...FITNESS MANTRA MUSCULARITY AND STRENGTH In one line ,there is no relation between muscle and strength. A muscular man may be as strong/weak as a person who has never been to gym and vice-versa. Going forward , we will explore two aspects of fitness that is strength and muscularity and means to achieve both and how both are intertwined yet different. TWO TYPES OF MUSCLE GROWTH Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy ( Sarco ): This is an increase in the muscle cell fluid (sarcoplasm) within the muscle cell. This is a fast way to increase the size of a muscle, but since sarcoplasm is a fluid and can't contract, it won't make the muscle significantly stronger. Myofibrillar Hypertrophy ( Myo ) This is actual muscle fiber growth. Since muscle fibers can contract, growth in this area leads to dramatic improvements in strength. This leads to very limited gains in muscle size. DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATION OF BOTH TYPES Consider balloon as your muscle. Now there are two ways to increase the size of balloon 1) Increase the water in the balloon so balloon appears bigger — SARCO 2) Increase the thickness of balloon so that balloon can hold more water—MAYO FITNESS MANTRA Our muscle consists of about 75 % water. Water acts as a elixir both when you are trying to reduce weight and trying to gain muscle. Intake of water in range of 4-6 L daily is optimum for both weight reduction and muscle building FLUID FILLED BALLOON ( SARCO) THICK LAYER BALLOON ( MYO ) SARCO PHASE KEY POINTS :High Repetition/set...

...one must be the fastest, strongest, and most trained. Our bodies are our engines, and we must put the correct fuel in them to keep them going to work at their full potential. The three well-known, tested workout meal plans that I have researched are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, P90X, and Johnny Ahl’s plan. This paper seeks to explore what each bodybuilding meal plan entails and how these popular plans compare and contrast. I will begin with the history of bodybuilding and nutrition; then I will break down each meal plan one by one and compare the plans. The goal of this research will be to find out what it requires to gain lean muscle mass for strength and performance in sports. In fact the website, www.bodybuilding.com has 162 articles on how bodybuilding can improve sport performance in many different sports. Giving clear studies and research on how muscle strength and training play a significant role in the performance of the athlete. This research will provide guidance for all male bodybuilders and athletes between the ages 14-60 to help them reach their peak performance. The History of Bodybuilding: In the 1920’s and 1930’s, it was made clear that health nutrition and physical appearance were closely connected. It was found that weight training was the best route for muscular...

...meaning "role or duty". Functional training is the science of training the body to meet the specific demands of life and sports. It is based on 1) the principle of specificity and 2) muscle function. The principle of specificity also known as SAID (Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands) means that the body responds and adapts specifically to the type and amount of physical demands under which it is placed. In other words, you only improve what you've specifically trained. Since muscle form dictates the role and function of each muscle, muscle needs to be trained the way it is designed to function. Origin Functional training is nothing new and comes primarily from the rehabilitation field. For many decades, therapists have been experimenting with ways of helping their patients regain function. Their goal is to retrain muscles to work properly using special exercises. In their quest to help their patients to become more functional, they have a developed functional training approach. Traditional vs. Functional Traditional strength training usually consists of trying to develop strength and build muscle through isolating specific muscle groups. This type of training could be called dysfunctional training and only develop segmental strength. Traditional strength training is adequate for building muscle but it does not train the body to meet the specific demands of life and sports. It does not reproduce real life conditions and only serves to create non-functional strength. Peter Twist...

...LSeven Steps to A More Youthful Life By Al Sears, MD When you were young, you probably said you never wanted to get old. I can understand why. As you age, you are ever more likely to get cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, deafness, blindness, incontinence, osteoporosis, arthritis, and impotence. Aging conjures up fears of becoming a weak and feeble invalid, a burden to your loved ones because you can no longer take care of yourself. Imagine though, if you could live to a ripe old age of 100 or so, yet retain the same body you had at say, 35. Imagine if you recaptured all the energy, strength, and resistance to disease that you had when you were young. Fortunately, medical science is currently discovering how and why the human body ages. Within the next few decades, it looks like science will learn how to put an end to the suffering of old age. And right now, there is enough known to significantly stall or even reverse certain aspects of the process of aging. In this report, I’m going to show you some very advanced tools you can use to slow down the rate at which you age. The more slowly you age, the more youthful you remain. This can not only extend your life but also save you from suffering from “old age” disease and disability. It will also help you look and feel years younger. How and Why You Age When I lecture on Anti-aging, I have learned from the audience to clarify one thing first. Anti-aging is not the same thing as life...

...Kyle Pignatiello Dr. Titlebaum HSS 358 4 December 2013 Coaches Perspective: Preparing a Team for Success In a world full of coaching changes, conference realignments, and program violations, there are many reasons why a team can be good one year but have a problem sustaining that success in the long term. Maintaining success in college football is difficult because there are many factors that could affect a team. New coaches get hired and existing ones get fired. With each coaching change, there is a chance for change in leadership, which in return could make a program worse or in some cases better. Also, college kids have to deal with their classes and have other off-field distractions to handle. This goes along with the demands that football puts on them. This makes one think whether it is even possible to have sustained success, and if so, such then leads to the question of what is needed to have continued success in college football? To start, one can look at successful programs that have had the most wins. When discussing wins and losses in recent years, what comes to mind is the Southeastern Conference and Alabama Crimson Tide in particular. The SEC has won the last seven national championships, and Alabama has won three of the last four. But, one asks “Is winning football games the only thing that should determine success?” What about the academics and the team’s graduation rate? Those should both be vital parts of “success.” Sadly, coaches are judged and evaluated...

...gaining weight. Creatine is manufactured by the body and supplies energy to the muscles. It travels through the bloodstream to the muscles, where it is converted into creatine phosphate. It then regenerates ATP, which is the main source of explosive power. This means that it gives you the boost that you need to do more reps and lift more weight! Let's look at the pros & cons of creatine: Pros: Creatine has been reported by many to be an effective supplement in muscle growth and bodybuilders are among the top consumers of this product.

When exercising it's important to remember to not overwork the body, this will guarantee the best results for the body. Many types of workout routines exist such as going to the gym, working out at home, or even walking the neighbors dog. Exercising is very important for many reasons. Exercising can lead to positive results including a leaner body, a healthier heart, highly functioning lungs and a better state of mind.

One of the biggest benefits to exercising is that it reduces the risk of someone acquiring heart disease or any other heart difficulties. Many Americans lack physical activity which causes problems for the heart. During exercise the person's heart begins to beat very fast. As a result, exercise can lead to better circulation of blood in the human body. Since the circulation of blood increases it causes more oxygen to be carried throughout the body. Better circulation can lead to longer and a healthier life. In addition to, better blood circulation many other positives exist. Another positive result to an individual exercising is a more enhanced state of mind.

...March 27th, 2015 Healthy living 1. Three of the studies that were conducted by individuals that were in reference to healthy living and adverse affects were… A. Japan Study- The japan study was conducted in the 90’s for health screens mandatory by the gas factory “Osaka”. They did a study that determined HBP= High Blood Pressure. Walking longer to work made a difference in health compared to those that had a shorter walking distance. The distance was 10 minute, which didn’t have a change in the health nor decrease of HBP. Time frame of walking 11-21 min made a slight difference in the decrease of HBP, and then the time frame greater than 21 min and more made a significant decrease in HBP. It was a 12% reduction in the risk of HBP. B. Stents in heart was the second study. In this study Reiner Hembrex tested and did a study on patients that needed high tech stents. He directed half of the individuals to a 30-1 hr exercise program several times a week and with the other half of the individuals he medically inserted the stents with no life style exercise program to follow. In the time frame given the patients that were directed to the exercise program 100% had recovery. The other half has a 70% recovery rate that only corrected 1 part of the body, meaning the heart. The exercise individuals gained overall health benefits to their whole body. C. The third study was conducted by Lennert Veerman. He did a study on the average amount individuals that didn’t watch...

...Soccer Training Program Salah Mohamed PHED 1122 Spring sem. 2003 Mr. Williams April 30, 2003 By now we all know the dangers of eating too much and exercising too little: heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc. But even in a society as obsessed with slimness as ours, most of us would rather have a root canal than hit the gym. Well, couch potatoes, take heart! Experts now say that effective exercise can be incorporated into daily life so easily; even the most exercise-phobic among us can shape up. This is a 4-week bodybuilding program, designed for myself, and any one interested to building their muscle. However, this plan is good for beginners just like me. This sketch requires 1-2 hours, 4 times a week. The idea is to lift as heavy as you can, while still being able to complete the required number of repetitions. Not only that, but the exercise I am about to develop is what I do with my soccer team. To be able to keep up an exercise plan, that has to work for you. For example, if you plan to get up 5 in the morning to work out, and you’re not a morning person, that plan will never work over the long term. Look your schedule and find times to work out that are convenient for you on a regular basis. If you have to switch your whole life around to accommodate your workout schedule, you’ll end up not working out. So look at your weekly timetable, and find a few hours that can be made convenient for you to exercise, then make sure you go. The...
