The female bodybuilding image is a unique one. A combination of strength, sculpture like presentation, and a new aesthetic generate numerous reactions. Many questions arise related to women’s bodies and the female bodybuilder is no exception. The curiosity can range from diet, training, and the sports psychology related to athletes. The muscle on their bodies is impressive. The majority of people do not attain this shape. The developed muscular female physique is a new image of woman to history. The average woman does not look this. Which is why they are so special. Possibly in the distant future it will be more common. Prevalence would be welcome, but then it would lose its unique charm. As women become more involved in athletics and sports the muscular female physique is getting more exposure. It becomes of particular interest to sports science and anatomy. when it comes to women in sports more study is required. Sometimes research starts with pondering the unknown. The attributes of female muscle are noticeable. The flesh must have some feeling to it.
“What do female bodybuilders’ muscles feel like?“
The muscle of the female bodybuilder is harder and much more firm. The women of slim or heavier body type are much softer. How hard or soft the body can be is related to the muscle to fat ratio. Anyone who has touched muscle knows it can feel hard. The body and various materials have varying degrees of hardness. The investigation involves a study into mass, density, and matter.
Without even touching a female bodybuilder, one can tell that the muscle is hard. Under certain circumstances it could vary. The muscle can be harder when flexed. Technically, when some one flexes a muscle it is under going contraction. Applied to exercise this would be called isometric workouts. When relaxed in a non-flexing position, the muscle will not be as hard. A contrast could exist in both the off season and contest period. Fat levels are lower during a contest. That means the body could be slightly softer compared to a competition.
During competition adipose tissue is at its lowest level. That means muscle mass is higher making the body possibly harder than off season condition. The woman’s body in off season would still remain firm, with some fat. Muscle and fat are two different tissues. Neither can be changed into one another. Muscle does not turn into fat when a person stops exercising. The muscles reduce in size, which is atrophy from lack of use. Muscle is made from a combination of myocytes and muscle fibers. Training through resistance exercise can cause muscular hypertrophy. This describes the physiological process of muscle growth. If training is done for a number of years a certain degree of mass can be attained.
When this happens the body will feel harder. A person with a more endomorphic body type would be softer. The ectomorphic body type has limited muscle or fat mass. There is no difference in myocytes between the sexes. The structure and function is the same. The muscular system does not differ either. The hardness might differ related to amount. Men who also engage in the sport have higher muscle mass and density. Men have lower body fat levels in both contest and off season. Based on this, it can be said men would have harder muscles. Even though women have less their muscles are still capable of a good amount of strength generation. Type II muscle fiber still functions the same way in a female body. Women can build strong hard bodies through weightlifting exercise and diet.
A basic understanding of matter, mass, and density is required. Mass is not the same as weight. What this refers to is the total amount of matter inside an object. Weight documents the amount of gravitational force on an object. Matter is a name for substances that occupy a space. Atoms are the foundation of matter. It has been suspected the reason objects have mass is related to the Higgs boson. Atoms can form bonds which produce molecules. Physics describes four states of matter. This includes gases, liquids, solids, and plasma. The states of matter have various degrees of hardness. Our bodies are made of atoms and subatomic particles. These form the molecules resulting in cells. The cells form tissues, which are the basis of organs. The organs are party of systems in the human body. Blood for example is made of both solids and liquids. Blood plasma contains protein, water, and salts. As more becomes known about subatomic particles and molecules a greater understanding of matter is attained.
The human body has different levels of hardness. The hardest substance in the human body tooth enamel. Teeth are needed for mastication, which explains this anatomical attribute. The enamel consists of the dentin, cementum, and pulp. When measured according to the Mohs scale of hardness tooth enamel would be designated 5. The scale ranges from 1 to 10 and has been used by geologists and mineralogists for measuring hardness. Bones can also be designated a five. The assumption is that muscles would be stronger than bones. They do contribute to physical strength, but do not contain the hardest substances in the human body.
The skeletal system acts as the frame support for an organism. The bones have to support the muscles on the body. That is done through a network of ligaments and tendons. These structures are not as strong as tooth enamel in terms of hardness. Tendons link muscles to bones in your body. Ligaments focus on joints and keeping muscles in a certain area. The reason that ligaments and tendons are not as hard is for the sake of flexibility. To do complex movements it requires that these structures have some degree of elasticity. The teeth of humans were designed to accommodate consumption of an omnivorous diet.
There are multiple types of hardness scales that are used. The Vickers hardness test, Brinell scale, and Rosiwall scale are a few examples. The purpose for materials science is for assessing strength and durability of objects for engineering purposes. Application is not just for geology, petrology, or mineralogy. Civil engineers and architects can use hardness scales to determine the strongest materials for construction. Although a substance can be hard, it is not always the best building material. Diamonds are some of the hardest materials based on the Vickers hardness test. Using diamonds for buildings would not be practical based its reactions to temperature related to oxidation and cost. Bricks, wood, and steel are more practical. Human flesh cannot reach the level of hardness of steel or diamonds. Scientists have speculated that there is more super hard material in the universe. The problem is detecting it or getting access to other planets . Muscles can still be impressively strong as shown in sports competition.
