What are the skeletal system adaptations?
-Osteoblast, Osteoclast and Osteocyte activity
-Mineral Content
-Collagen and increased tendon strength
What are osteoblasts?
Weight bearing activity increases the width, density and strength of bones. In long bones osteoblasts carry out ossification, which transforms fibrous tissue or cartilage into bone
What are Osteoclasts?
Weight bearing activity suppresses osteoclast activity maintaining a healthy bone density
What is mineral Content?
Long term exercise slows down skeletal ageing. People who maintain a healthy lifestyle have greater bone mass
What is collagen increased tendon strength?
Collagen is a fibrous protein found in all connective tissue. Weight bearing exercise causes micro-tears to connective tissue and the body adapts by regenerating new tissues made of protein that is mostly collagen
