Assess positives of training on the skeletal system that a coach should be aware of when training young athletes.
Increased bone density, strengthening bones to prevent injury Increased calcium deposits in the bones Increased muscle tone, improves posture Greater ability to absorb shock, reducing the risk of injury
Assess negative effects of training on the skeletal system that a coach should be aware of when training young athletes.
Getting injury can limit/stop young athlete from participating in physical activity Increased risk of overuse or chronic injury Tendonitis from continuously training from young age Young athletes could develop shin splints or Osgood Schlatter’s disease, preventing them from participating in physical activity
Discuss the positive impact on the skeletal and muscular systems for an adult who participates regularly in sport
Improved protection to physical stress Reduce friction within the joint High impact activities can have positive impact on joints and muscular system Increased strength of muscle Improved flexibility, maintains joint stability & mobility
Prolonged exposure to training causes structural and physiological adaptations to occur which allow endurance athletes to perform better. Identify and describe two adaptations to each of the cardiovascular systems resulting from endurance training
Increased vascularisation. Increased RBC count, improving body’s ability to transport O2 to muscles Cardiac hypertrophy, resulting in thicker stronger walls & increases in heart volumes
Discuss the effects on the skeletal system a coach should be aware of when working with young athletes and how this influences the coaching methods used.
Positive: Increased bone density, strengthens bones to prevent injury Increased stability of joints to prevent dislocations through strengthened ligaments, tendons & muscle Greater ability to absorb shocks when landing or falling Negative: Young athletes may suffer from overuse injuries due to too much activity of wrong type, e.g. Osgood Schlatter’s disease or shin splints Increased chance of damage to articular cartilage Young female athletes may experience problems with hormonal levels - low estrogen production decreases bone density & could delay onset of menstruation Coach: Minimise risk of injury or long term damage to young athlete Allow appropriate time for rest & recovery Apply appropriate progression & overload
