Responses of the skeletal system to a single sport or exercise session - short term Flashcards
1
Q
How does synovial fluid production work?
A
When we exercise synovial fluid is produced. This reduces the friction between joints increasing the range of movement at the joint. When the fluid is released it becomes less viscous.
2
Q
How does the uptake of minerals occur?
A
Exercise stimulates the uptake of calcium, this makes the bones stronger with less chance of injury.
3
Q
How does the pliability of ligaments increase?
A
Tendomes become more pliable which would increase the range of movement at the joint
