Energy Equation
Balance between calories consumed and calories burned
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
The calories your body needs to maintain basic body functions while at total rest
Influences on BMR
Gender: males due to larger organs, blood volume etc.
Muscle Mass: muscles require calories to maintain but fat does not
Age: age 12-25 has the highest calories use due to growth
Height: taller people have more bone mass to supply with calories
Weight: more body mass overall will need more calories to maintain
Genetics: you will burn and store calories at a rate and pattern that is genetically determined
Set point theory
you will burn and store calories at a rate and pattern that is genetically determined
Physical Activity
any activity burns calories but the heavier you are, the more calories you burn

How muscles are controlled:
- Sense that movement needs to happen (procieptars and 5 senses)
- Signal is sent to spinal cord (sensory/afferent nerves)
- Signal goes up spinal cord to brain (internerons), brain decides which muscles to activate, signal goes back down (internerons)
- Signal travels to specific muscles (motor nerves/efferent nerves)
- Muscles contract
How muscles contract
- The signal gets to the end of the motor nerve but CANT get to the muscle because of a space between them called the neuromuscular junction
- The motor nerves releases acetylcholine (ACh) to travel across the space
- When ACh reaches cell membrane (sacrolemma), it causes them to react with calcium
- Calcium let’s Actin + myosin strips bind together to shorten muscles
- In order for actin + myosin to release and the muscle to relax, energy from food (ATP) is needed
Tendon

Muscle Belly
Central part of muscle

heavier an object, the harder to pick up speed
Newtons 3rd Law
objects move with equal & opposite reaction to force applied
