Care and Prevention
Degrees of Injuries
1. Tears = separation of bellies/detached
from bone, dislocation (out of joint tears
surrounding muscle)
 2. Sprain = awkward turn (joint) causing
ligament damage, can become chronic
 3. Pull = severe strain-some bleeding,
swelling
 4. Strain = overuse, bad form in exercise,
sudden motion, overexertion
 5. Bruise = breaking of blood vessels

R.I.C.E.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation
Scar Tissue
 Forms on
many
mended
muscles that
have been
injured. It
will hinder
flexibility and
movement if
pampered!
Body Types
I.
Endomorph-soft,chubby
II.
Ectomorph-lean,skinny
Mesomorph-muscular,
shorter, stocky
Can have a combo of all 3
Genetic, but can be changed
to a point
III.
Muscle Recruitment
I. Amount of weight
one can lift is
determined by 3
factors:
1. How much fiber
you are able to
recruit
2. How strong and
dense the fibers
are
3. The efficiency of
your technique
II. Muscles get nutrients from food through oxidation
Fueling muscle with proper fuel is essential for max performance
Red and White Fibers
White
Fast twitch-generally
found in sprinters,
tennis players, etc
Red
Slow twitch-line men,
long distance,
endurance
(Red and White are
hereditary)
