Muscles
They allow the body to move, maintain posture, and generate force
What are muscles?
The key to muscle growth, it leads to increased muscle mass, enhanced strength, and improved metabolic rate
What is hypertrophy?
It is recommended to have high quantities of this macronutrient if you want to grow muscles
What is protein?
What are Macronutrients?
An ache or tender feeling that starts 24-72 hours after certain types of exercise
What is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)?
It acts as an anchor for Myosin
What is Actin?
This type of hypertrophy leads to greater muscle density
What is Myofibrillar Hypertrophy?
Although frequently demonized, these are your body's main source of energy
What are carbohydrates?
A type of carbohydrate that assists in digestion and keeps you feeling satiated
What are fibers?
Might include trying new exercises or exercising after a long break
What are reasons for DOMS?
What are sarcomeres?
An essential amino acid found in high protein foods
What is Leucine?
Dormant stem cells that result in muscle growth come after this injury
What are muscle tears?
An increase in ribosomal activity also increases this
What is protein synthesis?
What are the causes for DOMS?
A thick filament that relaxes and contracts muscles
What is a myosin?
This pathways signals muscle cells to increase protein synthesis
What is the mTOR pathway?
Consumption of this specific macronutrient, found in fish and nuts, is incredibly helpful in treating inflammation
What is an Omega-3 Fatty Acid?
A type of fat that is rarely found in nature and often heavily regulated
What are trans fats?
Cells that inflammation sends to damaged tissue via increased blood flow
What is a white blood cell?
The addition of these two allows muscles to contract
What is ATP and Ca2+?
It increases the volume of sarcoplasm
What is Sarcoplasmic Hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy is driven by this type of training that pushes muscles beyond their comfort limit
What is resistance training?
A hormone that supports amino acid uptake and mTOR activation. A resistance to this hormone may be diagnosed as a serious lifestyle illness
What is insulin?
This action occurs to the sycrolemma and myofibrils during intense exercise
What is a rupture?
