Just a reminder…

This might not look like much, but I’m very proud of it.

This train of thought will likely be the next three years of my life as I go through the process of bringing this idea to life.

The goal is to study the effects of fascia on skeletal muscular growth and development. To the best of my knowledge, this has never been looked at. We know that fascia has influences on the dispersement of mechanical load during activity. We know that mechanical loading influences the health and development of the fascia. But what we could also be asking is whether or not the state of the fascia directly (or indirectly) affects the growth and development of skeletal muscle through neurological signaling and/or endocrinological factors.

Some info I’ve been going through this week as I research possible reasons for chronic and extreme muscular fatigue, particularly in quadriceps brought on by high-intensity exertion.

For those of you who might have seen the Whiteboard Session last week discussing the effects of exercise on the immune system, these two articles were what I was referring to during that video.

The graphics attached are taken from the first article. The first references the overreaching and overtraining aspects of immunological impact from exercise.

The second graphic shows which immune markers were impacted, how significantly, and what version of training resulted in those changes.
