Presentation Transcript

  1. Adaptations to Bone, Muscle, and Connective Tissue Chapter 4

  2. Objectives • Describe the anatomy of bone, muscle, tendon and ligaments • Discuss the response of the tissues above to training • Design a program to stimulate growth of the above tissues

  3. BoneModeling • Wolff’s Law- bone responds by adapting to applied stress • Osteoblasts (formation of bone) • Osteoclasts (removal of bone) • Collagen matrix • Periosteum (outer covering) • Trabecular bone (spongy) • Cortical bone (solid)

  4. Skeleton • Axial skeleton- skull, spinal column • Appendicular skeleton- upper extremity, shoulder girdle, lower extremity, pelvic girdle

  5. Bone Hypertrophy • Minimal essential strain- the threshold stimulus for the formation of new bone • Activities must be weight-bearing to stimulate increases in bone density

  6. Bone Atrophy • Bone atrophy occurs with • Bed rest • Prolonged inactivity • Space travel • Osteoporosis • Menopause related • Age related • Female athletic triad (disordered eating, amenorrhea and osteoporosis. A female athlete can have one, two, or all three parts of the triad.

  7. Designing training programs to elicit osteogenic stimuli • Specificity of loading- perform exercises that stress the part of the skeleton where increases in bone density are desired • Axial loading • Exercise selection- force vectors through the spine and hip, multiple muscles, multi-joint, use greater absolute loads

  8. Designing training programs to elicit osteogenic stimuli • Progressive overload- gradually increase the training loads • Training variation- vary the selection of exercises to vary the distribution of forces

  9. Mechanical Loading of the Musculoskeletal System • Magnitude of the load (intensity) • Rate (speed) of loading • Direction of the forces • Volume of loading (sets x repetitions)

  10. Activity and Bone Density • Resistance exercise- few studies have looked at bone mineral density with resistance training, results are variable, no studies focus on the rate and magnitude of loading • Aerobic exercise- high intensity repetitive activities such as rowing, stair climbing, and running have been moderately successful in demonstrating bone mineral density increases

  11. Resistance Exercise Rx for Stimulating Bone Density • Volume 3-6 sets, up to 10 repetitions • Load- 1RM to 10RM range • Rest- 1-4 minutes • Variation- periodized • Exercise selection- structural exercises: squats, cleans, deadlifts, bench presses, shoulder presses

  12. Muscular Adaptation • Specific to fiber type recruited • Hypertrophy • Hyperplasia

  13. Training for Muscle Strength • High resistance, near maximal muscle actions, few number of repetitions, complete recovery between sets, stimulate FT muscle fibers

  14. Connective Tissue Adaptation • Type I collagen is a protein that is the major collagen fiber in bone, tendons, and ligaments • Fibroblasts, cells that synthesize new materials, synthesize procollagen • Procollagen consists of three strands of protein in a triple helix

  15. Microfibril- parallel arrangement of collagen filaments • Collagen “cross links” (covalent cross linking) to increase tensile strength • Collagen is in the extracellular space- outside the cell membrane

  16. Ligaments, Tendons, and Fascia • Ligaments- connect bone to bone • Tendons- connect muscle to bone • Fascia- fibrous covering of skeletal muscle • Endomycium, perimysium, epimysium

  17. Cartilage • Provide a smooth articulating surface between two bones in a joint • Act as a shock absorber • Aid in attaching muscles to bone • Limits translation

  18. Cartilage • Chondrocytes- cells that produce cartilage • Hyaline cartilage (articular cartilage) covers the ends of long bones • Ground substance- gel-like carbohydrate material in the type II collagen of cartilage • Fibrous cartilage- tough fibrous bundles of type I and type I collagen, intervertebral disks, menisci

  19. Tendons and Ligaments • In aerobic exercise, collagen metabolism increases to repair collagen damaged during exercise • In high intensity exercise, there is a net growth of connective tissue (ligaments and tendons) causing an increase in cross-sectional area and strength • Ligament/bone attachment is the weakest link in that system

  20. Changes in Tendon • Increase in collagen fibril diameter • A greater number of covalent cross-links within a fibril of increased diameter • An increase in the number of collagen fibrils • An increase in the packing density of collagen fibrils • Enhanced ability to withstand greater tensile forces

  21. Effects of Physical Activity on Cartilage • Cartilage gets its nutrient supply from synovial fluid • Joint movement (exercise) increases the nutrient supply to cartilage • Immobilization of a joint causes death of chondrocytes and resorption of cartilage matrix

  22. Moderate aerobic exercise increases cartilage thickness • Severe aerobic exercise or anaerobic exercise does not appear to cause degenerative joint disease

  23. Next Class • Chapter 21 Aerobic
