Detailed explanation-1: -The short-term effects of exercise on the skeletal system include the increased production of synovial fluid within joints. This reduces the impact of exercise on the joint and helps to increase the range of movement (’rom’). This is the reason why we participate in a warm up prior to exercise.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tip. Short-term effects of exercise on the skeletal system include the start of bone remodeling and strengthening. Over time, bone strength and density increase, circulation of blood and synovial fluid improves, and your strength and range of motion increase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Importance of exercise: The synovial membrane produces synovial fluid, and production is increased when exercise increases circulation of fluid and nutrients to these membranes. Any physical activity can stimulate lubrication in your joints, but some exercises in particular may be most beneficial.
Detailed explanation-4: -As rheumatoid arthritis progresses, the synovium, which produces synovial fluid, swells and thickens, producing an excess of synovial fluid. This, in turn, leads to further swelling and inflammation which causes pain and stiffness in the joint.
