Week 11

Towards or close to the body e.g. skin is superficial to the muscle

Away from the surface of the body e.g. the tendons are deep to the skin

Are inelastic but flexible bands of connective tissue that attached two bones together

Tough but flexible bands of connective tissue that attach muscle to bone

Over stretching or tearing of fibres

Inflammation

Condition

Rotational, twisting or pivotal movement sports

2-3 weeks of rest damage to individual muscle fibres

3-6 weeks rest more extensive damage

3 months rest complete rupture of a muscle

example backward falling skier - boot and skis accelerate forward creating an anterior drawer mechanism

• low intensity rhythmic - increase circulation • stretch to increase compliance in muscles and tendon tissue • the specific game related activity

S - specificity of the exercise P - participants energy levels I - intensity of the exercise E - environment conditions D - duration of the exercise

Increasing ROM by dymically forcing joint to adopt a greater angle
