Recovery of muscoskeletal system

• What are the fatigue factors?

  -Replacement of collagen in tendons and ligaments

  -Replacement of calcium in bones

  -Repair to micro-tears in muscles

  -Delated onset of muscle soreness (DOMS)
• What is the replacement of collagen in tendons and ligaments?

  When they are damaged or stressed, the body produces collagen to help heal them
• What is one issue with the replacement of collagen in tendons and ligaments?

  They have poor blood supply so have a limited potential to heal properly
• What is the replacement of calcium in bones?

  As physical activity increases bone density. Bone hypertrophy is stimulated by the amount of loading placed on the skeletal system rather than the frequency
• What does exercise produce in the replacement of calcium in bones?

  Exercise stimulates the release of calcium and vitamin D
• What are repairs to micro-tears in muscles?

  As exercise places stress on muscles, which leads to tiny tears. These tears will cause pain and swelling in the muscle tissue.
• What does protein do, in the recovery of micro-tears?

  Builds and repairs these tears, making the muscles stronger
• What is DOMS?

  Delayed onset of muscle soreness
• What does delayed onset of muscle soreness do?

  It is muscular discomfort which delevlops 24-48 hours after exercise.
• What is reccomended with DOMS?

  That exercise is not resumed untill the effects of DOMS has worn off.
• What group of people are less susceptible to the effects of DOMS?

  Experienced Athletes
