Essays on Gastrocnemius

Movement Assessment is an exercise that aims to assess dynamic flexibility, the structural alignment of the whole body and bilateral standing stance neuromuscular control. To squat properly one requires having the best possible knees, ankles and hips mobility. It is in knowing compensation that we can determine the underactive and overactive muscles. Form this interventions can then be determined. In case of probable overactive muscles the possible interventions include static stretching, self-myofascial release and neuromuscular stretching all of which are flexibility exercises. The muscles involved in performing squats include quadriceps, gluteus maximus, adductor magnus, soleus, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, erector spinae, ...

Posture analysis can be referred to as an evaluation of person's posture in search of signs of injuries, and poor habits of posture that can result in trauma in the future. In a set up of a clinic, such evaluations of a patient can be important for determination of the sources of postural strain as well as development of a suitable program of treatment. This technique may as well be applied for things such as assisting a person grow a more ergonomic workspace, right athletic shoes, and so on (Toronto Chiropracter, 2013). There has been carried out an extensive study on human posture in ...

1. Principle of specificity: only the muscles trained will respond. a. Provide a concrete example of the principle of specificity to athletics/sports preparation, personal fitness training, or rehabilitation. 2 points. Specifity is the change that occurs in the body as a result of training. Specificity in athletics comes in when the athlete trains repeatedly performing specific activities in preparation for the exact requirements of a sport. Distant runners require doing exercises that would make them adapt to sustained running. On the other hand, throwers need to train in a way to build up their muscles in size and thickness in order to ...

A condition affecting the system of veins in legs with venous hypertension resulting in different pathologies that involve swelling, ulcerations, pain, skin changes, and edema is called chronic venous insufficiency (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). It is necessary to understand normal venous function and anatomy to analyze the venous insufficiencies pathology. The peripheral venous system serves as a conduit returns blood into the heart and as a reservoir where blood is stored. Appropriate operation of the peripheral venous system is dependent on a series of muscle pumps and valves (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). Blood entering the venous system of lower extremities has ...
