MUSCLE PROPERTIES
The main constituents of skeletal muscle are:• Water 70%• Protein (myofilaments)23%• Minerals (calcium and phosphorus) and substrates
(glycogen and fatty acids) 7%
![Page 8: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY
Skeletal muscle is made up of fibres:• Made up of smaller myofibrils
• Within each myofibril are strands of myofilaments (actin and myosin)
• Fibres grouped together are called fasciculi
• Fasciculi are then grouped together to form the muscle
![Page 9: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SKELETAL MUSCLE ANATOMY
• Endomysium – surrounds each muscle fibre
• Perimysium – surrounds each fasciculi
• Epimysium – covers entire muscle

SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY
• Myofilaments actin (thin) and myosin (thick) do not decrease in length when a muscle contracts.
• They simply slide over each other thus shortening the entire muscle.
• The myosin filaments have golf club shaped heads which attach onto the actin and pull the actin closer together (as detailed in picture on next slide)

SLIDING FILAMENT THEORY

myosin
myosin cross-bridges attach to the actin filaments
actin is pulled together and sarcomere length is reduced

NEUROLOGICAL SYSTEM
The nervous system consists of two primary
divisions, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
![Page 14: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

MUSCLE FIBRE RECRUITMENT
Motor units and muscle fibre recruitment:
A motor unit consists of a motor neuron (nerve fibre) and all the fibres it innervates
‘All or none law’ – when a motor neuron is stimulated, ALL of the muscle fibres are activated
The more motor units that are recruited for a task, the greater the force will be developed
![Page 17: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ROLES OF MUSCLES
Agonist- A muscle that carries out a voluntary movement
Antagonist- The opposing muscle that relaxes in order to allow the movement to occur
Synergist- A muscle that assists the agonist in producing movement
Fixator- A muscle that stabilises a body part whilst the agonist is contracting
![Page 18: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Muscular Contractions
![Page 19: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TYPES OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Concentric (positive); the muscle contracts and shortens to overcome a resistance E.g. Lifting a dumbell during a bicep curl
Eccentric (negative); the muscle contracts and
lengthens to control a resistance E.g. Lowering a dumbell during a bicep curl
Isometric (static); the muscle contracts toovercome a resistance but without any change in length
![Page 20: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM
Responses of the neuromuscular system to exercise
Short term response:
Vasodilation (diversion of blood) to the muscles
![Page 29: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Responses of the neuromuscular system to exercise
Long term adaptations to aerobic exercise:
Increase in the number and size of mitochondria in the muscle fibres
Increase in the number of capillaries surrounding these fibres
Increase in the number of aerobic enzymes, stored glycogen and triglycerides (fats)
![Page 30: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
NEUROMUSCULAR SYSTEM
Responses of the neuromuscular system to exercise
Long term adaptations to strength training:

conditions or high stress conditions
![Page 31: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Principles of Training
![Page 32: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
OVERLOAD
In order to challenge the muscle you need to work outside of your comfort zone. The degree of extra challenge depends upon the aims and fitness level of the individual
![Page 33: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
SPECIFICITY
Training that is relevant to the desired outcome
![Page 34: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
REVERSIBILITY
You cannot store fitness – if you don’t use it you will lose it!
Muscles which are not regularly stimulated will suffer muscle wastage or “atrophy”
![Page 35: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
PROGRESSION
As you adapt to a workload and can complete it without feeling challenged, the next step is to increase the workload in order to progress
![Page 36: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
ADAPTATION
An anatomical or physiological change that occurs in the body, such as getting stronger, losing fat or increasing muscle size.
The body will adapt to any new stresses by protecting and strengthening the area.
![Page 37: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
HYPERTROPHY
An increase in cross-sectional diameter of trained muscle fibres
![Page 38: Neuromuscular System](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081504/5549858cb4c905c26a8b4c1b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING
ATROPHY
An decrease in cross-sectional diameter of muscle fibres due to lack of use
