It can be measured during muscle contraction. Building muscle strength helps to align and improve the body, facilitates the performance of everyday activities and improves metabolism.

The sarcoplasm - what is it?

The sarcoplasm is the fluid surrounding the myofibrils in the muscles and is a source of energy. It contains enzymes, ATP, glycogen, creatine phosphate and water. Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy generally occurs as well as myofibrillar. The body in the recovery period after the depletion of your energy reserves, "offset oversized" lost. Thus,...

Myofibril - what is it?

Myofibril is the contractile elements of muscle fiber. The more specific muscle fiber, the greater the force of contraction is able to show the fiber. Each muscle fiber consists of myofibrils. A specific person is given a certain number of muscle fibers, each of which contains a certain number of myofibrils....
