Stretching for the Jiu Jitsu

Flexibility is of utmost importance in the sport of Jiu-Jitsu.

It reduces the risk of joint, muscle, and connective tissue injuries by providing stability, preventing tendons or ligaments from tearing and improving circulation and performance.

Stretching enhances the range of motion and promotes nutrient supply and muscle waste removal.

The Importance of Squat

The Squat is one of the exercises that is performed the most frequently. The squat is biomechanically and neuromuscularly related to various other athletic actions. It is typically included as a foundational exercise in many different sports routines that aim to improve athletic performance. The Squat is usually regarded as the peak of lower-body strength competitions because of its demanding nature. The Squat is widely regarded as one of the most effective exercises for enhancing the quality of life because it works for several different muscle groups in a single movement

Concentric and Eccentric Contractions

Concentric and Eccentric Contractions

All forms of muscular contractions rely on the activation of motor units.

When a force is applied to a muscle, it exceeds the instantaneous force produced by that muscle.

The muscle-tendon system is forced to extend while contracting, resulting in an eccentric (lengthening) muscle contraction.

During an eccentric contraction, more force is generated. The muscle absorbs the energy generated by an external load during this process.

Motoneurons

The human central nervous system's reactivity can change dramatically with exercise,

Motoneurons are integrative transducers

Axons in larger motoneurons have greater spike amplitudes and faster conduction velocities.

Vascular and Cardiac response to acute aerobic exercise

physical activity can be utilized as a non-pharmacological technique to minimize the risks.

Exercise boosts cardiac output and blood pressure in the short term, but people who have adapted to exercise have a lower resting heart rate and less cardiac hypertrophy.

Coagulation and Fibrinolysis

Coagulation and Fibrinolysis

Hemostasis is the body's natural response to a bleed-inducing injury.

Platelets and endothelial cells produce large plasma protein von Willebrand factor (vWF),

These messengers increase vascular spasm and platelet aggregation, which reduces bleeding and aids in blood clotting.

Plasminogen activator factors are produced by endothelial tissue when are stimulated by cytokines and hormones. The process of fibrinolysis starts about two days after the injury and lasts several days until the clot has dissolved

Composition of blood and the cardiac cycle

Formed elements and the plasma.

The cardiac cycle is comprised of two very distinct phases, the systole, and the diastole, the contraction and the relaxation of the heart.

Heart valves play a very important role in the cardiac cycle.

the heart relies on the electrical impulses of the conduction system which is part of the autonomic nervous system.

Vasoconstriction and Vasodilation control. Laminar and turbulent blood flow

blood flow is determined by the vascular tone.

vasoconstriction and vasodilation, this mechanism directs blood flow resistance, gradient, and pressure

mechanism of vasoconstriction and vasodilation

Blood flow depends on resistance, blood viscosity, and anatomic structure of blood vessels

Blood in vessels moves at a different speed due to laminar flow.

the outermost layer, closest to the blood vessel wall, is motionless.

Educational Program on Moderate Intensity Activity Leading to a Significant Weight Loss in Sedentary People

Physical activity for weight loss is an essential tool.

Sedentary life and increased body weight may lead to overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension (HT), muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, and joint pain. Physical activity and nutrition regimens may help people live healthier lives, so proper education is fundamental
