Types of Muscle Contractions – The Push and Pull of Movement

Muscles work by contracting, and there are several types of contractions that dictate how we move. Each type serves a unique purpose and plays a crucial role in different activities. Concentric Contraction: This is when a muscle shortens while generating force. For...

How Muscles Work Together in Movement

The human body is a masterpiece of collaboration. Muscles don’t work alone; they function as part of a team to produce smooth, coordinated movement. Each muscle plays a specific role, and understanding these roles can help us move more efficiently and prevent injury....

Muscle Functions – The Power of Teamwork

Muscles are the body’s unsung heroes, working behind the scenes to keep us upright, moving, and functioning. But not all muscles play the same role. Some are designed to work tirelessly throughout the day (tonic muscles), while others spring into action for short...

Did You Know Your Breathing Habits Could Be Reshaping Your Face?

The Impact of Breathing Biases, Lateralization, and Neuromuscular Asymmetry on Jaw Structure and Craniofacial Development Understanding how asymmetry in human physiology contributes to breathing dysfunction, craniofacial misalignment, and systemic health issues, and...

Glenohumeral and Scapulothoracic Rhythms

Central Theme: The glenohumeral rhythm and scapulothoracic rhythm are coupled actions essential for coordinated shoulder movement. These rhythms involve precise biomechanics in the kinetic and kinematic chains of the upper body and align with respiratory and gait...

Running VS Cross Country Skiing

Running and cross-country skiing, two diverse forms of aerobic exercise, exhibit remarkable differences in how they engage muscle groups and orchestrate biomechanical processes. Delving into these distinctions not only unveils the distinct benefits and challenges...
