Patrick is a healthy 22-year-old adult male. According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, Patrick should participate in muscle-strengthening activities at least two days a week.

<h3>Why exercise is important?</h3>

Physical activity helps you strengthen your muscles and increase your stamina. Exercise helps your cardiovascular system perform more efficiently by delivering oxygen and nutrients to your tissues.

Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week, or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week, or a combination of the two, spread out throughout the week for muscle-strengthening.

Children should include muscle-strengthening physical activity on at least three days per week as part of their 60 minutes or more of daily physical activity.

At least two days a week, an adult should engage in muscle-strengthening activities.

Describe the osmotic gradient in the kidney and explain how the
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The osmotic gradient in the kidney typically in the medulla is a process that generates urine that is 5 times more concentrated so as to reduce the loss of water from the body.

The countercurrent multiplication is a process that uses energy to produce the osmotic gradient in the kidney, this process facilitates the reabsorption of water from the tubular fluid. This mechanism moves the sodium chloride from the tubular fluid to the interstitial space of the kidneys. The osmotic gradient can be developed in two ways:

1. The single effect: This involves the transport of sodium chloride from the tubular fluid and moved to the ascending limb then finally to the interstitial fluid. As a result of this, the water moves passively down to the concentration gradient out of the tubular fluid than to the descending limb of the interstitial space, until the equilibrium is achieved.  

2. Fluid flow method: The tubular fluid enters into the descending limb. This pushes the fluid into high osmolarity typically down the tube. This way the osmotic gradient develops.

Jeremy’s family just moved to Louisiana
ch4aika [34]

Jeremy is going with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which commonly thought to be the cause of muscle cramps. This is most evident factor when training in hot and humid conditions due to an increased loss of electrolytes through sweat.

Exercise associated muscle cramps are mainly treated with hydration and electrolyte supplementation but this could be neglecting the underlying cause of cramps during or after exercise. The most effective way of treating cramps before they affect body athletic performance is neuromuscular re-education.

What is neuromuscular re-education?

Neuromuscular re-education involves training weak, underactive muscles to help balance the work load..

Charle horse is type of a cramp which occurs when the muscle involuntarily contracts and cannot relax. The calves and thighs are two of the most common areas affected, although cramps can strike hands, arms, abdomen, and feet. They typically last from several seconds to a few minutes, and athletic person can often feel a knot when presses the painful area.
