Athlete Interview
Interview With Bryant Westbrook, Former NFL Player (DET, DAL, GB)
On how muscle condition affects athletic ability, Getting in the weight room, conditioning your muscles
helps prevent you from, especially playing football, helps to prevent injuries.
On how to train to combat muscular injuries, It takes a thousand reps to condition the mind. You just cant
do it one day. You have to continuously do something on a regular basis in order to help and affect your
body.
On how to improve performance in football, I think its work ethic, it all boils down to work ethic, it all boils
down to work ethic. Having a great mindset, working hard, trying to outwork the next person Thats what
gets you over the top to success and become great at whatever you want to do.
Researcher Interview
Interview With Girish C. Melkani PhD, SDSU - Research Assistant Professor
On the current project he is working on, Understanding of the impact of daily rhythms on cardiac and
skeletal muscle physiology, circadian rhythm, nutrition, sleep, obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic
disorders.
On tips to improve health, function, and mobility, Maintenance of daily feeding/fasting rhythms improves
cardiac and skeletal muscle function and dysregulation of metabolic rhythms is associated with obesity,
diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Exercise and other physical activity also useful to keep muscular
system healthy.
On future interests and goals, My long-term research interest lies in understanding how genes and lifestyle
interact in determining predisposition toward cardiac, muscle and other metabolic diseases. To improve
health span associated with age, muscular system and cardiometabolic diseases.
Reflection
- How did these squat types compare? How were they different?
- Was the isometric squat or the moving squat more painful?
- Do these squat types use different muscles?
Muscles rip apart when stretched to grow longer lasting muscle genes
Type I muscles tire out, Type II muscles kick in for short amount of time
Final Facts
-
Most enduring muscles: outer eye muscles, most strength: masseter (jaw)
Over the human lifespan, the cardiac muscle type does the most work
