PE Exam Stuff Flashcards
Framework outiline
Allows for upright posture-help fight gravity. Bones provide a solid framework for the body
Protection outline
Protection of vital organs such as heart, lungs and brain via rib cage and skull
Adequate body posture
Muscles are continually in a state of tone that gives them the ability to maintain upright posture when awake
Essential bodily functions
Involuntary muscles that function continuously and preserve our ongoing body needs
Role of ATP
Energy is contained in high energy bonds and is released when the bonds is broken. ATP is converted into ADP. All muscle contractions results from energy released during splitting of 3rd phosphate molecule
For contraction to continue beyond a time
ATP must be resynthesised
By products of ATP-CP
None
By products of anaerobic glycolysis
H+ ions fatiguing
By products of aerobic
CO2, water and heat
Recovery for ATP-CP
Passive: 50% in 30s
100%: 3-5 mins
Anaerobic glycolysis recovery
Active in order to increase oxygen to muscles
Aerobic energy system recovery
Active if anaerobic glycolysis system also contributed
Passive and eating glycogen if event was longer and slower
Anaerobic vs aerobic pathways
Anaerobic: low yield of ATP, doesn’t require 02, only resystnhesises ATP for a short duration, produces muscular fatiguing by-products e.g H+ ions
Aerobic: high yield of ATP, requires O2, can resynthesis ATP for long duration, cannot resynthesise ATP for high intensity efforts
Soft tissue
When connective tissue or muscle fibres cannot cope with the stress being placed on them or a joint is overextended
Soft tissue
When connective tissue or muscle fibres cannot cope with the stress being placed on them or a joint is overextended
Open wound
When the skin is damaged
Generally occurs via direct blow
Fracture structure injured
Bone
Dislocation structure injured
Joint
Possible cause fracture
Direct trauma to area e.g blow or indirect trauma e.g broken clavicle
Possible cause of dislocation
Excessive movement of a joint
Signs and symptoms of fractures
Pain, swelling, difficulty in moving
What injury damages both hard and soft tissue
Dislocation
Ligaments joint bone to bone and dliscation occurs at joint and involves forming joint being displaced
Signs and symptoms dislocation
Deformity, loss of movement, pain
Shin splits description
Pain felt anywhere along tibia from knee to ankle
Signs and symptoms of shin splits
Initial pain: slight inflammation in muscles
Over time: pain= constant and very uncomfortable
Osteitis pubis definition
Irritation and/or overuse of joint between pubic bones of the pelvis
Tennis/golfers elbow description
Swelling of tendons in elbow and arm
Signs and symptoms tennis/ golfers elbow
Recurring pain on outside of upper forearm
Difficulty extending forearm
Arthritis definition
Inflammation of the joints in the body causing pain and stiffness
Osteoarthritis definition
Degernative condition resulting from overuse or ‘wear and tear’ of a joint, mostly affecting the weight bearing joints of the hip, knee or ankle
Cartilage on ends of bones wear away causing the bones to rub together, creating pain and swelling
Risk factors osteoarthritis
1) physical inactivity
2)being overweight
Rheumatoid arthritis
Immune system attacks tissues lining the joints causing pain, swelling, irreversible damage and deformity
Generally affects smaller joints of body such as hands and feet
