Muscle Energy, First Aid, and Injury Prevention Essentials
1. Define the Energy Contribution of the Body
The movement of the human body starts with muscle contraction, a process that requires energy. Therefore, our body needs different forms of energy supply. To provide energy, our bodies need nutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
2. What are the Necessary Nutrients to Obtain Muscle Energy?
- Sugars or carbohydrates are converted into glucose. If not used immediately, this glucose is stored in the liver as liver glycogen, in the muscle as muscle glycogen,
Common Sports Injuries: Diagnosis and Treatment
Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow)
Inflammation of the tendon on the lateral aspect of the elbow. Repeated contraction of forearm muscles strains tendon attachment points, often due to repetitive movements.
Causes
Excessive effort and repetitive motion in the lateral elbow area, common in activities like tennis.
Diagnosis
- Pain on the outside of the elbow.
- Localized pain with hand grip, wrist, or elbow extension movements.
- Pain during simple actions like lifting a bottle or cup.
- Decreased pain at night.
Treatment
Non-

First Aid Essentials
First aid involves simple procedures performed by individuals with basic medical knowledge to stabilize individuals in emergencies until professional medical care arrives.
Obtaining first aid training is crucial before facing any emergency situation.
Various situations may necessitate first aid, including:
- Automobile accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Fires
- Riots
- Drownings
- Natural disasters
- Industrial accidents
- Shootings
- Medical emergencies (stroke, seizures, convulsions)

Muscles, Bones, and Joints: Human Body Structure
Muscles
Muscles are the engines of movement. A muscle is a bundle of fibers, with contractility as its most prominent property. When a muscle receives the proper signal, the fibers contract, shortening and pulling the attached bone or structure. After completing the action, it returns to its resting position.
There are three types of muscle tissue:
- Striated or Skeletal Muscle
- Smooth Muscle
- Cardiac Muscle
Striated muscles are red, have fast twitch fibers, and are voluntary. They are inserted into bones
