Joker's Classic is an annual basketball tounament that takes place in John Oliver Secondary, and last science class we were assigned to answer: Name three body systems used in basketball and describe them. The three systems I chose were the muscular system, the skeletal system, and the respiratory system. I will now explain what each of them does during a basketball game. Muscular System The muscular system is what makes your body parts move. It moves your legs when running up and down the court, taking jump shots. Your arms are moved by the muscular system when players take shots, make passes, or are dribbling the ball. Your muscular system is even working when you are simply wlaking, so imagine how hard it is working when playing in a basketball game. Your legs are moving, your arms are moving, your neck, your hips, etc. Skeletal System The skeletal system works with the muscular system to move the body, and vice-versa. Even in everyday life, not just basketball, but your skeletal system is very vital, as most systems are. If you didn't have a skeletal system, your legs wouldn't be able to support the weight of your body, and you would flop to the ground. Your bones are pulled by the muscles near the joints of the bones, so both of the systems work together to acheive movement in whatever body parts. If no one was moving in a basketball game, not only would it not be interesting, but would defeat the purpose of the game. Your muscular system is being worked very hard while playing a basketball game, and goes under a lot of stress from running and jumping. Respiratory System
As the players run along the court, take shots, jump, etc. their respiratory has to compensate for all the moving they're doing. When players get tired, they start breathing heavy, due to the lack of air from all the moving. The more they run, they start breathing faster, and in some cases will hyperventilate. The respiratory system has to control all this breathing, changing gases, transporting them from inside the lung to out or the other way. With all the stress on the lungs from so much breathing, the respiratory system does a lot of work. That will be the end. Thanks for visiting my blog!
