workout, the hormones released after a workout, and accomplished state of mind after a completed workout makes the mental benefits just as significant.
