Muscle Growth

Muscle Growth

With the introduction of such modern conveniences such as the automobile, remote

control, and even the electric toothbrush people are relying on technology to do

everything for them. With a generation growing up in todays society physical

tasks have almost become obsolete. Tasks such as even going shopping and going

out to visit a friend can be done from the comfort of your own computer. With

this sedentary lifestyle, muscular size will almost be unnecessary, except for

the athlete who wants to succeed in sports. To the non-athlete, there will be

no reason to leave the house because everything that you need will be at your

fingertips, you will not have to get up and do anything. Any type of exercise

is good for the body and muscles. Muscle growth is essential if you want to

look better, feel better, and perform everyday tasks such as walking to the car,

and getting out of bed easier. A person who is in shape will also sleep better

then an out of shape person, and feel more revitalized in the morning.

Muscles account for approximently 35% of the body weight in women, and about 45%

of the body weight in men. With over 600 muscles covering the human skeleton

muscles give the body bulk and form. Then human body contains millions of

muscle fibres whose coordinated contraction cause the whole muscle to contract.

Muscles are the foundation on which our bodies are built. Without muscles our

bodies could not perform the simplest tasks such as opening our eyes, talking,

breathing and even the pumping of our heart or the most difficult tasks, such as

running the hurdles in a track and field event.. Muscles are also important to

maintain balance and posture.

Description of Muscles

In the body there are several types of muscles that control different functions

in the body, one of these types being skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is the

most evident in the human body due to it having the most mass the other types of

muscles and that it lies directly under the skin attached to the skeleton by

tendons and ligaments.

Skeletal muscles are divided into three structural units, the entire muscle, the

muscle bundle, and the muscle fiber (cell). Each muscle fiber is divided into

two types of fiber structure, fusiform and pennate, with the pennate being

broken up into three basic structures. These structures being the un...

properly stretch the muscles being worked in order to keep them loose.

Stretching should also be done directly after a workout because the muscles are

still warm and can be stretched more easily. This will also increase

flexibility which can be very advantageous in preventing injuries such as muscle

sprains and strains.

A Conclusion to Muscle Growth

A muscle growth program can be beneficial to everybody, from the young athlete

wanting to succeed in sports, to the older man trying to help stay and feel

young. The benefits of muscle growth are too high to be passed out by anybody

who has any sort of ambition of feeling better about themselves, looking better,

and having more energy for everyday tasks. You will find that once you start

weight training, and muscle and strength growths are noticed that it will almost

become addicting and the desire for bigger and better results will become

greater and greater. I would recommend muscle growth to anybody, and anyone who

disagrees should give it a try, just for a little while, and after the results

of improved strength and muscle size are noticed weight training will become a

part of their life.
