Muscle Atrophy Hampering Runners

By Rey Vetangelo


Runners thrive off a certain pride that comes from accomplishing certain feats. Sprinters remember well the fastest they have ever run a mile; they also remember their normal running speed.

Heart disease brings with it limited mobility, limited ability to function, a general decrease in comfort and wellbeing, and a much shortened lifespan. Heart disease is an epidemic, and it is one which is largely preventable.

Should the runner move any slower or run any shorter than what they have come to expect, they beat themselves up and try pushing to reach their goals.It is a dangerous thing to do. When you push yourself too hard, you could seriously injure yourself, which could lead to electro surgery.

First, when you are smoking you will find that this habit often slows your healing process. The healing process is often integral to ensuring that you can minimize the visibility of scars and it is important that you stop smoking when you want to get rid of your scars.

Whoever they are, take their advice with a grain of salt. Your body can only take so much. Although it is true that you have to tear down your muscles to rebuild them again, burning them to a crisp is not the best way to improve yourself physically. This becomes a huge problem for runners who take month long breaks.

While medical advances have given us more options than ever for how we can deal with such issues, it is always better to not have to implement them. For example, the field of surgery has greatly benefitted from the implementation of electrosurgery machines.

They had spent weeks, months or years building up to their level and their body was used to it. Their slow build up to strength kept them from electro surgery because they were slowly building themselves up, taking a little pain at a time, pushing through mental barriers.

These technological advances have made it so that the trauma sustained during surgery is minimized and that patients are able to get through the process with a minimum of risk. That beign said, even electrosurgery presents risk to those who are facing the effects of heart disease.

Atrophy begins as quickly as four days after your last workout. Within less than a week, you begin deteriorating.

When you find that you are worried about your scar, you should discuss this worry with your doctor. Follow what your doctor says and ensure that you are keeping in touch with your doctor about the progress that you and your scar are making.

If you enjoy running but take a break for a while, do not expect yourself to run at the same intensity as you did before. Realize that your muscles have undergone such a change, that they cannot handle the challenge that you are presenting to them.

When it all comes down to it, it is up to the individual to take the initiative to live healthier. Modern medicine is more advanced than ever, but it cannot replace the simple habits that you utilize in order to be as healthy as they can be.
