Whist Muscle Analysis

Stretching increases any golfers ability to perform what their swing coach is constantly telling him or her by about having the right “touch and feeling”, especially when trying to accomplish specific tasks by simply having the appropriate weight on each side of their body and eliminating the pressure in their grip which travels up their entire arm. Flexibility training is most important for golfers because it helps develop body control and awareness, allowing it to be easier to perform the exact motions in the golf swing that a swing coach asks of. Stretching a highly recommended and very important before, during, and after a round of golf not only to increase the player’s flexibility but to allow their body to swing more freely and improve club and distance control (Piazza). To be fully successful in the game of golf the player needs to attain a well balanced shoulder turn and reach a high finish by swinging the club, and to increase their range of motion, they need the proper flexibility training (Piazza).

Hamstring Strains (HS) are identified by acute pain in the thigh with disruption of the muscle fibres, with 47% of all HS studies stating that the BF muscle is affected (3). This can be explained because the BF muscle tendon and muscle fibres are where the most common distribution of the ground force produced during running (3). Eccentric contraction is explained by a study from Guex (4) stating that between 75-85% of the running cycle the hamstrings are undergoing an active lengthening contraction. Having this amount of eccentric contraction upon the muscles has the potential to cause an overuse injury (4). At 85% of the running cycle, the SM, ST, and BF are stretched by 8.7-12.0% which is beyond their optimum lengths (4).

The athletic trainer discovers whether there is an injury present in the hamstring is through special tests. One of the special tests is called the Weber-Barstow Maneuver Test. “First, the patient begins lying in supine position with his or her heels off the end of the table (Special Tests). “The examiner holds the feet of the patient and places the thumbs over the medial malleoli while providing slight traction to the legs” (Special Tests). “The examiner instructs the patient to flex both knees and hips to place the feet on the table aligned next to each other (line up the medial malleoli)” (Special Tests). “The examiner instructs the patient to bridge his or her hips upward and then

Hamstring strain injuries are one of the most common sport related injuries involving high speed, kicking movements (Marc. A., et al 2004). Despite there being evidence that hamstring strains occur at both stages of movements; the early stance phase where the muscle absorbs the most force as a result of high ground reaction and the late swing phase, the hamstrings eccentrically contract to absorb the kinetic energy and slow the lower limb putting the hamstrings under a large amount of stress (Schmitt. B., et al 2012)

As you begin to gently stretch the hamstring muscle it will become more supple. This will result in tension being taken from the lower back, sacro-iliac joint and hamstring muscles, which in turn will encourage correct function of these areas, therefore healing will take place. As a result, your pain will also begin to resolve.

Static stretches are intended to improve flexibility by holding a specific movement. For the feet and calves there is the advanced plantar flexor stretch. For the knees and things there are the advanced seated knee flexor stretch and advanced kneeling knee extensor stretch. The hips can be stretch with external rotator and back extensor stretch, along with the advanced seated hip adductor stretch. The arms, wrists and hands can be stretch with the elbow and wrist flexor stretch, triceps brachii stretch, intermediate wrist extensor stretch and intermediate wrist flexor stretch. The shoulder, back and chest can be stretch with the intermediate shoulder flexor stretch, shoulder adductor, protractor and elevator stretch, along with the shoulder adductor and extensor stretch (Nelson & Kokkonen,

All of these muscles are vital to execute a correct push-up. Each one sounds complicated, but they amazingly work well together.

In the study with trained soccer players, they saw no changed in any strength test for the Hamstring Curl group. At the same time, the Nordic Hamstring group should improvements in the same tests. Nordic Hamstring had increased hamstring torque by 11% and both the maximal isometric hamstring strength where improve at 90, 60, and 30 degrees (Mjolsnes et al). Even in untrained college students another study showed that eccentric strength training was more effect in peak isokinetic eccentric hamstring torque; the muscle contraction needed while sprinting, in comparison to concentric strength training (Kaminski et al.). The goal of all of this is to improve the athlete’s ability to have eccentric hamstring torque and that help reduce the amount of hamstring strains they

There are four different Hamstring muscles that run along the back of your thigh. These four muscles are called: semimembranosus and semitendinosus (medially) and biceps femoris – short and long heads (laterally). Hamstrings strains can occur for multiple reasons.

The comic I selected as shown above displays two differently shaped men both wearing nothing but their underwear. The comic created by artist Andrew Evans captions “Important Muscles” as it clearly shows that the man on the left is very muscular in every aspect of his body except for his small genitals, while the man on the right is evidently opposite, lacking muscles except his overly large genitals hidden under his underwear. Evans’ main message to readers can be perceived in two different ways: first perception, the viewer may see both cases equal, inferring that an overall muscular body is as important as a healthy, properly function in large penis essential for a sexual lifestyle. For the second perception the viewer may take this as a

When you stretch, you should do so in a slow easy manner and never bounce. You should aslo work on a specific muscle group slowly and one at a time.

Effects of Varying Lengths of Rana Pipiens Gastrocnemius on Tetanic Contraction Joshua Porter, Sofia Tuttle, Yoniko Washington TA: Ryan Hoffman Abstract Muscles play an essential role in vertebrate life from maintaining posture and locomotion to controlling the heart. Better understanding them is essential to better understanding life processes. (2) In this experiment, the effects of muscle length on the tetanic contraction tension of the gastrocnemius muscle of a rana pipiens were observed.

My goal is to become as flexible as possible in order to perform multiple stretches to increase by ability to perform activities with no difficulty and thus decrease any risk of injury. I tend to pursue this goal within the time frame from the end of September until the end of January. Such activities that will allow my flexibility level to grow include bicep stretch, hip flexor/quad stretch, foldover stretch, butterfly stretch, reclining pigeon, swan stretch, twisted arm stretch, standing thigh release, calf stretch, and standing tricep stretch. I will perform each of these stretches within 30 seconds to 1 minute each, every 4-5 days per week.

To clarify; the main difference in concept between my preferred poles and other poles is that my preferred were designed from first principles, and based on anatomical/biomechanical analysis of the arm's walking stride actions above the legs. From this data came further analysis of how the arm's leverage can be accessed without distortion - in order to complement that of the legs and maximise the users walking potential (whatever their fitness level or walking terrain ... those with ME, amputees (Mark Inglis, climber/first bilateral amputee to summit Everest - 2006), or the team who chose to use my preferred poles. In the Race to the North Pole last April - and won by a margin of 2 days (5 teams competing). In contrast, the concept designs
