Question

Explain what bursitis is and what characteristics the mentioned sporting activities have in common (cycling, tennis, long-distance running.) *Any help is very much appreciated!*

Answer 1

Bursitis is when the small fluid filled sacs around the joints called bursae are irritated or injured. In just about any joint the effects can be felt with pain in movement and when pressed upon. Sometimes a rash will occurs as well. Bursitis is more common in those who perform the same kinds of movements everyday and put stress on their joints.

Answer 2

Bursitis is the inflammation of the bursae. Cycling, long-distance running, and tennis tend to overuse particular joints, which results in the inflammation of the bursae.

Step-by-step explanation:

Between the tendons and muscles of our body that are in direct contact with bones, there is a sac filled with synovial fluid. This sac is called bursae, and it reduces the friction between the tendon/muscle and the bone in a joint, giving a lubricated surface that makes the movements smoother and painless. When we use a joint excessively, the bursae inflames, which causes bursitis, a condition where the bursae lose its function, and the movements are painful.

In sports like cycling, tennis, and long-distance running, there is excessive use of some joints that can cause bursitis. In the case of cycling and long-distance running, bursitis is on the knee joints. In tennis, the bursitis is on the wrist.
