Muscle Atrophy Hampering Runners

By Rey Vetangelo


Heart disease is one of the most deadly issues that Americans face. Every year, there are millions of people who are diagnosed with this issue and have to live with the results.

Distance runners internalize mile lengths over long-distances. Whatever distance they rand before, they expect themselves to be able to run that distance again on a given day. There is a certain pride that comes from the speed or distance that they accomplish.

While there are always going to be expectations who find themselves facing this issue due to genetics, most of the population develops this issue as a result of lifestyle. Heart disease is most likely to happen as a combination of poor dietary choices and sedentary lifestyle.

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.

Electrosurgery machines give doctors an unprecedented amount of control with what they are doing, since they are wielding a tightly controlled arc of pure energy. With an electrosurgery machine, doctors can cut into soft tissue, as well as desiccating it or cauterizing it.

The sobering truth you have to realize is that when you do not work out for an extended period of time, you will not come back nearly as strong as you left. Your muscles go through atrophy when you don't use them.

Prevention is key to living a happier and longer life. People can quickly get better results if they are willing to implement good habits when it comes to their diet and exercise.

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.
