FUEL UTILIZATION BY MUSCLE ADAPTATION TO EXERCISE AND TRAINING... 

The body will do what it needs in order to acquire and store energy. Muscle tissue itself,however, is energetically expensive to maintain Even at rest,your skeletal muscles consume about 25 percent of your energy.Thus, it is not in your body s interest to have more muscle mass than it needs. For this reason, our muscles adapt. If we exercise a lot, our muscles become bigger and stronger. Conversely, muscles wither away without exercise—a fully immobilized muscle loses about one-third of its mass within weeks. From personal experience we know that muscles are responsive to use. But how is this accomplished Why is it that when you exercise your muscles get stronger and when you don t they get weaker The answer is that exer-...

The particular anatomical characteristics common to almost all birds are (i) presence of feathers, (ii) lack of teeth, (iii) bipedism, (iv) a bone structure which is specially adapted for flight, and (v) the specialisation of the fore limbs for flight, including strong pectoral muscles. Adaptation of the bone structure involves both the fusion of certain bones, e.g. the pelvis and...
