Wolfs Law –
a bone is capable of adjusting it’s strength in
proportion to the amount of stress (or lack of stress) placed on it

Factors that Affect Bone Density




Diet
Genetics
Activity
Bone Density Theory – bone density “CAN” increase until about
age 35 years. Then depending on the above factor it will begin to
decrease

Brain
Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System


Sensory Neurons (information in)
Motor Neurons (information out)
Nervous System
Motor Units –
certain # of skeletal muscle fibers and
the motor neuron that innervates (connects) with them

Motor Units can have vary # of muscle fibers connect with it’s
correlating motor neuron

This is how we can produce varying force production

Muscle Fiber Types


Slow Twitch – lower # of Muscle Fibers per motor neuron
Fast Twitch – higher # of Muscle Fibers per motor neuron
Cardiovascular System
