    MUSCULAR
    FITNESS
    muscular fitness

    pertains to the general health, strength,


    and endurance of the muscles.
    having muscles that can lift heavier
    objects or muscles that will work longer
    before becoming exhausted.
    COMPONENTS OF
    MUSCULAR FITNESS

    MUSCULAR STRENGTH- the ability of


    the muscle to exert force for a short
    period;

    MUSCULAR ENDURANCE- the ability


    of the muscle to perform many
    repetitions for an extended period.
    TWO WAYS TO
    MEASURE
    MUSCULAR
    DYNAMIC STRENGTH - is the
    STRENGTH
    measure of the maximum weight
    that can be lifted once.

    STATIC STRENGTH- is the


    measure of the maximum force
    that can be applied to an
    unmoving object, such as a wall.
    WAY ON HOW TO
    MEASURE
    MUSCULAR
    ENDURANCE

    ISOMETRIC ENDURANCE- is when a


    person can hold a certain weight with
    no movement or repetition for longer
    periods.
    Muscular strength and endurance improve when muscle fibers
    grow stronger, new muscles are formed, and the supply of
    oxygen to the muscles becomes more efficient.

    A muscle is made up of many bundles of muscle fibers or fascicle and is


    covered by layers of connective tissues that hold the fibers together. This
    is made of smaller protein structures called myofibrils. These myofibrils
    are composed of a series of contractile unit called sarcomeres, whisch are
    made up of largely of actin and myosin molecules.
    two classifications
    of muscle fibers
    SLOW-TWITCH FIBERS -this kind of muscle fibers generates more fuel
    more efficiently for continiuous and extended contractions. And
    focused on sustained, smaller movements and postural control.

    FAST-TWITCH FIBERS- generate short bursts of speed or strength.


    These kind of muscle fibers is important to sprinters because of its
    ability to fire more rapidly and generate a lot of force.

    Through exercise the fibers may increase in size as well as in the number of
    myofibrils. this development is called hypertrophy. On the other hand,
    muscle inactivity can result in atrophy or loss of muscle tissue.
    tips on how
    to improve
    muscle
    fitness
    Guidelines in doing
    strength training
    program safely and
    effectively

    Always be in proper form.


    Avoid lower body exercises with weight if you just
    had hip or knee injury. Before you proceed with
    your program, consult your doctor and ask for
    clearance.
    When using free weights, aim for smooth, steedy
    motions. Do not jerk weight into position.
    Stop if you feel pain.
    Do not lock your joint. keep your elbow and knee
    joints slightly bent while exercising as locked joints
    may cause injury in the joints and tendons.
    benefits of
    strength training

    It boosts the strength of muscles, tendons, and


    ligaments.
    It increases bone density and reduces the risk of
    osteoporosis.
    it develops lean muscle mass that contributes to
    healthy body weight.
    It enhances cooerdination and agility, which can
    help prevent falls.
    It improves mental health and reduces the risk of
    depression. It also lessens the chance of having
    insomia.
    Answer the following
    questions:
    1. In your own words, discuss the guidelines in doing strength
    training and explain each briefly.

    2. Among the benefits of strength training, which one is the most


    important to you and why?

    you!!
