24. Muscle fatigue: decline in ability of a muscle to generate force • Correction of muscle fatigue: • Nutrition– Maintain a well-balanced diet that includes complex proteins, fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates. • Eating Schedule – Eat a light meal or snack about two hours before working out. It is not recommended to work out on a full stomach or an empty stomach. Make sure to eat within one hour after you work out. This will help repair and refuel the muscles that were broken down during exercise. • Hydration – Drinking water throughout the day and drinking sports drinks during exercise is crucial to prevent dehydration, electrolyte loss, and muscle fatigue. • Endurance– Improve your aerobic capacity. As your respiratory muscles begin to fatigue, oxygen will be redirected from the muscles of your limbs to those of your diaphragm • Body Mechanics – Use correct form when exercising • Rest/Recovery – Complete a warm up and cool down for 5 to 10 minutes each time you exercise. • Anaerobic Exercise: 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

25. Anaerobic exercise uses glycogen as well which is usually depleted in 2 hours (i.e. muscle fatigue). Your body builds up lactic acid, which causes discomfort and fatigue at sustained levels. For this reason anaerobic exercise or high intensity exercise happens in short bursts. It may be helpful to consider the difference between a sprinter (anaerobic) and a marathoner (aerobic). Benefits of Anaerobic Exercise Anaerobic exercise helps build lean muscle mass. Calories are burned more efficiently in bodies that have more muscle. Anaerobic exercise is especially helpful for weight management in that it helps to burn more calories even in a body at rest. Anaerobic exercise can also help build endurance and fitness levels. Aerobic Exercise: Requires energy. When we exercise aerobically our bodies use glycogen and fat as fuel. This low to moderate level of exertion can be sustained over long periods. As you breathe more heavily with exertion carbon dioxide is expelled from your body. Lactic acid is not produced as it is with anaerobic exercise. Benefits of Aerobic Exercise It is difficult to overstate the benefits of aerobic exercise. It not only improves overall health and quality of life, but may also extend your life. Aerobic exercise burns fat, improves mood, strengthens the heart and lungs and reduces your risk of diabetes 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

32. A muscle spasm, or muscle cramp, is an involuntary contraction of a muscle. Muscle spasms occur suddenly, usually resolve quickly, and are often painful. Often due to dehydration or or overuse of the muscle. Treatment: Prevention is key. Drink plenty of fluids and stretch prior to any strenuous activity or exercise. Once the spasm occurs stretching it out will usually alleviate the symptoms. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

33. Muscular Dystrophy • Discuss the picture and how it relates to muscular dystrophy. Cause Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

34. Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases in which muscle fibers are unusually susceptible to damage. These damaged muscles become progressively weaker. Most people who have muscular dystrophy will eventually need to use a wheelchair. Duchenne muscular dystrophy About half of all muscular dystrophy cases are the Duchenne variety, which most commonly occurs in boys. Signs and symptoms typically first surface when the child begins to walk and may include: Frequent falls Difficulty getting up from a lying or sitting position Trouble running and jumping Waddling gait Large calf muscles Learning disabilities 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

37. Autoimmune disease Myasthenia gravis is caused by a breakdown in the normal communication between nerves and muscles. There is no cure Symptoms: weakness of arm or leg muscles, double vision, drooping eyelids, and difficulties with speech, chewing, swallowing and breathing. Most common in women younger than 40 and in men older than 60. Treatment: Corticosteroids. Immunosuppressants. Plasmapheresis (plaz-muh-fuh-REE-sis). This procedure uses a filtering process similar to dialysis. Your blood is routed through a machine that removes the antibodies that block transmission of signals from your nerve endings to your muscles' receptor sites Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg). This therapy provides your body with normal antibodies, which alters your immune system response. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

38. Strain • What happened here? • What symptoms is this man having? Why? • How will he treat them? • What is his prognosis? 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

39. A sprain is a stretching or tearing of ligaments — the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect one bone to another in your joints. A strain is a stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon. A tendon is a fibrous cord of tissue that connects muscles to bone. Sprains Pain Swelling Bruising Limited ability to move the affected joint At the time of injury, you may hear or feel a "pop" in your joint Strains Pain Swelling Muscle spasms Limited ability to move the affected muscle Medications: over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others). Therapy: apply ice to the area as soon as possible to minimize swelling. In cases of severe sprain or strain, your doctor may immobilize the area with a brace or splint. Surgery. If you have a torn ligament or ruptured muscle, surgery may be an option. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

41. Tendinitis is inflammation or irritation of a tendon If tendinitis is severe and leads to the rupture of a tendon, you may need surgical repair. But most cases of tendinitis can be successfully treated with rest, physical therapy and medications to reduce pain. Symptoms: Pain, often described as a dull ache, especially when moving the affected limb or joint Tenderness Mild swelling, possibly Causes: repetition of a particular movement over time Treatment: Corticosteroids Pain relievers Therapy program of specific exercise designed to stretch and strengthen the affected muscle-tendon unit 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

42. Tetanus Discuss the picture and how it relates to tetanus. Cause Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Prognosis 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

43. Tetanus is a serious bacterial disease that affects your nervous system, leading to painful muscle contractions, particularly of your jaw and neck muscles. Tetanus can interfere with your ability to breathe and, ultimately, threaten your life. Tetanus is commonly known as "lockjaw.“ • There's no cure for tetanus. Treatment focuses on managing complications until the effects of the tetanus toxin resolve. Fatality is highest in individuals who haven't been immunized and in older adults with inadequate immunization. • Signs and symptoms of tetanus may appear anytime from a few days to several weeks after tetanus bacteria enter your body through a wound. The average incubation period is seven to eight days. • Common signs and symptoms of tetanus, in order of appearance, are: • Spasms and stiffness in your jaw muscles • Stiffness of your neck muscles • Difficulty swallowing • Stiffness of your abdominal muscles • Painful body spasms lasting for several minutes, typically triggered by minor occurrences, such as a draft, loud noise, physical touch or light • Fever • Sweating • Elevated blood pressure • Rapid heart rate 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system

44. Causes: • The bacteria that cause tetanus, Clostridium tetani, are found in soil, dust and animal feces. It enters the body generally through a flesh wound. • Treatment: • Since there's no cure for tetanus, treatment consists of wound care, medications to ease symptoms and supportive care. • Wound care • Cleaning the wound is essential to preventing growth of tetanus spores. This involves removing dirt, foreign objects and dead tissue from the wound. • Medications • 1. Antitoxin: Tetanus immune globulin. However, the antitoxin can neutralize only toxin that hasn't yet bonded to nerve tissue. • 2. Antibiotics: Either orally or by injection, to fight tetanus bacteria. • 3. Vaccine: Having tetanus once doesn't make you immune to the bacteria afterward. So you'll need to receive a tetanus vaccine in order to prevent future tetanus infection. • 4. Sedatives: Use powerful sedatives to control muscle spasms. • 5. Other medications: such as magnesium sulfate and certain beta blockers, may be used to help regulate involuntary muscle activity, such as your heartbeat and breathing. Morphine may be used for this purpose as well as sedation. • 6. Supportive therapies: Tetanus infection often requires a long period of treatment in an intensive care setting. Since sedatives may result in shallow breathing, you may need to be supported temporarily by a ventilator. 1.05 Understand the functions and disorders of the muscular system
