CH 7 Human Movement Science

Question 1

Regional Interdependence Model

Answer 1

Concept describing the integrated functioning of multiple body systems or regions of the body

Question 2

Biomechanics

Answer 2

Study of mechanical laws or principles relating to the movement of the body. Internal and external forces acting on the body and the movements they produce

Question 3

Kinesiology

Answer 3

Study of movement as it relates to anatomy and physiology

Question 4

Osteokinematics

Answer 4

Movement of a limb that is visible

Question 5

Arthrokinematics

Answer 5

Joint surface movements (roll, slide and spin

Question 6

Abduction

Answer 6

Movement in the frontal plane away from the midline of the body

Question 7

Adduction

Answer 7

Movement in the frontal plane back toward the midline of the body

Question 8

Inversion

Answer 8

Moving the foot inward with toes pointing medially

Question 9

Eversion

Answer 9

Moving the foot laterally so the the toes face out

Question 10

Isotonic Muscle action

Answer 10

Force is produced and muscle tension is developed. (resistance)

Question 11

Isometric

Answer 11

No visible change is muscle structure (plank)

Question 12

Eccentric muscle action

Answer 12

Extending the muscle (lowering a bicep curls)

Question 13

Concentric Muscle Action

Answer 13

Flexing the muscle (raising a bicep curl)

Question 14

Muscle Action Spectrum

Answer 14

The full range of eccentric, isometric and concentric muscle contractions required to perform a movemnt

Question 15

Feed Forward Activation

Answer 15

When a muscle is automatically activated in anticipation of a movement

Question 16

Agonist

Answer 16

The main muscle providing force / movement

Question 17

Synergists

Answer 17

Secondary or helper muscles to perform an action

Question 18

Stablilizers

Answer 18

Muscles that help to stabilize (hold) a muscle

Question 19

Antagonist

Answer 19

Opposite muscle of an agonist

Question 20

Length Tension Relationship

Answer 20

The resting length of a muscle and the amount of tension it can produce at this resting length

Question 21

Stretch Shortening Cycle

Answer 21

Loading of a muscle eccentrically to prepare for a rapid concentric contraction

Question 22

Series elastic component

Answer 22

Springlike noncontractile component of muscle and tendon that stores elastic energy (squatting before a jump)

Question 23

Amortization Phase

Answer 23

Transition from eccentric to concentric

Question 24

Integrated Performance Paradigm

Answer 24

To move with efficiency, forces must be dampened (eccentrically) stabilized (isometrically) and then accelerated (concentrically)

Question 25

Force Couple Relationship

Answer 25

Synergistic action of multiple muscles working together to produce movement around a joint

Question 26

Local Muscular System

Answer 26

Attach at or near the vertebrae and help to stabilize the body

Question 27

Global Muscular System

Answer 27

Larger and tend to function across one or more joint (movement system)

Question 28

Deep Longitudnial Subsystem (DNS)

Answer 28

Muscles of the lower legs

Question 29

Gait

Answer 29

Walking / Running

Question 30

Posterior Oblique System (POS)

Answer 30

lats, thoracolumbar fascia and gluteus maximus

Question 31

Anterior Oblique System (AOS)

Answer 31

Adducter (inner thigh muscles) and external obliques

Question 32

Lateral Subsystem

Answer 32

Lateral hip (gluteus medius) and medial thigh thigh muscles (adductors)

Question 33

Types of levers

Question 34

Motor Behavior

Answer 34

The HMS response to internal and external environment stimuli. The study of motor behavior examines the manner by which the nervous, skeletal and muscular systems interact to produce skilled movement using sensory information from internal and external environments

Question 35

Motor Control

Answer 35

How the CNS integrates internal and external sensory information with previous experiences to produce a motor response

Question 36

Motor Development

Answer 36

Cumulative changes in motor behavior accumulated throughout the life span

Question 37

Motor Learning

Answer 37

Practice and experience

Question 38

Muscle synergies

Answer 38

Groups of muscles that are recruited simultaneously by the CNS to provide movement

Question 39

Sensorimotor Integration

Answer 39

The ability of the nervous system to gather and interpret sensory information and to select and execute the proper motor response. The nervous system dictates movement
