muscular responses

Question 1

Increased blood supply

Answer 1

Greater demand for oxygen and glucose.
Vasodilation occurs ( blood vessels expand). Which allows more blood to enter your muscles, as well as an increase in blood flow to supply oxygen and remove waste products.

Question 2

Increase muscle temperature

Answer 2

Fuels are used which are broken down and produce heat as a waste product. More energy needed = More heat produced.

Question 3

Increase muscle pliability

Answer 3

More flexible due to warming of muscles.

Question 4

Lactate ( high intensity excercise )

Answer 4

build up of lactic acid causing rapid fatigue and will make muscle contractions harder if not removed quickly.

Question 5

Micro tears ( resistance excercise )

Answer 5

Muscles put under stress during weight training tiny tears occur. The muscle becomes a little stronger than it was before when this occurs.

Question 6

Delayed onset of muscle soreness

Answer 6

DOMS
Pain felt after excercise caused by micro tears when not used to intensity of excercise.
