What Is Glucose Balance or Blood Homeostasis?

The maintaining of normal blood glucose level by the body is called as blood homeostasis.

After a meal, the carbohydrates are mixed with various digestive enzymes which help to break down the carbohydrates into monosaccharides as glucose which are absorbed into the bloodstream. The bloodstream can hold about 1 hour of glucose for energy. When blood glucose level is more, then insulin hormone is secreted from the pancreas gland and its help to storage of glucose as glycogen in the skeletal muscles and liver. The muscles can store about 20 minutes of glycogen for energy which we will use during the workout. If Glucose levels are more and glycogen storage are full then the extra amount of glucose is converted to fat by the liver and stored in fat cells. There is really no limit to the amount of fat that a body can store. When blood glucose levels are low, then glucagon hormones are secreted from the pancreas gland and stimulate the conversion of glycogen to glucose.

Static Stretching

Static stretching consists of stretching a muscle (or a group of muscles) to its farthest point and then maintaining or holding that position for about 30 to 60 seconds. There is no bouncing or rapid movement. The person should feel a mild pulling sensation, but no pain. The stretch should be felt in the belly of the muscle and not the joints.

Introduction of Stretching

Introduction In any kind of exercise/sports, stretching is one of the first things to be implemented in the training program. It is considered one of the fundamental requirements, which must be acquired before getting involved with more sports specific work. Even more, mobility work has become so important that every sport has adopted its own specific stretching regime. Since injuries place a person "out of practice" for a considerable amount of time, they indirectly influence performance. Therefore, the lower the risk of injury, the better the ultimate performance will be. Several studies have found a significant relationship between stretching and injury prevention.
