Types of animal protein include whey and casein, while soy is the most common form of animal protein. This review will focus on the effect of whey and casein on muscle metabolism (specifically anabolism) after resistance training in trained athletes. The review will also focus on the previous training of participants, as previous pieces of literature have suggested that neural adaptations in beginners can often

The Deltoid Muscle The deltoid muscle is in the shoulder area, towards the proximal end of the arm. The muscle itself is rounded and triangular in shape, and consists of three main “heads” or muscles fibre strands; the lateral, anterior, and posterior deltoids. It is used for arm extension in all angles and rotation, mainly up and down straight out to the side. The deltoid has three main functions that involve the three individual muscle “strands”. The the anterior deltoid rotates the humerus anteriorly

flexibility, muscle strength, and muscle endurance. Consequently, body composition is the amount of muscle, bone, fat, etc. that makes up our bodies. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the body’s ability to continuously provide enough energy to sustain submaximal levels of exercise. Flexibility is the movement available at the joints, usually controlled by the length of one’s muscles. Additionally, muscle strength is the ability of a muscle to exert a force to overcome a resistance. Muscle endurance is

essential to all movement of the human body as they are what is moved during muscle contractions, but can also limit our range of motion. During the primary vertical jump flexion and extension of the hip is allowed by the highly mobile ball and socket joint formed between the pelvis and femur. Flexion and extension of the knee is made possible by the hinge joint formed between the femur and tibia and dorsiflexion

smooth muscle and skeletal muscle is in the way actin and myosin is used during contraction, and the characteristics of the muscle cell as well. Skeletal muscles have long strands of multinucleate cells and are made of sarcomeres that form the striations within the cells. While smooth muscle, cells are not striated because they do not have sarcomeres and have a single nucleus. In addition, skeletal muscles are the only muscle cells out of the three that is voluntary. The third type of muscle cell is

Gaining lean muscle involves loads of commitment, persistence and, hard work; however, by following the basic dogmas of hypertrophy training your dream of an artistically sculpted and chiseled body may well become a reality. The top ten tips discussed below will suffice to aid in building lean muscle and obtaining your fitness objectives. 1. Train your muscles frequently. Ramping up muscle mass requires increasing muscle cells in the body. Increase in muscle cells will come as a consequence of

regeneration of muscle. More so in athletes than non-athletes, muscle tears are extremely common. Yet, when viewing muscle regeneration, it doesn’t only occur during injuries. Individuals who lift weights constantly tear their muscle, but in a good way. “Lifting heavy weights cause microscopic tears in the muscle. By doing this, it allows the muscle to regenerate and grow back stronger than it once was” (Annigan). Injuries, and weight lifting both involve the slightly similar processes of muscle generation

hamstring is one of the most common muscle pulls or muscle injury. Your hamstrings are a group of three muscles that help extend your legs at the hip and flex them at the knee. A pulled hamstring is a strain or tear in the muscles or tendons. To understand what causes a hamstring injury you have to know how muscles work. All muscles work in pairs to perform a task. One set of muscles contracts to exert force while the other set of muscles relaxes. The hamstring muscles located at the back of the thigh

Building muscle can be a long and arduous process, however there are some shortcuts that have been discovered by the relatively new science of sports physiology. Knowledge of these shortcuts can help you significantly reduce the amount of time required to build muscle. One secret that we have learned is that you don’t have to exercise each muscle every single day. In the traditional school of bodybuilding, it was believed that there was no way to build muscle fast. Every day you would have to go
