Muscle fitness means having muscles that can lift heavier objects or muscles that will
work longer before becoming exhausted. Muscle fitness improves when a person does activities
that build or maintain muscles (strength) or that increase how long a person can use his or her
muscles (endurance).
Isometric – muscle action when tension is produced but there is no change in the length
of the muscle (ie., hand grip dynometer)
Isotonic – muscle action in which a muscle shortens or lengthens with varying tension
and velocity while overcoming a constant resistance throughout ROM (ie., bench press)
warm up and cool down - Before beginning any sort of physical activity, it’s crucial to
spend 10-20 minutes warming up
stretch - Spending 10-15 minutes stretching your main muscle groups can drastically
muscle tears.
Diet - What you eat greatly impacts the health of your muscles.
Hydrate - Staying hydrated is important for overall health, including blood flow, kidney
function, and digestive functions.
Exercise - Exercise is very important for maintaining muscle health.
