The injured athlete is now able to commence certain types of exercise (stretching‚ conditioning and total body fitness). Stretching restores the range of motion and helps to increase muscle and tendon length. Initially only light exercises should be used 3 times a day. An athlete who has suffered an ACL injury should perform the following exercises: • Knee bend to straighten. This exercise involves the athlete lying flat on their back then the

Essay Title: Pre-Tensioning in Civil Engineering. Introduction : The idea of pre tensioning has been around for centuries and has been applied to many forms‚ such as: wagon wheels‚ wooden barrels etc. In these cases heated metal is made to just fit an object. When the metal cools it contracts and induces prestress into the object thereby strengthening it. The idea of pretensioned concrete has been around since the late 19th century‚ but its use was limited by the quality of materials available

take the field because of a recurrent calf spasm‚ a tennis star gives up early on a match due to knee problems or a sprinter limps across the finish line with a torn Achilles tendon‚ the problem is most often neither in the musculature or the skeleton. Instead‚ it is the structure of the connective tissue – ligaments‚ tendons‚ joint capsules‚ etc. – which have been loaded beyond their present capacity (Renström & Johnson 1985‚ Counsel & Breidahl 2010). A focused training of the fascial network could

muscle bulk due to higher levels of testosterone. Increases in tendon strength - tendons are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue designed to withstand tension forces along their length. Like muscles‚ tendons adapt to the mechanical loading of regular exercise. A general adaptation is increased strength but different types of training will exert differing effects on muscle – tendon complexes. Ligaments and tendons will increase in flexibility and strength with exercise. Articular cartilage

They also need exercise. 5. Differentiate between tendons‚ ligaments and joints. A tendon is a tough band of fibrous connective tissue that usually connects muscle to bone and is capable of withstanding tension. A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. A ligament is a short band of tough fibrous
