Abstract:
The tremendous surge of interest in sports participation and body conditioning in this country has necessitated technical advances in the field of sports medicine to diagnose and treat a variety of related injuries that are increasingly confronting orthopaedic surgeons. Perhaps the two areas of the body that deserve discussion are the advances in surgery of the knee and the shoulder. In both joints, the development of arthroscopic techniques and treatment has been perhaps the greatest advancement in the past 25 years.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise and Cardiac Output
Sustained exercise increases the muscles' oxygen demand, which can be...
