Objective is to complete as many curl-ups as possible up to a maximum of 75 at a specified pace. ... When performing the curl up students need to get their backs up off the mat far enough so that their fingertips cross the measuring strip.
The second line of defence is a group of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body. This is the immune system.
When a pathogen (disease-causing organism) invades the body, the neutrophils gather at the entry site and try to engulf it and destroy it.
A T helper cell will recognise only one pathogen. If the T helper cell recognises the invader, it will immediately clone to increase numbers.
After a few days of fighting off the pathogen, you will recover from your infection.
Answer:
When skeletal muscles are trained by adding physical stress to them, this is called progressive resistance training (PRT).
Explanation:
During PRT, muscles are exercised against an <em>overload or resistance</em>; the overload is gradually increased in order to allow muscles to adapt. This allows for progressive strength increases over time.
Muscle fatigue is defined as a reduction in the ability to produce force due to exercise. This comprises:
- peripheral fatigue- due to changes at the junction between motor neurons and the muscle.
- central fatigue- caused by a reduced capacity to use voluntary force in relation to the capacity to use involuntary force
- and muscle damage- this is associated with several issues at the cellular level such as disrupted membranes and cytoskeletons; and tissue damage via torn muscle fibers, and collagen.
Overall, these may affect muscle fiber activation and the amount of force they are capable of producing- i.e. sustained strength. However, muscle fatigue can be greatly reduced via the maintenance of PRT. Also, apart from strength gains, PRT is <em>used for weight loss and muscle building</em>; common tools used in PRT include <em>free weights, elastic bands and exercise machines. </em>

Rohypnol users often describe its effects as “paralyzing.” The effects start twenty to thirty minutes after taking the drug, peak within two hours and may persist for eight or even twelve hours. A person can be so incapacitated (made unable to act) they collapse. They lie on the floor, eyes open, able to observe events but completely unable to move. Afterwards, memory is impaired and they cannot recall any of what happened.
The person experiences loss of muscle control, confusion, drowsiness and amnesia.
