The document discusses three main types of resistance training: isotonic, isometric, and isokinetic. Isotonic resistance training uses free weights and the resistance remains constant throughout the movement. Isometric resistance training does not involve muscle length changes and occurs against an immovable resistance. Isokinetic resistance training allows the user to operate at a constant speed against a resistance where the machine provides an equal and opposite force.
The document discusses the Heath-Carter anthropometric somatotype method for assessing body shape and composition. It describes how somatotypes are expressed as a three-number rating of endomorphy, mesomorphy, and ectomorphy. Ten anthropometric measurements are needed to calculate an individual's somatotype rating. The document also examines the evolution of human posture from quadrupedal to bipedal and how this impacted the musculoskeletal system. It distinguishes between static and dynamic posture.

It provides guidelines from ACSM on developing fitness programs for cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular fitness, and flexibility. The chapter also addresses aging and physical activity, exercise for older adults, sports injuries prevention, and developing a well-rounded training session.
The document defines flexibility as the range of movement available at a joint. It discusses the importance of flexibility for improving posture, reducing injury risk, and maintaining a healthy spine. There are three main types of flexibility: dynamic, static-active, and static-passive. When stretching, the body uses a stretch reflex to prevent overstretching and muscle tears. There are two main types of static stretching: passive, using an external force, and active, using opposing muscles. Stretching should only be done after exercise when muscles are warm to avoid injury. Both strength and flexibility training are important.
The document discusses core muscles and core stability. It defines the core as the center of the body that functions to stabilize the trunk during movement. The core includes muscles of the hips, torso, and shoulders. A strong, stable core is important for preventing injuries and improving performance by allowing the efficient transfer of force throughout the body. Rather than exercises like crunches that involve large ranges of motion, functional exercises are recommended to enhance core stability, including planks, Russian twists, and alternating heel touches. Proper form and technique are important when building core stability.
Biomechanics is the study of forces and their effects on the human body, especially in the context of sports. It helps improve athletic performance by optimizing technique to prevent injuries and aid recovery. Biomechanics also helps develop improved sports equipment by assessing designs. Understanding biomechanics principles allows for identifying factors that can lead to injuries and improving training techniques. It provides an understanding of safety principles and efficient use of energy. The document also defines types of movements like flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction. Newton's laws of motion are important for understanding forces in sports.

The skeletal system consists of 206 bones that provide structure, protect organs, allow movement, store minerals, and form blood cells. There are two types of bone tissue - compact and spongy bone. Bones grow through two types of ossification and can be classified as long, short, flat, or irregular. The skeleton is divided into the axial skeleton which includes the skull, vertebrae, ribs, and sternum, and the appendicular skeleton which includes the limbs and their attachments. Joints can be immovable, slightly movable, or freely movable like ball-and-socket joints, hinge joints, and gliding joints.
The document provides an overview of the skeletal system including:
- The functions of the skeletal system which are support, protection, movement, production of blood cells, and storage of minerals.
- The parts of the skeletal system including bones, joints, cartilages, and ligaments.
- Details on the structure of bones and classification of bones based on shape.
- How bones are connected through ligaments and various types of joints like hinge, ball-and-socket, and gliding joints.
The musculoskeletal system allows for movement of the body and is comprised of bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. The skeletal system provides structure and protection to the body through bones and bone marrow. Bones provide support, protect organs, allow for movement through muscles attaching to them, and store minerals. There are over 200 bones in the human body that make up the axial skeleton (skull, spine, ribcage) and appendicular skeleton (limbs and their attachments).
The musculoskeletal system includes bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and connective tissues. It provides structure and support for the body, allows for movement via bones and muscles, and protects internal organs. There are over 200 bones in the human body that can be categorized as long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, or sesamoid bones. Joints such as synovial joints allow for movement between bones. Ligaments and tendons connect muscles to bones to facilitate movement. The three types of muscles are skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle.
The musculoskeletal system is comprised of muscles, bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints. It allows for movement via skeletal muscles attaching to bones. Bones provide support, protection, movement, storage of minerals, blood cell production, and heat generation. The musculoskeletal system includes long bones with a diaphysis and two epiphyses, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones, and sesamoid bones. Joints can be fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial, each varying in mobility. The musculoskeletal system works with tendons, ligaments, cartilage and joints to provide structure and movement to the body.

By:M. Thiru murugan
Unit – 13:
Formation and growth of bones
Tendons, ligaments and cartilages
Classification of bones, joints
Joint movement
Axial and appendicular skeleton
Skeletal system:
The human skeletal system consists of all of the bones, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments in the body & It Provide framework of the body
Altogether, the skeleton makes up about 20 percent of a person's body weight. An adult's skeleton contains 206 bones
Formation and growth of bones:
Ossification, or osteogenesis, is the process of bone formation.
In fetal life the bone growth occurs in 2 process: intramembranous and endochondral ossification
Intramembranous ossification is the process of bone development from fibrous membranes. It is involved in the formation of the flat bones of the skull, the mandible, and the clavicles.
Endochondral ossification is the process of bone development from hyaline cartilage. All of the bones of the body (except for the flat bones) are formed through endochondral ossification
Stages of bone growth:
Cartilage “model” of bone forms. This model continues to grow as ossification takes place.
Ossification begins at a primary ossification center in the middle of bone.
Ossification then starts to occur at secondary ossification centers at the ends of bone.
The medullary cavity forms. This cavity will contain red bone marrow.
Areas of ossification meet at epiphyseal plates, and articular cartilage forms. Bone growth ends.
Ossification centers:
Bone forms from cartilage, ossification begins with a middle point in the cartilage called the primary ossification center & secondary ossification centers (ends part of the bones) form after birth.
Skeletal maturity:
Throughout childhood, the cartilage remaining in the skeleton keeps growing, and allows for bones to grow in size.
Once all of the cartilage has been replaced by bone, and fusion has taken place at the epiphyseal plates, bones can no longer keep growing in length.
At this point, skeletal maturity has been reached. It generally takes place by age 18 to 25.
Tendons, ligaments and cartilages:
A tendon is a band of tissue that connects muscle to bone.
Functions of Tendons:
Attach muscles to bones
Anchors muscle to bone for movement
Ligament:
A ligament is an elastic band of tissue that connects bone to bone and provides stability to the joint.
Functions of Ligaments:
Attach bones to bones
Provide stability
Cartilage:
Cartilage is a soft, gel-like padding between bones that protects joints and facilitates movement.
Functions of Cartilage:
Model for bone growth in embryo & fetus
Provides a smooth cushion between adjacent bones
Provides firm flexible support (nose, ears, ribs & trachea)
Excellent shock absorber
Classification of bones:
Bones:
Bone are specialized forms of connective tissue that forms the skeleton of the body. It is composed chiefly of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. It also serves as a storage area for calcium, playing a large role
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together. The bone mass in the skeleton makes up about 14% of the total body weight and reaches maximum density around age 21
The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilage, joints and ligaments. It provides structure and support to the body, protects internal organs, allows for movement via muscle attachment, and stores minerals. The bones are classified as long, short, flat, or irregular. Key bones include the skull, vertebral column, ribs, shoulder girdle, pelvis and bones of the upper and lower limbs. The skeletal system enables vital body functions and works with muscles for movement.
The human skeleton is composed of 206 bones that provide structure, protect internal organs, allow for movement, and store minerals. There are 80 axial bones including the skull and vertebrae, and 126 appendicular bones such as the arms, legs, shoulders, and hips. Bones are living tissue composed of compact, cancellous, and subchondral bone tissues. The skeleton works with muscles to facilitate movement and provides anchors for muscles. Bones also serve important metabolic functions like mineral storage and blood cell production.
Anatomy and physiology details about systems - skeletal system, muscular system its amazing facts, types of muscles, micro and macro structure, sliding filament theory of muscular contractions, types of muscles fibers, respiratory system, its functions, structure, mechanism of respiration details about amazing facts, tidal volume, vital capacity
The skeletal and muscular systems are closely integrated because they work together to enable movement. The skeletal system has 206 bones divided into the axial skeleton (bones of the head, trunk and vertebral column) and appendicular skeleton (bones of the limbs and girdles). Bones are classified by shape and composition. Joints connect bones and allow various ranges of motion. The skeletal system provides structure, protection, movement, mineral storage and blood cell formation.
The skeletal system is composed of 206 bones that form the framework of the body. The skeletal system is divided into the axial skeleton containing the bones of the head, neck, back and chest, and the appendicular skeleton containing the bones of the shoulders, arms, hands, pelvis, legs and feet. Bones provide structure and support to the body, protect internal organs, allow for muscle attachment, produce blood cells, and store minerals. There are four main types of bones: long bones found in the arms and legs, flat bones found in the ribs and skull, short bones found in the hands and feet, and sesamoid bones that assist tendons. Joints connect bones and allow for movement, and can be immovable
The skeletal system is composed of bones, cartilage, joints, and ligaments that support the body, protect organs, allow movement, and store minerals. The 206 bones in the human body are divided into the axial skeleton (skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum) and appendicular skeleton (limbs and girdles). Bones can fracture when physical forces exceed their strength, with fractures classified as closed or open, complete or incomplete, depending on the break and presence of wounds.
The skeletal system has several key functions:
1. It provides structure and support for the body, protects vital organs, and allows for movement.
2. Bones act as levers for muscle attachments and movement.
3. Bones store minerals and act as sites for blood cell formation.
4. There are 206 bones in the adult skeleton divided into long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid shapes serving different functions. Bones are classified as either axial or appendicular. Surface markings on bones provide attachment points for muscles and allow for vascular and nerve passageways.
The skeletal system is divided into the axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton forms the body's central axis and includes the skull, vertebral column, and bony thorax. The skull is composed of two sets of bones - the cranium and facial bones. The cranium is made up of eight flat bones: the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The document provides information about the musculoskeletal system, including its two main divisions - the muscular system and skeletal system. It describes the key components and functions of the skeletal system such as providing support, protection, movement, and storage. It also discusses the axial skeleton, appendicular skeleton, and different types of joints. Finally, it covers topics like bone formation, healing, and diseases like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
Osteology, derived from the from Greek ὀστέον (ostéon) 'bones', and λόγος (logos) 'study', is the scientific study of bones, practised by osteologists. A subdiscipline of anatomy, anthropology, and paleontology, osteology is the detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, microbone morphology, function, disease, pathology, the process of ossification (from cartilaginous molds), and the resistance and hardness of bones (biophysics).[1]
Osteologists frequently work in the public and private sector as consultants for museums, scientists for research laboratories, scientists for medical investigations and/or for companies producing osteological reproductions in an academic context.
Osteology and osteologists should not be confused with osteopathy and its practitioners, osteopaths.

6. ymcaawards.co.uk
• 206 bones in total
• Bones are attached to other bones by ligaments
• Bones are attached to muscles by tendons
• Cartilage covers the end of bones at a joint and
allows friction free movement
What does the Skeletal System
consist of?
8. ymcaawards.co.uk
Functions of the Skeleton
Muscle Attachment and Movement
The long bones of the skeleton act as levers. Muscles attached to
these bones and pull on them to create movement
Storage of Minerals
Minerals such as calcium and phosphate ions are stored in the bones
to be drawn upon when necessary
Protection of Vital Organs
The skeleton protects vital organs and delicate structures within the
body
Shape
The skeleton gives the body its characteristic shape and provides a
framework for support
Production
The marrow cavity of some bones, such as the sternum, is a site of
production for red and white blood cells.

Divisions of the Skeleton
13. ymcaawards.co.uk
There are 33 individual bones in total:
7 Cervical vertebrae:
• 1st is called the ATLAS which supports the skull and forms a pivot with the AXIS
(2nd cervical vertebrae)
12 Thoracic vertebrae:
• Form joints with the ribs to form the ribcage
5 Lumbar vertebrae:
• The largest and strongest vertebrae
5 Sacral:
• Fused to form the sacrum
4 Coccygeal:
• Fused to form the coccyx
Vertebral Column (Spine)
14. ymcaawards.co.uk
Vertebral Column (Spine)
All the vertebrae join to one another to form a
flexible column that:
• Supports the trunk and head
• Encloses and protects the spinal cord
In between each vertebrae there are intervertebral
discs (fibrous cartilage) which act as shock
absorbers between each of the vertebrae
15. ymcaawards.co.uk
Curves of the Spine
• 4 ‘natural’ curves named after the vertebrae
that form them:
Cervical
Thoracic
Lumbar
Sacral
• These curves centre the head above the body
and make walking and maintaining an upright
posture more easy
Curves of the Spine
16. ymcaawards.co.uk
Curves of the Spine
Genetic and lifestyle factors can cause curvature of the
spinal to become exaggerated or excessive which gives a
distorted appearance to an individuals posture
• Fashion
• Work/school
• Emotional state
• Sport
• Hereditary
• Injuries
• Age
• Pregnancy
• Disability
• Obesity
Exaggerated Curvatures of the Spine
21. ymcaawards.co.uk
Session Aims:
• Describe the four classifications of bone
• Understand the structure of a long bone
• Describe the stages of bone growth
• Describe the effects of exercise, age inactivity
and hormonal status on bones
22. ymcaawards.co.uk
Bone Classifications
• Long Bones
Found in the limbs. Their length is greater than their breadth. They
have a tubular shaft and usually an epiphysis at each end covered
by hyaline cartilage
Movement
• Short Bones
Found in the hand and foot primarily. Roughly cuboid in shape
Movement / strength
• Irregular Bones
Composed of a thin shell of compact bone and an interior of
cancellous bone
Protection
• Flat Bones
Composed of thin and inner and outer layers of compact bone
separated by a layer of cancellous bone
Muscle attachment
*
Also
Sesamoid
bones
such
as
the
Patella
(knee
cap)
23. ymcaawards.co.uk
Bone Growth
Bones are living and need a good blood supply in order to
bring nutrients and oxygen, and to get rid of waste products
The bone also needs nerves to send information to the brain
about pain or damage caused to a bone
Bones at birth are mainly cartilage. As the skeleton matures
calcium and magnesium are deposited within the cartilage by
osteoblasts (bone building cells). This process of bone growth
is called OSSIFICATION
Ossification is complete by the age of about 25 years
The cartilage gives the bones their resilience and calcium
gives them their hardness.
24. ymcaawards.co.uk
• COMPACT BONE - forms the main shaft of the bone.
• SPONGY BONE (cancellous bone) - is found at the ends
of the bone
• RED MARROW - which produces red and white blood
cells is found within the cavity of the bone shaft
• With the exception of the ends of the bone, a fibrous
sheath covers the bone, this is called PERIOSTEUM
• Periosteum has a rich supply of blood vessels, providing
nutrients for bone cells during growth and repair.
Structure of a Long Bone
26. ymcaawards.co.uk
Growing bone is vulnerable to damage
Exercise training with children therefore requires care
Research suggests exercise with young children needs to
be of moderate intensity to have a positive effect on bone
development
Resistance training with children should consist of high
reps and low resistance
Heavy/strenuous work with young children could lead to
overuse injuries and fractures of the epiphyseal plates,
which could effect growth and future bone development
Ossification
Important implications for exercise
27. ymcaawards.co.uk
Bones change their size and shape during a
lifespan
Increasing age and inactivity can lead to bone
demineralisation and fragile bones (osteoporosis)
Regular weight bearing exercise will increase bone
density, making it stronger as a result of the pulling
forces exerted by the muscle on the bone
Factors Affecting Bone Growth
28. ymcaawards.co.uk
This is where bones become thinner and more
fragile
Exercise does not need to be vigorous; everyday
activities such as walking are beneficial
Any weight bearing exercise program is effective
as it encourages an increase in bone density.
Bones become stronger due to the pulling forces of
the muscles on the bone. Without this action, bone
loses calcium faster than it can be replaced
Osteoporosis

exercise
31. ymcaawards.co.uk
Joint Classifications
A joint is where a bone meets another bone
There are 3 classifications of joints:
• Immovable e.g. the skull
- Also known as fused or fibrous
• Slightly moveable e.g. the thoracic vertebrae
- Also known as cartilaginous
• Freely movable e.g. the shoulder
- Known as synovial
32. ymcaawards.co.uk
Synovial Joints – Structure
• Articular cartilage
– Lines the ends of bone for smooth movement
– Shock absorption
• Joint capsule
– Sleeve-like capsule that encloses the joint cavity
• Synovial membrane
– Secretes synovial fluid into the joint
• Synovial fluid
– Lubricates the joint
33. ymcaawards.co.uk
Synovial Joints – Structure
• Ligaments
– Links bone to bone and adds stability
• Tendons
– Tendons attach muscle to bone
43. ymcaawards.co.uk
Flexion and Extension
• Flexion – to reduce the angle at the joint or to
bend a limb
- e.g. bending the arm at the elbow
• Extension – to return from flexion, increase the
angle at the joint or to straighten the limb
- e.g. extending the arm or straightening the leg
45. ymcaawards.co.uk
Abduction and Adduction
• Adduction – to bring towards or across the
midline of the body
- e.g. drawing the leg across the body
• Abduction – to take away from the midline of the
body
- e.g. raising the arm or leg out to the side
51. ymcaawards.co.uk
Horizontal Flexion and Extension
• Horizontal flexion – a forward movement in a
horizontal plane
- e.g. drawing the arm across the body as in
a pec dec exercise
• Horizontal extension – a backward movement in
a horizontal plane
- e.g. swinging the arm away from the body
NB: Also known as horizontal shoulder adduction (flexion) and abduction
(extension)
55. ymcaawards.co.uk
Lateral Flexion and Extension
• Lateral flexion - to bend sideways with the truck
or neck
- e.g. standing side bends or tilting the head
• Lateral extension - to straighten from a sideways
bending movement
- e.g. returning to an upright anatomical
position after performing a side bend
59. ymcaawards.co.uk
Plantar Flexion and Dorsi Flexion
• Plantar Flexion - pointing the toes away from
the body
- e.g. upward movement of a standing calf raise
• Dorsi Flexion - to pull the toes towards the body
- e.g. digging the heel in the ground
61. ymcaawards.co.uk
Protraction and Retraction
• Protraction - the shoulders are drawn forwards,
rounding the shoulders
• Retraction - the shoulders are drawn back as if to
bring the shoulder blades (scapulae) as close
together as possible and push the chest forwards
64. ymcaawards.co.uk
Bones and Joints - Special populations
Work on a case by case basis with individuals but bear
the following changes in mind
• Young people in the 14 – 16 age range
Growing bone not fully ossified therefore vulnerable to
damage.
Avoid heavy, very strenuous or repetitive exercise
• Pregnancy
Stability of synovial joints affected by the hormone
relaxin and altered centre of gravity.
Avoid high impact exercise and fast changes of
direction
65. ymcaawards.co.uk
Bones and Joints - Special populations
• Ageing
Decreased bone density – susceptibility to fractures/
osteoporosis
Decreased synovial fluid – stiffer joints
Thinning cartilage – reduced shock absorbency
Less elastic ligaments and tendons – reduced joint
stability
Age related diseases
• Disability
Limitations will be specific to the disability
67. ymcaawards.co.uk
Learning Outcomes
Session Aims:
• Identify the three types of muscle tissue and their
characteristics
• Describe the structure of skeletal muscle
• Identify how muscles attach to the skeleton
• Name and locate the main muscles
• Describe the structure and function of the pelvic
floor muscles
• Identify joint actions by specific muscle groups
68. ymcaawards.co.uk
Muscle Tissue Types
There are three types of muscle tissue:
• Voluntary
- Skeletal or striated muscle, involved in exercise
- Under conscious control
• Involuntary
- Smooth muscle, e.g. digestive tract, artery wall
-Under unconscious control
• Cardiac
- Striated and involuntary
- Specialist heart muscle
- Under unconscious control
70. ymcaawards.co.uk
Muscle Attachments
Muscles attach to the skeleton via:
• Tendons
Muscle fascia converges to form the tendon
which attaches to the bone
• Aponeurosis (flattened tendons) of other
muscles e.g. abdominals
• Directly onto the bone via muscle fascia
71. ymcaawards.co.uk
Muscle Contractions – General Rules
• Muscles pull
• A muscle crosses at least one joint
• A muscle contracts along its line of fibre
• Muscles work in pairs
72. ymcaawards.co.uk
Muscles
Muscles work in pairs:
Front & back
e.g. biceps & triceps
• Prime mover / agonist - the muscle responsible
for bringing about the action
e.g. biceps curl – agonist = bicep
• Antagonist - the opposite muscle that relaxes for
movement to occur
e.g. biceps curl – antagonist = tricep
73. ymcaawards.co.uk
Types of Muscle Contraction
• Concentric
Muscle develops tension and shortens,
overcoming load and gravity
• Eccentric
Muscle lengthens (with tension), resisting
gravity, returning a load to the starting
position in a controlled manner
• Isometric
Static or held
• Isotonic
Moving contraction (concentric and eccentric
phases)

Muscle Fibre Recruitment
The nervous system controls muscular contraction
Motor units consist of a single motor nerve and all
the muscle fibres it innervates
All of the fibres in that motor will be recruited when
the stimulus is sent from the nervous system – ‘all
or none law’
More units will be recruited when more strength is
required
79. ymcaawards.co.uk
Anatomical Terms
Anatomical terms help you to
distinguish between different
parts of the anatomy, they also
help with learning muscle
names
The terms relate to the
anatomical position
80. ymcaawards.co.uk
Muscle Origins and Insertions
There are some general rules to help you to
understand muscle origins and insertions:

Special Populations
The Muscular System
Work on a case by case basis with individuals but bear
the following changes in mind
• Young people in the 14 – 16 age range
Muscle growth does not keep up with bone growth,
leading to clumsiness, motor skills are affected
• Pregnancy
The muscular system is affected by relaxin,
muscles are less pliable. This may have and affect
on balance and coordination
109. ymcaawards.co.uk
Special Populations

• Describe how blood moves through the heart
• Describe the systemic and pulmonary circulation
• Describe the structure and function of blood
vessels
• Define blood pressure classifications
• Identify blood pressure classifications
112. ymcaawards.co.uk
The Heart
• Located in the chest, slightly to the left
• A pump to maintain circulation
• Two halves
- Right, deoxygenated blood
- Left, oxygenated blood
• Four chambers
- 2 upper collecting chambers – atria
- 2 lower pumping chambers – ventricles
• Valves ensure the flow is one way
• Coronary arteries supply the heart muscle with
oxygenated blood
114. ymcaawards.co.uk
Arteries
• Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the
heart supplying vital organs and tissues*
- Remember ‘A’ = ‘A’way
• Thicker, muscular wall to allow blood to be
shunted around the body
• Dealing with blood under high pressure
* except for the pulmonary artery - transports
deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs
115. ymcaawards.co.uk
Veins
• Veins carry deoxygenated blood back
towards the heart*
- Remember ‘Ve-in’ = ‘way in’
• Thin muscular wall
• Valves to assist blood flow back to the
heart and prevent back flow
* except for the pulmonary vein – transports
oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart
116. ymcaawards.co.uk
Capillaries
• Arteries become smaller to form arterioles which
link to capillaries
• Capillaries are one cell thick to allow gaseous
exchange
• From the capillaries venules take blood into the
veins, into the Vena Cavae
118. ymcaawards.co.uk
Pulmonary and Systemic Circulation
• The pulmonary circulation – the flow of blood
from the right side of the heart to the lungs and
then back to the left side of the heart. (Lower
pressure)
• The systemic circulation – the flow of blood from
the left side of the heart to all parts of the body.
(Higher pressure)
119. ymcaawards.co.uk
Blood Pressure
• The pressure within the arteries
• Produced by the contraction of the heart
• Measured by:
- Systolic pressure – when the heart contracts
- Diastolic pressure – when the heart relaxes
• Regular exercise can lead to the reduction or
normalising of high blood pressure

Special Populations
Work on a case by case basis with individuals but bear
in mind the following
• Young people in the 14 – 16 age range
Limited supply of muscle and liver glycogen
Smaller stores of fuels
High anaerobic threshold
Limited anaerobic capacity

The Energy Systems
Special Populations
• Pregnancy
More carbohydrates than fat is used during
moderate exercise
Blood sugar levels susceptible to a sudden drop
after exercise
• Disability
Limitations will be specific to the disability

Learning Outcomes
Session aims:
• Understand the nervous system and its relation
to exercise
• Describe the role and functions of the nervous
system
• Describe the ‘all or none’ law/motor unit
recruitment
• Describe how exercise can enhance
neuromuscular connections and improve motor
fitness

The Nervous System
• Sensory input
- To sense changes inside and outside the body
• Interpretation
- To analyse and interpret incoming information
• Motor output
- To respond to the information by activating the
relevant bodily system
154. ymcaawards.co.uk
The Nervous System
• Central nervous system (CNS)
- The brain and the spinal cord
• The peripheral nervous system
- 31 pairs of nerves that branch from the CNS
- Sends messages back to the CNS
- Two branches:
• Somatic
• Autonomic
- Sympathetic
- Parasympathetic

The Nervous Systems
Response to Training
• Strengthening/growing new connections
within the nervous system
• Speeding up the frequency of nerve impulses to
the motor units
• Improved synchronous recruitment of motor units
resulting in stronger muscle contractions

The Nervous System and
Special Populations
Disorders of this very complex system can
affect all special populations.
There are hundreds of disabling neurological
diseases and disorders
This is very complex and requires specialist
knowledge and care
