The Evolution Diet — Your Resource for the Paleo Lifestyle What Causes Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness After Exercise Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) describes a phenomenon of muscle pain, muscle soreness or muscle stiffness that occurs in the day or two after exercise. This muscle soreness is most frequently felt when you begin a new exercise program, change your exercise routine, or dramatically increase the duration or intensity of your exercise routine. Although it can be alarming for new exercisers, delayed onset muscle soreness is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build hypertrophy). This sort of muscle pain is not the same as the muscle pain or fatigue you experience during exercise. What Causes Muscle Soreness After Exercise? Delayed onset muscle soreness is thought to be a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers. Examples of eccentric muscle contractions include going down stairs, running downhill, lowering weights and the downward motion of squats and push-ups. Sources
Value-added products from beekeeping. Chapter 3. Contents - Previous - Next 3.1 Introduction Innumerable stories and even more rumours exist about the mysterious powers of pollen and its nutritional value. It is however, often difficult for a lay person to verify the numerous claims, particularly those backed up with so-called reports from "doctors". Pollen grains are small, male reproduction units (gametophytes) formed in the anthers of the higher flowering plants (see Figure 3.1). Each pollen grain carries a variety of nutrients and upon arrival at the stigma it divides into several cells and grows a tube through the often very long stigma of the flower. To determine the value of pollen as a supplementary food or medicine, it is important to know that pollen from each species is different and no one pollen type can contain all the characteristics ascribed to "pollen" in general. Apart from these less orthodox explanations, certain empirical results have in the past been described for the effects of pollen on humans and animals.
Delayed onset muscle soreness Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), also called muscle fever, is the pain and stiffness felt in muscles several hours to days after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. The soreness is felt most strongly 24 to 72 hours after the exercise.[1] It is thought to be caused by eccentric (lengthening) exercise, which causes microtrauma to the muscle fibers. After such exercise, the muscle adapts rapidly to prevent muscle damage, and thereby soreness, if the exercise is repeated.[2] Delayed onset muscle soreness is one symptom of exercise-induced muscle damage. The other is acute muscle soreness, which appears during and immediately after exercise. Characteristics[edit] The soreness is perceived as a dull, aching pain in the affected muscle, often combined with tenderness and stiffness. Although there is variance among exercises and individuals, the soreness usually increases in intensity in the first 24 hours after exercise.

Acido Lactico ¿qué es el ácido láctico? El ácido láctico es un producto intermedio del metabolismo, principalmente del ciclo de los carbohidratos y deriva principalmente de las células musculares. (medinePlus Americana Acreditación HealthCare Commission, URAC: www.urac.com). El Ácido Láctico (C3 H6 O3) es una molécula monocarboxílica orgánica que se produce en el curso del metabolismo anaeróbico láctico (glucólisis anaeróbica). www.biolaster.com El lactato o ácido láctico, es un producto orgánico que ocurre naturalmente en el cuerpo de cada persona. www.entrenadoronline.com.ar Dejando de un lado temas que no nos interesan, como composición química, historia de sus descubrimientos o como se sintetiza artificialmente, nos centraremos (de forma ligera), en las interacciones que provoca según la acumulación que tengamos en la sangre.

Choosing Your Ropes To choose the proper rope for your needs, you need to consider: Jump Rope Styles Standard Speed Ropes Available in single (individual), double dutch and long rope lengths. High quality, smooth-turning ropes recommended for general purpose skipping. Speed Rope Advantages: Inexpensive, easy to adjust rope length, for all ages and ability levels Best all-purpose rope for instructors who work with several groups of varying ages (to quickly shorten a rope, just tie a knot or two in the cord below the handle and begin to jump). Speed Rope Disadvantages: Less visible than beaded ropes (for performing) Fitness and Training Speed Ropes Available in single (individual) rope lengths only. Using the same quality solid phthalate free vinyl cord, this variation of our standard speed rope features a new handle design for jumpers who prefer a larger grip, and thicker cord (30% heavier to increase turning resistance) for a more challenging workout. Fitness Rope Advantages: Long Handle (Freestyle) Speed Ropes
ATP: What Is It & Why Is It Important? For your muscles -- in fact, for every cell in your body -- the source of energy that keeps everything going is called ATP. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the biochemical way to store and use energy. The entire reaction that turns ATP into energy is a bit complicated, but here is a good summary: Because ATP is so important, the body has several different systems to create ATP. These systems work together in phases. The interesting thing is that different forms of exercise use different systems, so a sprinter is getting ATP in a completely different way from a marathon runner! ATP comes from three different biochemical systems in the muscle, in this order: Phosphagen system Glycogen-lactic acid system Aerobic respiration Now, let's look at each one in detail. Phosphagen System A muscle cell has some amount of ATP floating around that it can use immediately, but not very much -- only enough to last for about three seconds. Glycogen Lactic Acid System Aerobic Respiration Overview References:
How to use the Perceived Exertion Scale There are a variety of methods for determining exercise intensity levels. Common methods include the‘talk test’, the target heart rate range and the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). The following article, from the CDC, provides an explanation of the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Perceived exertion is how hard you feel your body is working. Practitioners generally agree that perceived exertion ratings between 12 to 14 on the Borg Scale suggests that physical activity is being performed at a moderate level of intensity. Through experience of monitoring how your body feels, it will become easier to know when to adjust your intensity. *A high correlation exists between a person's perceived exertion rating times 10 and the actual heart rate during physical activity; so a person's exertion rating may provide a fairly good estimate of the actual heart rate during activity (Borg, 1998).
