  2. Muscle tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_tone

    In physiology, medicine, and anatomy, muscle tone (residual muscle tension or tonus) is the continuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles, or the muscle's resistance to passive stretch during resting state. [1] [2] It helps to maintain posture and declines during REM sleep. [3]

  3. Hypertonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertonia

    Spastic hypertonia involves uncontrollable muscle spasms, stiffening or straightening out of muscles, shock-like contractions of all or part of a group of muscles, and abnormal muscle tone. It is seen in disorders such as cerebral palsy, stroke, and spinal cord injury. Rigidity is a severe state of hypertonia where muscle resistance occurs ...

    Diet itself helps to increase calorie burning by boosting metabolism, a process further enhanced while gaining more lean muscle. An aerobic exercise program can burn fat and increase the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in obese adults, studies show that through proper diet over the span of 6 months in obese adults has shown a positive correlation in fitness and mood, as well as a weight loss ...

  5. Hypotonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypotonia

    Hypotonia is a state of low muscle tone [1] (the amount of tension or resistance to stretch in a muscle), often involving reduced muscle strength. Hypotonia is not a specific medical disorder, but a potential manifestation of many different diseases and disorders that affect motor nerve control by the brain or muscle strength.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Muscle_tone

    If tone increases as a response to resistance training, this may explain why weight training is sometimes associated with a lack of flexibility (beyond that of actual muscle tissue getting in the way of a joint). Flexibility training, therefore, must be an attempt to decrease tone by allowing muscle to lengthen. Perhaps tone in a stretched ...

  8. Neuromuscular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_disease

    This usually starts with the observation of bulk, possible atrophy or loss of muscle tone. Neuromuscular disease can also be diagnosed by various blood tests and using electrodiagnostic medicine tests [ 23 ] including electromyography [ 24 ] (measuring electrical activity in muscles) and nerve conduction studies . [ 25 ]

  9. Strength training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_training

    Common superset configurations are two exercises for the same muscle group, agonist-antagonist muscles, or alternating upper and lower body muscle groups. [29] Exercises for the same muscle group (flat bench press followed by the incline bench press) result in a significantly lower training volume than a traditional exercise format with rests ...
