Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

There are only 3 sites for intramuscular injections, most commonly the deltoid then the ventrogluteal, and lastly the vastus lateralis for infants. If the site is a "hard muscle" or when the muscle is in constant spasm, then an intramuscular injection should not be done. Other reasons why an intramuscular injection cannot be done on a specific site are (1) atrophied muscle on an emanciated patient (i.e. malnourished or cachectic patients), (2) skin infection overlying the muscle group, and (3) the dorsogluteal muscle as this can hit the sciatic nerve and cause paralysis and other neuropathy of the ipsilateral leg.

How would you use fast and slow twitch muscle fibres in a 1500m race?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Most runners don't think of themselves as muscle-bound.

That's a term reserved for football players, weight lifters, or Charles Atlas when he kicks sand in the face of a skinny runner on the beach.

But the reality is that the human body has more than 600 muscles. We runners use most of them. And training sessions designed to recruit and strengthen our running muscles are the key to achieving top fitness.
