Q

How does cushioning reduce injury risk?

A

Increases the time before the maximum force occurs, giving the feeling that less force is being executed (greater dissipation)

Q

How does increase in capillary pressure affect protein movement?

A

Interstitial fluid pressure increases pressure, in turn outflow to interstitial space increased and proteins increases - increased lymphatic permeability
