1. What is your essential question?
How can a physical therapist best help a patient recover from a volleyball injury?

2. What is your second answer to your essential question (write your second answer in a complete sentence)?
In order for a physical therapist to help recover a patient from a volleyball injury they will need to go through proper strength and endurance training.

3. What are three details to support or justify your second answer (details are examples or facts)?

• you need to do excercises that are targeted for the specific injury in order to regain strength back
• by proper strength and endurance you will need to gain back your ROM( range of motion)
• you need to alternate different types of strength training to work out whole body as well ex) doing cardio, arobics 

From Article:

• Increased muscle mass* and strength
• Increased utilization of motor units during muscle contractions
• Improved coordination of motor units
• Increased strength of tendons, ligaments, and bones
• Increased storage of fuel in muscles
• Increased size of fast-twitch muscle fibers (from a high-resistance program)
• Increased size of slow-twitch muscle fibers (from a high-repetition program)
  Increased blood supply to muscles (from a high-repetition program) and
  improved blood vessel health
• Biochemical improvements (for example, increased sensitivity to insulin)
• Improved blood fat levels

5. What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?
 I plan on going more into depth with the body. I want to learn more about how endurance and strenghting effect your muscles, tendons, and ligaments or how it helps build back up again.
 I also have a personal trainer at the gym that I go to and he is always here for me if I ever have any questions regarding my topic which will be very helpful for this answer.
