Q

Define Rotation

Study These Flashcards
A

The movement around its own axis

21
Q

What 2 things happen to your bones with age?

Study These Flashcards
A

They become lighter

Their density and strength decrease

22
Q

What is osteoporosis?

Study These Flashcards
A

Too much bone lost which makes a weak skeleton therefore bones break easily

23
Q

What can prevent osteoporosis?

Study These Flashcards
A

Weight bearing excerise

24
Q

What is a compound fracture?

Study These Flashcards
A

When the bone protudes through skin, this happens when essecive impact is put on the bone. Pain, inability to move, tender, and deformity.

25
What is a simpe fracture?
Take place in one line therefore no displacement of the bone. Pain, inablity to move, tender, and deformity.
26
What is a greenstick fracture?
Only part of the bone is broken. When struct with an object. Pain, inablity to move, tender, and deformity.
27
What is a stress fracture?
Small cracks forms across bone. Unable to absorb shock, unfamiliar surface, poor quality shoes. Pain, inablity to move, tender, and deformity.
28
What is the symptom of Tennis elbow
Tennis Symptom- pain on the outside of the elbow
29
Describe a dislocation
When the joint is moved outside its designed range. Deformity and swelling of the joint. Extreme pain. The joint is locked into position.
30
Describe a Sprain
Joint twisted suddenly. Tearing of the ligaments. Swelling and pain at the joint. The foot has been inverted or turned inwards.
31
Describe a Torn Cartilage
By exsessive twisting of the joint. When player changes direction at speed. Inside of the joint will be painful. The joint is usally bent.
32
Describe a strain
Twist or wrench of the muscle. Pain in the muscle. No visable signs. Unable to move the muscle.
33
What does R.I.C.E. Stand for?
R- rest the injured part I- ice applied to reduce swelling C- compression bandage for support E- elavation to restrict blood flow
34
Define bone density
A measurement of mineral content of the bone.
35
What vitamins and minerals can improve bone density?
1. Calcium- found in milk and green veg e.g. Broccoli 2. Vitamin D- found in eggs and oily fish. (Vitamin D helps the body absorb Calcium)
36
# Define: 1. Muscle System 2. Muscle Definition 3. Muscle Work
1. Describes all muscles in body and how they work 2. Body shape and maintain posture 3. Voluntairy or involuntarily
37
Describe Voluntary Muscles
Also known as skeletal or striated muscles. These are most common muscles. Muscles attach to bone and provide shape. Muscles PULL to provide movement. These are on our conscious control.
38
Describe Involuntary Muscles
Also known as smooth muscles. They arn't controlled consciously. Carey on functioning throughout life.
39
Describe Cardic Muscles
This is only found in the heart. It is not under our conscious control. Never rests or tires during life.
40
What is antogonistic pairs?
Its a pair of muscles like, Bicep and Tricep. | When one muscle contacts and pulls and other relaxs and lenthens.
41
1. What is the Origin? | 2. What is the Insertion?
1. The tendon at the non-moving end. (Joint end) | 2. The tendon at the moving end.
42
What is Lactic Acid?
Its a poison is the extra waste which is produced when excercise increases the bodies demand for oxygen. It makes muscles ache and cramp. The more excercise you do the better you can cope with it.
43
What are the long term effects of excercise?
Grow in strength and size. | Leads to better posture, stringer tendons and ligaments which lower the chance of injury.
44
Define hypertrophy
When muscles increase in size
45
Define Atrophy
When muscle decrease in size
46
What is a Isometric contraction?
A muscles contraction with no movement. | Used for stability and holding the body steady.
47
What is a Isotonic contraction?
A muscular contraction that results in movement.
48
What is the symptom for Golfers elbow?
Pain on the inside of the elbow
49
What is Tennis/Golfers elbow usually caused by?
Overuse to the tendons at the elbow Using wrong size equipment Overuse
