To improve flexibility, stretching exercises are most productive when they are performed ________.

Biology

andrew-mc [135]3 years ago

Stretching exercises are most productive when done after the workout or exercise to improve flexibility. 

During workout or exercise, lactic acid builds up in a person's muscles, giving that feeling of soreness and fatigue. The muscles can stay in this "semi-contracted" state for hours. Stretching after exercise helps to reduce this soreness by increasing blood circulation, helping the muscles to recover faster. 

In addition, consistently working out and exercising may increase the growth of muscles but the connective tissue (fascia) does not grow as fast together with the muscle. This means that little by little, the muscles will eventually become compressed by the fascia as they continue to grow despite the slow rate of expansion of the fascia. Stretching can help expand the fascia to allow for more room for muscle growth, without negatively affecting a person's flexibility.

What was the average of diameters (cm) for the Willapa Bay urchins sampled before the hunt? (Type just the number rounded to the
Otrada [13]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete as the diameters of the Willapa Bay urchins were not given.

However, I'll give a general way to solve this problem.

Average is calculated using:

Average = \frac{\sum x}{n}

i.e. Sum of all diameters divided by the number of bay urchins.

The diameter of urchins is usually between 6cm to 12cm; So, I will assume the following diameters for 10 urchins.

10cm, 8cm, 10cm, 7cm, 9cm, 10cm, 6cm, 10cm,8cm, 8cm

Using the above data, the average is:

Average= \frac{10+8+10+7+9+10+6+10+8+8}{10}

Average= \frac{86}{10}

Average= 8.6

How would you argue that viruses are living things?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Viruses are complicated assemblies of molecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, but on their own they can do nothing until they enter a living cell. Without cells, viruses would not be able to multiply. Therefore, viruses are not living things
