Just watched some basketball and parkour videos and I was wondering how their bodies can handle it
In: Biology
Our bodies adapt to how we use them. They are resilient and amazing.
Joints are made up of bone, cartilage, and muscle. As long as we get used to new activities slowly and build up over time, bones get stronger, cartilage gets more resilient to load, and muscles get stronger. All of these protect us.
Joints wear over time due to age; this is normal. Being strong protects us from the negative effects of this.
