20.01.2022 Chronic pain on the outside of the elbow or as shown in the pic? Tennis elbow is when pain is felt on the outside of your elbow where the forearm muscles join onto the elbow. It can cause pain with gripping activities, typing or carrying. Tennis elbow is usually an overuse problem. Over a prolonged period the stress on the elbow and its extensor tendons builds up until symptoms appear. ... Tennis elbow can take many months to settle even with treatment and the right exercises. Tendons need consistent and progressive load to ensure they are strong and able to keep up with the demands of physical activities. Loading strengthens the tendons. So if you have a tendon related injury, Exercise! Cortisone injections usually only give some temporary relief whereas Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory medication may relieve pain in the short term. ..... checkout some exercises that you can do to tackle this problem

13.01.2022 CALVES Calves are the only muscle group with the highest genetic influence in the human body, compared to all the other muscle groups. People with the greatest calves have extremely long muscle bellies - the muscle appears to attach so low, almost to the heel and the Achilles tendon is super short. Such calves have a greater tendency to become bigger just from doing low intensity activities. ... The bigger the muscle the more potential it has to grow due to more motor units thus greater recruitment of muscle fibers. In contrast, if you have very short calves, there's not much muscle to grow in the first place. Most sprinters and runners in general are characterised through having short calve muscle and long Achilles tendons. Experts believe that tendons act like rubber bands - they absorb the force and return it, just like a a rubber band, and the longer the rubber band (the tendon), the more force it can produce. Short calves with a long Achilles’ tendon are found in most successful elite runners - and these are quite rare. People with short calves and long Achilles’ tendon highly benefit from endurance or long distance running as well as high jumps. If you have short calves, they may never grow to the size you would like them to, due to muscle-tendon insertion and formation however training calves 3-4 times per week is a recommendation. #health #fitness #science #exercise #muscle #gym #calves #running

10.01.2022 An ACL injury is the tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) one of the major ligaments in your knee. ..

05.01.2022 The role of Exercise on preventing Sarcopenia Musculoskeletal deterioration in old age has severe health consequences. Given the close link between muscle loss (sarcopenia) and bone loss (osteopenia), factors that affect muscle anabolism are also likely to effect bone mass. With advancing age, sarcopenia and osteopenia present major clinical problems, such as impaired locomotory function, compromised balance, increased risk of osteoarthritis and fall/fractures; all of w...hich diminish quality of life in seniors. Chronic sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity are key mechanistic drivers of sarcopenia and can accelerate loss of muscle mass and strength leading to impaired mobility, higher risk of falls and increased mortality . Importantly, resistance exercise is also safe for use within the healthy elderly and possibly even in those with adverse cardiovascular signs or complications. In addition, resistance training has been observed to effectively improve balance and in turn reduced fear of and occurrence of falling, improve cognitive function, decrease sit to stand time, reduce risk of repeat and single hospitalisations increase gait speed and most importantly improve overall quality of life. The importance of muscle size and strength for longevity and health in humans puts a new spin on the Darwinian statement Survival of the Fittest as it is clear that the strongest, fittest individuals are more likely to live longer and healthier lives. #exercise #science #sarcopenia #muscle #fitness #physiology #rehab #health
