    Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when

    1. Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fiber type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fiber-type distribution? Skeletal muscles contain multiple fiber types that are distinguished by their different myosin ATPase speed‚ and the development of their SR. The two main fiber types are type I and type II fibers. Type II fibers have a faster ATPase and a more developed SR than type I fibers. Type II fibers are also part of a larger motor unit‚

    Before the motor neuron cone arrives the muscle fiber‚ AChR clusters are formed in the middle section of a muscle fiber. When the growing nerve cone attaches the muscle fiber‚ Agrin activates Lrp4‚ which then binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK‚ through this binding MuSK is phosphorylated and starts to form the neural and aneural AChR clustering (Burden 2011). Morphologic differences in the pre- and/or postsynaptic part of the NMJ can be a hint of a certain disease. In the following figure

    • 2 Pages

    Muscle fatigue is weakness or weariness resulting from exertion or prolonged stress and the failure to maintain an expected power output. (Amussen) The process by which your body produces energy is called glycolysis. During glycolysis‚ glycogen is broken to produce creatine phosphate‚ which releases energy. The energy released catalyzes a reaction to produce ATP. The ending product of glycolysis is lactic acid‚ which is created by breaking pyruvate acid down. Then lactic acid is broken down to produce

    Muscle Contraction

    • 837 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through

    sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (professional bodybuilders and endurance athletes).[citation needed] The first measurable effect is an increase in the neural drive stimulating muscle contraction. Within just a few days‚ an untrained individual can achieve measurable strength gains resulting from "learning" to use the muscle.[citation needed] As the muscle continues to receive increased demands‚ the synthetic machinery is upregulated. Although all the steps are not yet clear‚ this upregulation appears to begin with
