23
Q
isotonic
A
the muscle changes in length during the contraction
24
Q
concentric
A
muscle contractions which shortens under tension
25
eccentric
muscle contraction which lengthen under tension
26
isometric
the muscle contracts, but does not change in length
27
flexion/extension
decreasing/ extending the angle at a joint
28
adduction/ abduction
sideways movement limb towards/ away from the midline of the body
29
medial/ lateral rotation
the movement is towards/away from the midline of the body spinning and turning
30
dorsiflexion/ plantarflexion
pushing toes up/ down
31
circumduction
joints moving in a circular motion
32
horizontal flexion/ extension
movement of a limb parallel to the ground forward/backward
33
flat bones
sternum, ribs, pelvis, cranium
34
long
femur, radius, tibia and humerus
35
short

sesamoid
patella
38
frontal plane
plane lies vertically and divides the body front and back
eg. cartwheel
39
sagittal plane
plane lies vertically and divides the body into left and right
eg. front flip
40
transverse
plane lies horizontally and divides the body into upper and lower
eg. pirouette
41

44
gliding
spine
45
pivot
arm
46
agonist
a contracting muscle responsible for creating movement at a joint (prime mover
47
antagonist
a muscle that opposes the agonist providing a resistance for coordination movement
48
fixator
a muscle that stabilises one part of the body while another causes movement
