  • Factors and responses to the skeleton
    • Additional factors
      • Age
        • if a child uses weight training and they're under 16 this will cause
          • Damage in epiphyseal plate
            • Stunting growth
      • osteoporosis
        • Weakening one bones
          • This is caused by ....
            • Loss of calcuim
              • Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium
            • Loss of vitamin D
              • Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium
          • Bones become brittle and fragile
        • How to prevent this ?
          • exercise can promote regular mineral uptake
          • resistance training increases bone density
      • arthritis
        • It is inflammation of the  joint
          • Cartilage wears down as the bones rub together
        • How can this be prevented
          • Warms and increases the amount of mineral uptake
          • stretching will improve joint range
            • This lengthens the ligament - holding the bones in place
    • Single response
      • increase of synovial fluid
        • Fluid becomes less viscous
        • This lubricatesit
          • Causing less viscous
        • Used for protection
      • nutrients to articulating cartilage
      • Mineral uptake in bones
        • This is simulated by weight  bearing
        • Makes bones stronger and denser
    • Long term response
      • Increase in bone density
        • this means...
          • stronger bones
          • more resistant in the forces e.g.. running
          • An increase in performance
      • strength in ligament
        • This improves flexability
