PDF : Bodybuilding Anaerobic Exercise & Respiration, Muscular Growth and Supplement Intake
Exercise (essentially any form of physical exertion which results in the
contraction of a muscle) has become a widespread interest over the past several years,
especially in areas of weight training. While exercise is generally intended to promote
good physical health, bodybuilding more specifically concentrates on building muscle
mass and many individuals in society today begin bodybuilding to present a good image
of themselves. Many different companies have grasped on to this concept of muscle
mass growth and have formulated products which can enhance the process of muscle
enlargement. For example, creatine monohydrate, a product advertised to “boost muscle
size and strength” and “improve athletic performance”, is available over the counter and
has become a popular consumer good over the past couple years despite a lack of
extensive research in to its effect (especially long-term) on the human body.
