Exercise physiology is the physiology of physical exercise. It is one of the allied health professions , and involves the study of the acute responses and chronic adaptations to exercise. Exercise physiologists are the highest qualified exercise professionals and utilise education, lifestyle intervention and specific forms of exercise to ...
Kinesiology (from Ancient Greek κίνησις (kínēsis) ' movement ' and -λογία-logía ' study of ') is the scientific study of human body movement. Kinesiology addresses physiological , anatomical , biomechanical , pathological , neuropsychological principles and mechanisms of movement.
Physiology (/ ˌ f ɪ z i ˈ ɒ l ə dʒ i /; from Ancient Greek φύσις (phúsis) ' nature, origin ' and -λογία () ' study of ') [1] is the scientific study of functions and mechanisms in a living system.
Davis's law is used in anatomy and physiology to describe how soft tissue models along imposed demands. It is similar to Wolff's law, which applies to osseous tissue.It is a physiological principle stating that soft tissue heal according to the manner in which they are mechanically stressed.
The body will perform the motion based on the information that is stored in the brain from previous attempts at the same movement. [3] This is possible because the brain has formed connections between the location of body parts in space (the body uses perception to learn where their body is in space [ 4 ] ) and the subsequent movements that ...
In biology, a motor unit is made up of a motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by the neuron's axon terminals, including the neuromuscular junctions between the neuron and the fibres. [1] Groups of motor units often work together as a motor pool to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle.
Kinesiotherapy or Kinesitherapy or kinesiatrics (kinēsis, "movement"), literally "movement therapy", is the therapeutic treatment of disease by passive and active muscular movements (as by massage) and of exercise.
In muscle physiology, physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) is the area of the cross section of a muscle perpendicular to its fibers, generally at its largest point. It is typically used to describe the contraction properties of pennate muscles . [ 1 ]
