Introduction
Skeletal muscles play a significant role in humans since they produce all the movements of body parts. Typically, these muscles are attached to bones by tendons, making them under voluntary control, unlike smooth and cardiac muscles. The skeletal muscles are also vital since they help in maintaining body posture and balance. Additionally, they protect the body’s organs, making them one of the most significant muscles in the body. Health practitioners have focused on various ways of improving skeletal health, such as proper nutrition and body exercise. They have also revealed that women are at higher risk of developing skeletal conditions than men since they lose bone at an earlier age and faster than men. Thus, skeletal muscle aspects reveal that musculoskeletal health is an important aspect that people should learn.
Previous works have been done to ensure that people improve their skeletal muscle health. For instance, doctors have encouraged people to ensure that they perform body exercise since it strengthens their bones. Health practitioners have also used campaigns to create skeletal muscle health awareness. Another issue that has been exercised previously to guarantee that people learn about musculoskeletal health involves training people on how to increase the size and strength of their muscle fibers by exercising. Proper diet is another issue that has been encouraged to help the public improve their musculoskeletal health. Nutritionists have educated people about the importance of consuming nutritious food with plenty of calcium. Typically, calcium helps in increasing bone density and limiting bone loss. Hence, these previous works have largely helped in improving the musculoskeletal health of individuals.
The knowledge gaps in these areas identify food containing calcium and the best exercise to improve the muscles’ strength. In this case, few people have adequate knowledge about nutrition and a healthy diet. Thus, individuals should be educated about different foods that have adequate calcium. Furthermore, few persons have the skills regarding body exercise, whereby they experience damaged tissues during training. Therefore, the public should be educated about how different practices can improve various muscles in their body.
Additionally, future protein metabolism surveys should also be exercised to ensure that individuals learn how to improve their health. The studies include groups of patients with different skeletal illnesses. Aspects such as the serum-free amino acid concentration and the serum protein fractions can be examined during the study. Protein metabolism involves various biochemical processes responsible for synthesizing proteins and amino acids and their breakdown by catabolism. Therefore, the researchers can guarantee that different people are examined to determine how these factors differ in individuals.
I am proposing that people focus on proper body exercise that can help people strengthen their skeletal muscles. Moreover, I can ensure that the public learns about a healthy diet and the need to consume food that is rich in calcium. This project aims to create awareness of musculoskeletal health and the importance of body exercise and proper nutrition. The hypothesis tested is, do people have adequate information about musculoskeletal health? The research’s primary outcome and secondary outcomes are also important since they allow individuals to focus on achieving their study aims. This study’s primary outcomes include improved musculoskeletal health in the community and increased exercise among individuals.
Methods
Participants
Twenty participants will be used for this study to ensure that adequate information is acquired and used in the findings. Random sampling will be used to ensure that research bias is avoided. Hence, race, origin, color, and cultural values will not be considered in the research. Moreover, women and men will be used in this survey to guarantee that gender equality is achieved. Thus, ten males (50%) and ten females (50%) of varied age groups will be used. Young adults, adults, and older adults will be used to ensure that the investigator acquires information regarding various aspects that can determine the public’s understanding of musculoskeletal health. Consequently, exclusion and inclusion criteria will also involve using participants of different ages to guarantee that adequate information is acquired. Participation in the research will also be voluntary, and confidentiality will be observed since they are ethical considerations in research.
Experimental Design
Experiment designs in a study play a significant role in ensuring that surveyors test their hypotheses. The techniques involve observations, questions, and results of the investigation. In this case, various questions will ensure that credible information is acquired and guarantee that the results are valid. The use of questionnaires will be used to obtain data from the researchers. Moreover, the method is essential since it helps in the acquisition of raw statistics from the participants. Additionally, questionnaires are confidential, which enables people to present their views about the issues being examined. In this case, they will be used to ensure that participants present their views regarding skeletal muscles. The process will also be vital in ensuring that the participants provide information regarding nutrition and body exercise.
Another method that will be used to obtain information will involve interviews. The technique is also vital since raw data is acquired from the participants. Interviews help researchers detect other expressions such as gestures and facial expressions, which can be used in the research’s conclusion and recommendations. The technique will also be essential since participants will be encouraged to provide confidential information since privacy will be exercised.
The major questions in the interviews and the questionnaires will focus on different issues regarding musculoskeletal health. For instance, participants will be asked about their calcium intake and how they determine that particular food is rich in calcium. Another essential aspect will involve body exercise. Many people in the modern world do not engage in outdoor games. Technology has enabled people to enjoy different online games, whereby they can play with different parties in various areas. Automobile use in traveling is another factor that has led to minimized body exercise among various people. Thus, the questions will enable the researcher to acquire data regarding some of these aspects that can impact an individual’s musculoskeletal health. The investigator will also focus on the differences between the answers presented by men and women participants in the study. For instance, many people argue that fewer women engage in body exercise than men. Thus, such issues will be determined using interviews and questionnaires.
Another essential issue that will be involved will involve asking participants how they improve their skeletal muscles. The information will be used to develop strategies that can enhance individuals’ musculoskeletal health in the community. Issues about past complications of skeletal diseases will also be included in the research questions to ensure that the surveyor learns how different people experience skeletal muscle conditions. Treatment method is another issue that can be examined during the research. Thus, participants will be asked about the approaches that are involved in treating the various skeletal conditions. The responses will determine whether health care facilities have provided adequate information regarding the diagnosis and management of different diseases that affect the skeletal system.
Dependent measures design will be exercised in the study since participants will not be assigned a particular issue to test the hypothesis. The approach will ensure that everyone in the research can provide information involving different topics that will be analyzed. For instance, all participants will be asked to answer the questions irrespective of their age or gender. Failure to group them will also allow the researcher to note how gender and age can impact how people respond to evaluated issues, such as skeletal infections.
The relationship between variables and the outcome is another vital issue that will be analyzed in this section. The independent variables will be exercise and nutrition, while the dependent variable will be skeletal muscles, illnesses, and strength. Therefore, the data collection methods analyzed will help the investigator determine how these variables impact skeletal health. The step of analyzing the variables is also essential since researchers learn more ways that can be implemented to curb a particular issue, such as muscle protein synthesis. For instance, the data provided in this survey can be used by health practitioners when analyzing how other methods should be practiced together with body exercise and proper nutrition to improve musculoskeletal health among individuals.
Proteins are also used to grow and repair cells, and excess proteins must be converted into triglycerides. Consequently, investigators can learn how people with skeletal conditions can focus on their diet to guarantee that they consume adequate proteins to improve their musculoskeletal health. The protein metabolism investigation can also show ways of increasing metabolism, such as cardiovascular exercise. Hence, there is a need for future protein metabolism research. Researchers can analyze the participants’ information regarding their protein intake and educate them on improving their health.
Analytical Approach
The analytic approach in research is significant since it allows investigators to combine the scientific method’s power using a formal process when tackling a particular issue. Moreover, the technique is exercised by researchers to ensure that they can break a problem down to guarantee that it can be solved with ease. In this case, the analytic approach will measure how proper nutrition and exercise impact an individual’s musculoskeletal health. Body exercise is one of the ways of limiting skeletal conditions. However, some other factors can be analyzed concerning this approach. For instance, intense exercise can lead to damaged muscles and poor muscular health. Thus, a precursor-product method will be utilized in this case to determine skeletal muscle protein synthesis. The approach involves using labeled amino acids as the tracers to determine the renewal of the tissues’ protein and metabolic state. Tracers are introduced directly to the muscle by intravenous infusion of leucine, allowing accurate quantitation of protein dynamics, which is significant when investigating abnormal skeletal muscle protein. Thus, the precursor-product method will assess muscle protein synthesis rates and ensure that people who practice body exercise can benefit from this research.
Calcium plays a significant role in musculoskeletal health, and the need to measure its levels in the blood is essential. Moreover, the research aims at limiting the gap involving informing people about calcium and its importance in the body. Thus, the analytic approach will involve the total calcium test and the ionized calcium test. The total calcium test is used to measure both free and bound forms and albumin levels. Typically, albumin is a protein that binds to calcium and transports it through the blood, including the skeletal system. Therefore, the method can ensure that individuals are aware of their calcium levels and how they can impact their skeletal muscle health. The ionized calcium test measures only the free, metabolically active form and can detect changes in calcium levels in the body. Discovering the variations is vital since individuals can ensure that they take a diet with plenty of calcium.
Statistical Analysis
Statistical analysis is a vital step in a survey since it allows investigators to analyze the collected data. In this case, the participant’s data will be examined to ensure that valid results are acquired. Moreover, using the appropriate software to scrutinize data is encouraged to avoid misinterpretation of information. Minitab is one of the software used by many researchers to examine their data. The software is easy to use and helps individuals manipulate and identify trends and data patterns. Additionally, it helps surveyors to extrapolate answers to current issues based on the results of the analysis. Thus, Matlab will be of great significance since it will enable the researcher to focus on how data acquired from the participants can address skeletal health and inform people about the importance of proper nutrition and body exercise.
Impact
The survey aims to create awareness about musculoskeletal health and ensure that people learn about proper nutrition and body exercise. Additionally, few people know about the importance of musculoskeletal health. Thus, data provided in the investigation will be used by people to prevent them from developing various conditions such as osteoporosis and osteopenia. I anticipate that the work will show that few people have limited knowledge about musculoskeletal health and the significance of calcium in the body. Furthermore, I expect most participants to have minimal information regarding the relationship between skeletal health and body exercise. The findings are also likely to reveal that few people know about skeletal muscle infections.
The ramifications that can be presented if the hypotheses are true will include increased awareness about musculoskeletal health in communities. Nutritionists in different countries can also use the survey’s information to educate people about the need to exercise and focus on a healthy diet to improve their skeletal muscles’ strengths. Health practitioners would also benefit from the exercise since they will acquire more information to educate patients with various skeletal conditions. The health care system stakeholders will also benefit from this exercise if the hypotheses are true since they will have access to credible information regarding musculoskeletal health. Thus, different people will be impacted by this survey as it focuses on a significant health issue.
