Answer:

Concentric muscle contraction is when a muscle fiber is shortened to generate force to move an object

Eccentric muscle contraction is the opposite of what concentric contraction is. For eccentric muscle contraction, the muscle is lengthening.

Isometric muscle contraction is when a muscle is activated, but instead of being allowed to lengthen or shorten, it is held at one constant length.

Which BEST explains why it is important to warm up before strenuous exercise?
zlopas [31]

B. As a cross country runner its very important to warm up before I run a marathon or a long distance run or just any run in general its always something I have to do. If your do the strenuous activity without warming up your muscles will be tight and will sort of go into shock. By warming up you are releasing tension in your muscles and ligaments and getting you blood flowing. In my experience I didn't warmup once before a half marathon and had to stop about a mile in because I tore my hamstring. It strained it right off the bat and kept getting worse just because I forgot to stretch! I hope this helps!

olga_2 [115]
Marasmus is a severe form of malnutrition, usually occurs in children in developing countries, can be life-threatening but can be treated. Preliminary diagnosis of marasmus, as done by the doctor above, is through physical examination. Weight and height of a particular child should be parallel to his/her age. Motion/mobility of the child/patient is also of consideration because those children with marasmus usually have lack energy to move. Blood tests, however, is not definitive because a malnourished child with marasmus wilol usually have many infection, hence, it will all show in his/her blood results. The main symptom of marasmus is being underweight and loss of lot of muscle mass and subcutaneous fats (fat under the skin). It is also accompanied by stunted growth, respiratory infection, chronic diarrhea and intellectual disability. Nutrient deficiency is main cause of marasmus. They are deficient in food rich in vitamins and minerals such as iron, iodine, zinc and Vitamin A. Initial treatment of marasmus is dried skim milk powder mixed with boiled water. Later on, vegetable oil like sesame, casein and sugar can be incorporated to increase energy content and density of the mixture. On his/her way to recovery, a more balanced diet is required. Rehydration through oral hydration is also a priority because of dehydration caused by diarrhea. Infections should also be treated by antibiotics.
