Chapter 9, Problem 7AP
Summary Introduction
To explain: The loss in spinal flexibility of approximately 50% is a result of aging process.
Concept introduction: Aging is a natural and irreversible process that starts after birth. The aging process is based on a person’s congenital traits, health status, and lifestyle. The body cells, tissues, and organs are collectively affected by aging and these changes have an effect on homeostasis. Several musculoskeletal changes will occur in the body as a part of aging.

Real life problem. You are a trainer and are called on to the field where a player is down with a severe cramp of his right hamstring (biceps femoris) muscle. You know that cramps are caused by over-active motor nerve activity to the muscle. Your associates want to stretch the cramping hamstring, but you say, “No! I want the player to concentrate on contracting his right quadriceps muscles before we stretch.” Why might stretching a cramping muscle INCREASE the cramping?arrow_forward
