Glucose + Oxygen = Energy to Contract and produce heat Glucose: stored in the muscles as glycogen Oxygen: used to burn glucose into energy Glucose + O2 = Energy for contraction and heat
7
Waste Products produced are CO2 and Water Carbon Dioxide and Water: waste products from the production of energy for muscles Lactic Acid: causes the “burn” in muscles from a lack of oxygen (Without O2, glucose breaks down into lactic acid)
8
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Muscle Cramps – spontaneous, often painful muscle contractions Cause – prolonged exercise or dehydration Treatment – stretch, ice, fluid
9
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Strain / Tear – a painful injury that involves the tearing of muscle fibers Cause – traumatic injury or overuse Treatment – rest and ice
10
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Tendinitis – inflammation of a tendon Cause – injury, overuse or aging Treatment – proper warm up, avoid overuse, ice
11
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Shin Splints – pain in the front of the lower leg from overuse Cause – overuse Treatment – Rest, proper warm up of muscle group
12
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Hernia – a hole or tear in the abdominal wall Cause – overuse Treatment – surgery
13
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Muscular Dystrophy – a disorder characterized by muscle weakness and loss of tissue Cause – inherited Treatment – no cure, therapy slows the muscle loss
14
Muscle Injuries and Diseases: Contusion – a bruised muscle Cause – a direct blow or repeated blows from an outside force on a muscle Treatment - R.I.C.E.

RICE Method Rest: Protect the injured area from further harm by stopping play. You may also use a protective device (i.e., crutches, sling). Ice: Apply ice wrapped in a clean cloth. (Remove ice after 20 minutes.) Compression: Lightly wrap the injured area in a soft bandage or ace wrap. Elevation: Raise it to a level above the heart
