impact of physical activity on skeletal and mental health Flashcards
5 common fracture sites
shoulder, ribs, spine, hips, wrists
osteoporosis
progressive disease resulting in a reduction in bone mineral density and deterioration of skeletal tissue due to inadequate nutrients and structural loading
bones become _______ as muscle strength declines increasing risk for _____
frail and brittle, fracture
bone was reduction occurs most soundly after age ___, further reduction occurs after age ___
30, 50
osteoporosis is more common in
women
why is osteoporosis more common in women (3)
tend to maintain lower peak bone mass
experience additional losses following menopause due to reduction of estrogen
increased risk for inadequate consumption of calcium and vitamin d
methods for reducing risk of osteoporosis
compound resistance training activities that create bone stress and help maintain bone mass (back squat, lunge, deadlift)
adequate calcium and vitamin D intake
regular physical activity across the lifespan
osteoarthritis
degeneration of joint cartilage and the underlying bone
osteoarthritis is associated with
previous injuries, joint overuse, obesity, sedentary behaviors
osteoarthritis highest prevalence in
older adults; associated pain and discomfort promotes sedentary behaviors
osteoarthritis causes
notable pain, discomfort, stiffness
common sites for osteoarthritis
hips, knees, spine, toes, thumbs
in osteoarthritis, as cartilage attempts to repair itself, bone remodeling can lead to
osteophytes
osteophytes
bone spurs that cause pain in surrounding nerves and muscle
post-traumatic arthritis
results in edema, joint swelling and pain due to an acute physical injury or overuse
PTA increases risk for
joint inflammatory disorder and premature degradation
PTA accounts for ___% of osteoarthritis cases
12
rheumatoid arthritis
chronic, progressive autoimmune disease that can cause severe joint inflammation, painful deformities and significant immobility over time
