1. Skeletal and Muscular Systems | 骨骼与肌肉系统
The human skeleton provides support, protection of vital organs, mineral storage, blood cell production, and attachment points for skeletal muscles. Major bones include the femur, tibia, humerus, and vertebrae. The structural arrangement of bones and joints creates lever systems that amplify force or speed of movement.
人体骨骼提供支撑、保护重要器官、储存矿物质、生成血细胞，并为骨骼肌提供附着点。主要骨骼包括股骨、胫骨、肱骨和椎骨。骨骼与关节的结构排列形成杠杆系统，用以放大力量或动作速度。
Joints are classified as fibrous (immovable), cartilaginous (slightly movable), and synovial (freely movable). Synovial joints—such as hinge, ball-and-socket, and pivot—enable the wide range of movements seen in sport. Bursae, synovial fluid, and articular cartilage reduce friction and absorb shock.
关节分为纤维关节（不动）、软骨关节（微动）和滑膜关节（自由活动）。滑膜关节——例如屈戌关节、球窝关节和车轴关节——使运动中的多方向动作成为可能。滑囊、滑液和关节软骨可减少摩擦并缓冲震动。
Muscles work in pairs across joints: the agonist (prime mover) contracts while the antagonist relaxes. Contraction types include isotonic (concentric, eccentric), isometric, and isokinetic. Planes of movement (sagittal, frontal, transverse) and axes (frontal, sagittal, vertical) describe the direction of motion.
肌肉跨关节成对工作：主动肌收缩时，拮抗肌放松。收缩类型包括等张收缩（向心、离心）、等长收缩和等速收缩。运动平面（矢状面、额状面、横切面）和运动轴（额状轴、矢状轴、垂直轴）描述了动作方向。
2. Cardiorespiratory Responses to Exercise | 心肺系统对运动的反应
The cardiovascular system delivers oxygen and nutrients while removing waste products. The heart’s pumping efficiency is measured by cardiac output (Q), defined as the volume of blood ejected per minute. This is expressed as:
心血管系统运输氧气和营养物质，清除代谢废物。心脏泵血效率用心输出量 (Q) 衡量，即每分钟泵出的血量。公式为：
Q = HR x SV
During exercise, heart rate (HR) and stroke volume (SV) both increase. Trained individuals exhibit resting bradycardia and cardiac hypertrophy, enabling a higher SV and more efficient oxygen delivery.
运动时心率 (HR) 和每搏输出量 (SV) 均增加。受过训练的人会出现静息性心搏徐缓和心脏肥大，从而提高每搏输出量，更高效地运输氧气。
The respiratory system governs gas exchange. Minute ventilation (VE) is calculated as:
呼吸系统负责气体交换。每分通气量 (VE) 的计算为：
VE = TV x f
Tidal volume (TV) and breathing frequency (f) rise with exercise intensity. The oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right during exercise due to increased temperature, CO₂, and acidity—the Bohr effect—facilitating oxygen release to working muscles.
潮气量 (TV) 与呼吸频率 (f) 随运动强度而上升。运动时因体温升高、CO₂ 增多和酸性增强，氧合血红蛋白解离曲线右移——即波尔效应——促进氧气向工作肌肉的释放。
3. Neuromuscular Coordination and Muscle Contraction | 神经肌肉协调与肌肉收缩
A motor unit consists of a single motor neuron and all the muscle fibres it innervates. The all-or-none law dictates that when a motor neuron fires, every fibre in its unit contracts completely. Fine movements recruit smaller motor units; forceful movements recruit larger ones.
一个运动单位由一个运动神经元及其支配的所有肌纤维组成。全或无定律规定，运动神经元发放冲动时，其单位内所有肌纤维完全收缩。精细动作募集较小的运动单位；强力动作募集较大的单位。
The sliding filament theory describes contraction: myosin heads attach to actin, form cross-bridges, and pull the actin filaments toward the sarcomere centre. This process requires calcium ions and ATP. The power stroke shortens the sarcomere, resulting in muscle fibre contraction.
肌丝滑行学说描述收缩过程：肌球蛋白头与肌动蛋白结合，形成横桥，将肌动蛋白丝拉向肌节中心。此过程需要钙离子和 ATP。力量冲程缩短肌节，使肌纤维收缩。
Muscle fibre types vary in contractile and metabolic properties. Type I (slow oxidative) fibres are fatigue-resistant and suited to endurance. Type IIa (fast oxidative glycolytic) fibres combine speed with moderate endurance. Type IIx (fast glycolytic) fibres contract rapidly but fatigue quickly, ideal for sprinting and explosive events.
肌纤维类型在收缩和代谢特性上不同。I 型（慢缩氧化型）抗疲劳，适合耐力项目。IIa 型（快缩氧化酵解型）兼具速度与中等耐力。IIx 型（快缩酵解型）收缩迅速但易疲劳，适合短跑和爆发性项目。
4. Energy Provision: ATP and the Three Energy Systems | 能量供应：ATP 与三大能量系统
All muscular work depends on adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The breakdown of ATP releases energy for cross-bridge cycling and other cellular work:
所有肌肉工作皆依赖三磷酸腺苷 (ATP)。ATP 分解释放能量，供横桥循环等细胞活动使用：
ATP → ADP + Pᵢ + Energy
The ATP-PC system (phosphocreatine) provides immediate energy for maximal efforts lasting up to 10 seconds, without oxygen. It is the primary source for sprints and jumps.
ATP-PC 系统（磷酸肌酸）提供极限运动 10 秒内的即刻能量，无需氧气。它是短跑和跳跃的主要供能来源。
Anaerobic glycolysis breaks down glucose to pyruvate, yielding 2 ATP per molecule. When oxygen is insufficient, pyruvate converts to lactic acid, causing temporary fatigue. This system dominates high-intensity activities lasting 10–90 seconds, such as a 400 m run.
无氧糖酵解分解葡萄糖生成丙酮酸，每分子净得 2 ATP。氧气不足时，丙酮酸转化为乳酸，引起暂时性疲劳。该系统主导 10–90 秒的高强度运动，如 400 米跑。
The aerobic system uses oxygen to fully oxidise carbohydrates and fats, producing up to 38 ATP per glucose. It is the predominant energy system for prolonged, low-to-moderate intensity performance. Water and carbon dioxide are produced as waste.
有氧系统利用氧气彻底氧化碳水化合物和脂肪，每分子葡萄糖最多生成 38 ATP。它是长时间、中低强度运动的主要能量系统，产生的废物是水和二氧化碳。
