  2. Elastic mechanisms in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_mechanisms_in_animals

    Tendons affect muscles when muscles lengthen, which affects peak forces experienced due to energy absorbing actions in the muscle tendon unit. Active lengthening of muscle fibers results in both an accumulation and loss of energy. Even though energy is briefly stored in stretched elastic elements are also released, there is an overall net gain.

  3. Starvation response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response

    Starvation response in animals (including humans) is a set of adaptive biochemical and physiological changes, triggered by lack of food or extreme weight loss, in which the body seeks to conserve energy by reducing metabolic rate and/or non-resting energy expenditure to prolong survival and preserve body fat and lean mass.

  4. Anaerobic exercise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_exercise

    Fatigue, which is muscle failure, is a complex subject that depends on more than just changes to lactate concentration. Energy availability, oxygen delivery, perception to pain, and other psychological factors all contribute to muscular fatigue. Elevated muscle and blood lactate concentrations are a natural consequence of any physical exertion.

  6. Exercise physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exercise_physiology

    Resting skeletal muscle has a basal metabolic rate (resting energy consumption) of 0.63 W/kg [13] making a 160 fold difference between the energy consumption of inactive and active muscles. For short duration muscular exertion, energy expenditure can be far greater: an adult human male when jumping up from a squat can mechanically generate 314 ...

  7. Eccentric training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentric_training

    This movement has also been described as negative training. This "negative" movement is necessary to reverse the muscle from its initial trajectory. [1]When the load exceeds the force that can be developed by the muscle at a constant length, as in an eccentric muscle action, the exercise is referred to as involving negative work, because the muscle is absorbing energy.

  9. Benefits of physical activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefits_of_physical_activity

    Bones and muscles work together to support daily movements. Physical activity strengthens muscles. Bones adapt by building more cells, and as a result, both become stronger. Strong bones and muscles protect against injury and improve balance and coordination. In addition, active adults experience less joint stiffness and improved flexibility ...
