Cartilage
Cartilage is the main type of connective tissue seen throughout the body. It serves a variety of structural and functional purposes and exists in different types throughout our joints, bones, spine, lungs, ears and nose
Isotonic Contraction
This is a contraction in which movement does take place, because the tension generated by the contracting muscle exceeds the load on the muscle. This occurs when you use your muscles to successfully push or pull an object. Example: From Hasta utthatasana to padahastasana and bridge to chakrasana. In this pose, muscle extend and then shorten while bending.
Isometric Contraction
This is a contraction in which no movement takes place, because the load on the muscle exceeds the tension generated by the contracting muscle. This occurs when a muscle attempts to push or pull an immovable object. Example: Plank pose. In this pose the muscles are working, but not actively changing lengths.
anaerobic exercise and hatha yoga practices.
Anaerobic is performed in the absence of oxygen at a maximal intensity that can only be sustained for a short period of time due to the build up of lactic acid, e.g. sprinting. This happens without oxygen, fuel comes from muscle storage and is short, highly intense and burns fat directly. On the other hand, With the hatha yoga practice, you move your body slowly, deliberately using appropriate breathing into different poses that challenge your strength and flexibility, while at the same time focusing on relaxation and mindfulness.
aerobic exercise and hatha yoga practices.
Aerobic exercise is performed in the presence of oxygen at a submaximal intensity over a prolonged period of time, e.g. rowing. Yoga is necessary to control and regulate breath, which is related to prana flow. Aerobics puts pressure on your joints and can increase the risk of joint injuries. On the other hand, yoga strengthens the bones and joints.
anaerobic hatha yoga.
Anaerobic is performed in the absence of oxygen (It uses carbohydrate and minimal oxygen) at a maximal intensity that can only be sustained for a short period of time due to the build-up of lactic acid, e.g. sprinting. This happens without oxygen, fuel comes from muscle storage and is short, highly intense and burns fat directly. Example is weightlifting.
Aerobic hatha yoga
Aerobic yoga is a style of yoga in which the asanas — yoga postures — are sequenced together much faster than they ordinarily would be, in order to get the heart pumping and offer cardiovascular benefits. This takes place with oxygen where carbohydrate and oxygen are used as fuel for the first two minutes after which fat is burned. These are lower intensity activities. Dynamic sequences of Sun Salutation can be regarded as aerobic exercises.
Fast twitch muscle fiber (type -2), with hatha yoga practices
Fast twitch muscle fiber (type -2), with hatha yoga practices. These are designed for anaerobic exercise and produces large amount of force in a very short time, as they fatigue easily. Performers in power events tend to have a high percentage of fast twitch muscle fibres. Example, Vinyasa
slow twitch muscle fiber (type -1), with respective hatha yoga style.
slow twitch muscle fiber (type -1), with respective hatha yoga style. A type of muscle fibre associated with aerobic work. It produces a small force over a long period of time: high resistance to fatigue. It is suited to endurance-based activities, e.g., marathon running. Example, traditional hatha yoga (Sivananda & Iyengar)
How muscles are communicating towards brain.
The motor neurons release a chemical, which is picked up by the muscle fibre. This tells the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move. Neurons carry messages from the brain via the spinal cord. These messages are carried to the muscles which tell the muscle fibre to contract, which makes the muscles move.
