  1. Because of the increase in: the necessity to be physically fit to perform at a competitive level and the need to promote healthy lifestyles it is important that performers and coaches are able to: design appropriate training programmes, develop correct technique, minimise the risk of injury, optimise performance. UNIT 1 - Information The knowledge of the structure and function of the Body Systems is vital to this end.

  2. UNIT 1 - Information The skeletal and muscular systems work together to allow movement for physical activity. A The respiratory and cardiovascular systems work together to supply oxygen/ energy for muscle contraction. B

  3. There are 206 bones in a human skeleton cranium clavicle mandible scapula sternum rib humerus vertebra radius pelvis ulna sacrum cocyx carpals metacarpals phalanges femur patella tibia fibula tarsals metatarsals UNIT 1 - Information The Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems Show / hide bone names Show / hide arrows

  4. The skeleton has many FUNCTIONS when taking part in physical activity. These include: Providing SUPPORT for the movement taking place. PROTECTING vital organs against impact and injury. Producing RED BLOOD CELLS which help carry O2 (Oxygen) for exercise. Providing points for MUSCULAR ATTACHMENT – ORIGIN/ INSERTION. Allowing MOVEMENT through the JOINT and LEVER systems. UNIT 1 - Information GCSE Physical Education

  5. UNIT 1 - Information IRREGULAR (Provides support and protection) e.g. vertebrae LONG (Provides effective levers for movement) e.g. femur SHORT (Well adapted to resist compression forces and help in performing fine movements) e.g. carpals BONES FLAT (Protective function) e.g. sternum

  6. UNIT 1 - Information APPENDICULAR Arms, shoulders, hips, legs SKELETON Skull, spine, sternum, ribs AXIAL

  7. Physical activity stimulates the production of bone tissue to compensate for the stresses of training. If the intensity is too high, damage and injury of the bone can occur e.g. shin splints. Reduced stress results in bone weight and strength reduction – ATROPHY – usually after a lay-off due to injury. It is important to return to full training slowly, to allow the bones to adapt. UNIT 1 - Information

  8. JOINTS Joints enable the body to move. Joints are the place where 2 bones meet. Each type of physical activity will make particular demands on certain joints e.g. butterfly swimmers require a wider than natural range of movement at the shoulder joint – ball and socket. Joints are structured for either STRENGTH or MOBILITY: UNIT 1 - Information SHOULDER JOINT Shallow cavity to allow more movement but is less stable HIP JOINT Supports body weight – is more stable – less movement allowed

  9. Good joint mobility is often an essential requirement to good performance in physical activity and has implications regarding training programmes. Joints can be classified according to the amount of movement they allow: UNIT 1 - Information 1) IMMOVABLE / FIBROUS JOINTS These joints are fixed and no movement is possible. Examples are found in the skull and pelvic girdle – areas of the body where great strength is required. 2) SLIGHTLY MOVABLE / CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS There are small gaps between the bones at these joints, filled with CARTILAGE to prevent grinding and enable slight movement. Examples are found between the vertebrae and between the ribs and sternum. 3) FREELY MOVABLE / SYNOVIAL JOINTS

  10. The majority of joints in the body are synovial – they allow the greatest range of movement. The bones are linked by LIGAMENTS. There are 6 types of synovial joint, and each type has its own characteristic range and type of movement. They are designed to stop and prevent friction between the moving bones. Examples are the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle joints. These joints are important for physical activity – they are often put under a great deal of stress (e.g. the knee), but are so designed to be robust and withstand pressure. UNIT 1 - Information

  11. TYPE OF MOVEMENT FLEXION – Reducing the angle at a joint (bending). UNIT 1 - Information

  12. TYPE OF MOVEMENT EXTENSION – Increasing the angle at a joint (straightening). UNIT 1 - Information

  13. TYPE OF MOVEMENT CIRCUMDUCTION – A circular movement, which combines flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction so that the movement of the body-part describes a cone shape. UNIT 1 - Information

  14. TYPE OF MOVEMENT ROTATION – Is a circular movement made by a joint. UNIT 1 - Information

  15. TYPE OF MOVEMENT ABDUCTION – Is the sideways movement at the hip and shoulder joints away from the body. UNIT 1 - Information

  16. TYPE OF MOVEMENT ADDUCTION – Is movement at the hip and shoulder joints towards the body. UNIT 1 - Information

  17. UNIT 1 - Information SECTION B

  18. UNIT 1 – Information Ball and socket

  19. UNIT 1 - Information Hinge Hinge

  20. UNIT 1 - Information Pivot Atlas Vertebrae Axis

  21. UNIT 1 - Information Condyloid Condyloid joint Movement GCSE Physical Education

  22. UNIT 1 - Information The Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems Saddle Saddle joint

  23. UNIT 1 - Information Gliding Gliding occurs between the small bones

  24. Strong joints are essential for: Coping with stress of physical activity. Contributing to a healthy, active lifestyle. Making skilled movements. UNIT 1 - Information FUNCTIONS OF LIGAMENTS, TENDONS AND CARTILAGE Ligaments, tendons and cartilage provide the strength, mobility and protection needed to help the joints, increase the flexibility and provide a greater range of movement.

  25. Ligaments are strong, fibrous, non-elastic bands of tissue which attach bone to bone across a joint. They control the movement and the stability of the joint. They hold a joint in place. They prevent unwanted movements at a joint. UNIT 1 - Information LIGAMENTS Information/Discussion CARTILAGE Practical Application • Cartilage protects bone. • It is a tough, smooth tissue that covers the end of bones and acts as a shock absorber. • It reduces friction between the bones. • Cartilage damage may occur over a period of time because of the constant stress/ impact and twisting/ turning of physical activity. Links Diagram/Table Activity Glossary GCSE Physical Education SECTION B

  26. Tendons attach MUSCLE to BONE. They are strong but flexible. When muscles contract (shorten), they exert a pull on that tendon which acts across the joint to make a joint move. UNIT 1 - Information TENDONS GCSE Physical Education

  27. UNIT 1 - Information The Muscular, Skeletal, Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems The structure of a knee joint showing the bones, ligaments, tendons, muscle and cartilage involved Tendon (this joins muscle to bone) Muscle Ball-shaped end to long bone of leg or femur (rounded ends to bones ensure easy movement with little friction) Patella (kneecap) Synovial fluid (oils or lubricates the joint helping it to move more easily) Cartilage (smooth, slippery, reduces friction, helps to reduce shock) Show Bone Show Muscle Ligament (tough strip of tissue joining bone to bone) Show Tendons Tibia Show Ligament Show Cartilage GCSE Physical Education

(For (iii), remind groups that muscles can only PULL. Also, a muscle must span a joint if it is to move it – ORIGINS/ INSERTIONS). UNIT 1 – Practical Application

  30. 3. Class activity: e.g. Hockey – group to identify the function of the following structures in a warm-up: Synovial fluid; Ligaments; Articular cartilage. UNIT 1 – Practical Application 4.

  31. 5. In a game of hockey e.g. identify when a player would use: a) mainly FAST TWITCH fibres; b) mainly SLOW TWITCH fibres. Do different positions in a game of hockey place different demands on muscle fibre demand, and if so, why? UNIT 1 – Practical Application Ball Games: Joint Movement 6. Work with a partner and identify basic body movements, joints and analysis of specific movements from chosen activities. 7. Consider the factors affecting performance and participation e.g. age and range of movement around a joint. 8. Identify the joints involved in, for example, throwing a ball (netball). 9. Identify the joints involved in, for example, kicking a ball (football). 10. Discuss the different types of movement around a joint. 11. Develop by pupils choosing their own activity and identifying movements at joints. 12. The above links with ‘specific’ training sessions and ‘specific’ training methods for sporting activity.
