The musculoskeletal system

What are all the different types of musculoskeletal short term adaptations? Think about the word musculoskeletal

• Metabolic Activity

• Range of Movement

• Muscle Fibre Tears

• Pliablility

• Bone Formation

How would you define metabolism?

• The rate in which are heart beats

• The rate of chemical reactions in order to provide us energy

• The rate of which oxygen out weighs lactic acid or carbon dioxide

When does our metabolic activity increase and why does this happen?

What is our primary source of energy that is broken done during metabolic activity?

• Carbohydrates

• Fats

• Protein

What allows us to become more pliable?

• An increased temperature

• A decreased temperature

• An increase in muscle soreness

Why an increase in temperature? What actually happens to pliability? Why?

What happens to our joints to increase range of movement?

• An increased in blood production to the heart which will eventually lubricate joints

• An increased in blood production to the heart which will eventually lubricate joints

• An increased in synovial fluid which lubricates the joints

What happens to the cartilage when an increase in synovial fluid?

Finally, for your sport, what is the impact of an increased metabolic rate and increased pliability from an increase in synovial fluid and body temperature, try to be specific 'WHY'?
