Musculoskeletal System

The musculoskeletal system gives us the ability to move using the muscular and skeletal systems. The musculoskeletal system provides support, stability, and movement. The musculoskeletal system also protects vital organs, and it is made up of the body's bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

You can measure the musculoskeletal system with blood and urine samples which can reveal levels of various minerals and other substances indicating disease or a musculoskeletal disorder.

You can also measure the electrical activity of muscles by measuring the speed at which nerve impulses travel along a nerve and this can shows whether the muscles are working normally.

Swollen or inflamed joints often contain an abundance of blood proteins that stick together, making them heavier than single cells. Measuring how fast these cells fall to the bottom of the tube indicates the level of inflammation.
 

A muscle biopsy means removing a small piece of the muscle to use to look for various musculoskeletal abnormalities, such as pain and inflammation and muscle wasting.

My results from the tests done in class were 19 before exercising (The Sit And Reach Test) and 21 after exercising. 

When you exercise there are several changes that can take place.  Exercise puts stress on tissue of the skeletal system which makes them stronger. It increases bone density making bones stronger. The hyaline cartilage at the end of bones becomes thicker and is better at shock absorption. Tendons become thicker and ligaments will stretch slightly helping the movement at the joint.
 

Cardiovascular

A couple of weeks ago the class did some tests and we took are pulses in my group was Sam, Jamal, Roshane, Me, Franco.
Are Results were

Sam's Before 96 During 108 After 144
Jamal's Before 60 During 72 After 108
Roshanes Before 54 During 90 After 90
Mines Before 48 During 60 After 120
Franco's Before 60 During 102 After 144

So that was are results before during and after.

Tested Blood Presure

We tested are blood presure today, we did this using sirs blood presure monitor, my blood presure was
121,64,78 my blood pressure was pe-high blood pressure so not that good for my age and i didnt even do any workout.

After my 1 minute workout my blood pressure was lower it was 117,55,77. because maybe i wasnt working hard enough.. so it was lower          This is what we used to messure are blood pressure.
