Severe muscle cramping;
reduced muscle mass
Result
Extreme Hydration
Hyponatremia
Imbalance of water and sodium
Water retention
Vegan Diet
Restricted intake of vital nutrients
Hormonal disruption
Interferes with normal regulation
of many body systems
Malnutrition
Reduced functioning of digestive system
Decreased iron and zinc levels
Anemia
Less oxygen
content in blood
Excessive Training
Rhabdomyolysis
Overall fatigue of body systems
Affected

Cardiovascular
Remodeling and thickening
of heart wall
Increased risk of
heart attack and stroke
Reproductive
Lower testosterone
levels
Decreased
libido
Skeletal
Overuse increases

Muscles
Molecules
ATP Production
Glycolysis
Breakdown of glucose into
two pyruvate molecules
Occurs in cytosol;
with/without oxygen
Produces less ATP,
but more rapidly
Aerobic Cellular
Respiration
Oxidation of variety
of nutrients
Occurs in mitochondria
with oxygen
Produces greater
amounts of ATP
Creatine Phosphate
Present in tissues with both large and fluctuating energy needs
Transferred to ADP to form ATP
Provides additional 10-15 seconds
of energy during maximum exertion
Lactate Formation
Produced from pyruvate with
low oxygen availability
Accumulation causes
muscle pain
Changes During
Intense Exercise
More effective production of
ATP through aerobic cellular respiration
Medium length run
Creatine phosphate transfer
and glycolysis
Long run
Creatine phosphate, glycolysis,
and aerobic cellular respiration
Short sprint
ATP supplied by transfer of
creatine phosphate
Calcium pump
Embedded in
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Function through
primary active transport
Move calcium ions from cytosol
to sarcoplasmic reticulum
Maintains low cytosol
levels of calcium
Muscle Cell
Contraction
Sarcolemma, T-tubules, & Sarcoplasmic
Reticulum: Excitation-Contraction Coupling
Development of an end-plate
potential (EEP) at the motor end plate
Sodium rapidly diffuses into and
potassium diffuses out of the muscle fiber
Initiation and propagation of an action potential along sarcolemma and T-tubules
Sodium channels open for depolarization;
potassium channels open for repolarization
Release of calcium from the
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Action potential is propagated along T-tubules;
calcium release channels open
Sarcomere: Crossbridge
Coupling
Calcium binding
Creates conformational change in troponin
Reset myosin head
ATP is split into ADP and phosphate
Crossbridge formation
Myosin heads bind to actin
Power stroke
Releases ADP and phosphate
Release of myosin head
ATP binds to myosin head
Neuromuscular Junction: Excitation
of a Skeletal Muscle Fiber
Release of ACh
from synaptic knob
Calcium binding triggers synaptic
vesicles to merge with synaptic knob
Calcium entry at
synaptic knob
Nerve signal is propagated
down motor axon and triggers entry
Binding of ACh to ACh
receptor at motor end plate
ACh diffuses across synaptic cleft
to bind with ACh receptors
Muscle
Fatigue
Affected
Physiological Events
Excitation at neuromuscular junction
Insufficient free calcium ions a NMJ
to enter synaptic knob
Limit the ability of somatic motor neurons to stimulate skeletal muscle
Decreased number of synaptic
vesicles to release neurotransmitter
Excitation-contraction coupling
Change in ion concentration
Interferes with ability to conduct
action potential
Interferes with release of calcium ions
from sarcoplasmic reticulum
Crossbridge cycling
Increased phosphate
ion concentration
Interferes with phosphate release
from myosin head
Slows rate of cycling
Decreased amounts of calcium
ions for release
Less calcium ion binding
to troponin
Reduces crossbridge formation
Weakens muscle contraction
Cause
Decrease in glycogen stores
Reduces ability or disables the skeletal muscle from producing muscle tension
Anatomy

bundled together
Myofiber
Skeletal muscle cell
Muscle
A single muscle composed of
thousands of cells
Myoblasts

myosin protein molecules
Thick
Composed of two strands of
actin protein

surrounds each fascicle
Provides protection and
support each muscle fiber bundle
Endomysium
Areolar connective tissue;
surrounds each muscle fiber
Electrically insulates the
muscle fibers
