Effects of Exercise on the Skeletal System

How does exercise strengthen bones?

• Exercise has no effect on bone strength.

• Exercise puts stress on bones, stimulating osteoblasts and increasing bone density.

• Exercise weakens bones by causing them to become brittle.

• Exercise increases the risk of fractures by putting too much stress on bones.

What happens to the density of bones with regular exercise?

• The density of bones increases with regular exercise.

• The density of bones decreases with regular exercise.

• Regular exercise has no effect on the density of bones.

• The density of bones remains the same with regular exercise.

How does exercise help in preventing osteoporosis?

• Exercise only prevents osteoporosis in older adults.

• Exercise has no effect on preventing osteoporosis.

• Exercise weakens bones and increases the risk of osteoporosis.

• Exercise strengthens bones and increases bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis.

What are the benefits of exercise on joint health?

• Exercise causes joint pain and inflammation.

• Exercise strengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and promotes joint lubrication.

• Exercise has no impact on joint health.

• Exercise leads to joint stiffness and decreased range of motion.

How does exercise improve flexibility in joints?

• Exercise decreases range of motion in joints.

• Exercise causes joint pain and stiffness.

• Exercise has no effect on flexibility in joints.

• Exercise increases range of motion, stretches muscles and tendons, lubricates joints, and reduces stiffness.

What happens to the muscles around joints with exercise?

• They become shorter and tighter.

• They become stronger and more flexible.

• They become weaker and less flexible.

• They stay the same.

How do ligaments benefit from exercise?

• Ligaments do not benefit from exercise

• Exercise has no effect on ligaments

• Exercise can strengthen and stretch ligaments, improving their flexibility and reducing the risk of injury.

• Exercise can make ligaments weaker and more prone to injury

What role do tendons play in exercise?

• Tendons help regulate body temperature during exercise.

• Tendons connect muscles to bones and transmit force.

• Tendons store energy for later use during exercise.

• Tendons help improve flexibility and range of motion during exercise.

How does exercise improve muscle strength?

• Exercise reduces the number of muscle fibers, resulting in increased muscle strength.

• Exercise has no effect on muscle strength.

• Exercise causes microscopic damage to muscle fibers, which triggers the repair process and leads to the growth of new muscle proteins. This process, called muscle hypertrophy, results in increased muscle strength.

• Exercise causes muscle fibers to shrink, resulting in increased muscle strength.

What are the effects of exercise on muscle endurance?

• Exercise only improves muscle endurance temporarily.

• Exercise decreases muscle endurance by weakening muscles.

• Exercise improves muscle endurance by strengthening muscles and increasing their efficiency.

• Exercise has no effect on muscle endurance.
