Human Muscles, Joints, and Performance

This episode unpacks the roles of tendons, ligaments, and joints in maintaining stability and movement, while addressing common joint disorders like osteoarthritis. We detail muscle contraction biophysics and energy systems, and evaluate how exercise impacts fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers. Along the way, you’ll discover how physiological adaptations shape performance and why regular exercise matters.

Foundations of the Human Body Systems

This episode provides an overview of human anatomy and physiology through the lens of key systems essential for life. Dive into how homeostasis regulates balance, the integumentary system's protective role, and the skeletal system's structural importance. Learn about feedback mechanisms, the skin's layers, and bone remodeling to understand how our body maintains health and adapts to changes.
