what do weight bearing excercises do ?
RESPONSES
stimulates mineral uptake such as phosphorus and calcium - increases bone density making bones stronger and more able to adapt to enviroment reduces osteoporo
How does the skeletal system respond B
ADAPTATIONS
Increased bone strength - via weight bearing bones become denser and stronger the more they are used to ease stress - absorbing minerals to increase bone density
Stronger bones are less likely to….
ADAPTIONS
fracture or break - good for contact sport
what is arthiritis?
ADD
a skeletal disorder, identified as a pain and inflammation at a joint. cartilage wears away - reduces joint space
what is osteoarthiritis ?
ADD
cartilage has thinned, wear of bones rubbing together
What is osteoporosis ?
skeletal disorder thaay causes bones to become brittle over time - lack of excercise
increased ligament strength?
helps keep joints stable, reduces risk of injury
