25
Q

What is extension?

A

Increasing the angle between the bones of a joint.

26
Q

What is plantar-flexion?

A

Pointing the toes/pushing up on to your toes.

27
Q

What is dorsi-flexion?

A

Pulling the toes up to the shin.

28
Q

What is hyper-extension?

A

Increasing the angle beyond 180 degrees between the bones of a joint.

29
Q

Where do plantar-flexion and dorsi-flexion occur?

A

At the ankle.

30
Q

What is shoulder flexion?

A

Raising the arm forwards (up).

31
Q

What is shoulder extension?

A

Lowering the arm backwards (down).

32
Q

What is abduction?

A

The movement away from the midline of the body.

33
Q

What is adduction?

A

Movement towards the midline of the body.

34
Q

What is horizontal adduction?

A

Movement of the arm forward across the body at 90 degrees to the shoulder abduction.

35
Q

What is horizontal abduction?

A

Movement of the arm backwards across the body to shoulder abduction.

36
Q

Define agonist

A

The muscle that is responsible for the movement that is occuring.

37
Q

Define antagonist

A

The muscle that works in opposition to the agonist ( to help produce a co-ordinated movement).

38
Q

What is antagonistic muscle action?

A

When one muscle is acting as the agonist and the other is acting as the antagonist (working in a pair) to produce a movement.

agonist: hamstrings
antagonist: quadriceps

44
Q

What is/are the agonist(s) and antagonist(s) during knee extension?

57
Q

What is an isotonic contraction?

A

When a muscle contracts (and moves) to create movement.

58
Q

What are the 2 types of isotonic contraction?

A

Concentric and eccentric.

59
Q

What is a concentric contraction?

A

When a muscle shortens under tension to create the movement.

60
Q

What is an eccentric contraction?

A

When a muscle lengthens under tension or performs negative work and acts like a brake.

61
Q

What is an isometric contraction?

A

When a muscle is under tension but there is no visible movement.
