EDKP 261 Lecture Notes - Lecture 99: Hypertrophy, System 6, Ossification
Document Summary
Girls continue steady increase / boys= rapid spurt of growth in strength. Strength = related to muscle mass & neurological factors (connectivity between neuron & muscle) > different country=different culture=different flexibility curve *sociocultural constraint. Girls = more flexible than boys *sociocultural constraint (flexible sports- socially acceptable) In adolescence - flexibility = variable - some lose a significant degree. Rom -> reflects activity & training more than age. Flexibility declines over lifespan with limited use (exercise) Arthrisis -> affect individuals of any age -> treatment must be age appropriate (structural constraint) Body composition = not just appearance-> related to working capacity. Obesity = at risk of disease (visceral fat = diabetes type 2) Bigorexia = boys paranoid to reach low body fat for appearance (adolescents at risk) Individuals= many cooperating systems not developing at same rate. Rate limiter/controller: system that develop last (limits dev)/declines 1st during aging (accelerates. Maturation of systems dictates motor dev. (especially cns)
