Timing of strength adaptations: change of the neural adaptation contributing the strength after all with muscle configuration. Acute vs chronic injuries: sudden/specific mechanism vs slow/long term (commonly by overuse) Treatment: use of running water to clean, use of antibiotic ointment to prevent infection, but use of air if there is no fluid or blood leaking, & cool towels to relieve pain. Treatment: stop bleeding by use of gauze, direct/constant pressure & use of antibiotic ointment; apply daily if needed. If it is deep there should be stitches (more than an half inch wide and half inch deep. If not treated - pus or redness, burning will start *depending on time there is smell of blood. Avulsions: very deep injury where lots of skin layers are torn off completely or only a flap of skin remains lots of bleeding & often scarring. Treatment: after cleaning wound, requires skin to remain if there is and place back into original position.
