Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years, to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising.
1. What can happen to muscles and tendons when a person plays sports?
2. What can take months or sometimes even years to heal?
3. What can stretching before and after exercising do?
Level#2
Muscles and tendons can be injured when you play sports. An injured tendon can take months, and sometimes even years, to heal. You can avoid this trouble by doing a lot of stretching before and after exercising. Stretching keeps both muscles and tendons flexible. Good technique will also help you avoid injury. For example, lifting weights the wrong way often leads to and injury.
1. What can you injure when you play sports?
2. Why is an injured tendon a problem that can keep you from playing for a long time?

For example, lifting weights the wrong way often leads to and injury. Most important, if something hurts, stop! Do not act as if an injury is not there. You will just make it worse. If you feel pain or discomfort in your muscles or tendons, rest for a few days. If it does not go away, see a doctor.
1. What takes longer to heal, a muscle or a tendon, and how long can it take to heal?
2. What are the two methods for avoiding injury to your muscles or tendons?

1. What are bones attached to that allow you to move?
2. What type of muscles can you control so that you can move?
3. How do voluntary muscles work to allow you to move your skeleton?
Level#2
Skeletal muscles are attached to your bones. They are voluntary muscles. You can control when voluntary muscles move. This type of muscle moves your skeleton by pulling on tendons attached to bones. When a muscle moves, it contracts, or shortens. When a muscle relaxes, it lengthens. Muscles can only pull. For this reason, skeletal muscles work in pairs. Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones.
1. Explain how skeletal muscle allows you to move.
2. Explain what happens when a muscle moves and what happens when it relaxes.
3. Skeletal muscles can only pull. Explain how they move bones?

Most voluntary muscles work in teams of two to move bones. For example, the upper arm has the biceps and triceps muscles. The biceps muscle is the muscle in the front of your upper arm. The triceps muscle is in the back of your upper arm. The two muscles work together when you move your arm.
1. Explain what type of muscles skeletal muscles are, what they can do, and what a muscle does when it moves.
2. Since muscles can only pull, explain how muscles work to move bones and give an example of a pair of muscles that do this.
