Chapter 5 Flashcards
Name the 3 planes of motion
Sagital, frontal, and transverse
Divides body into right and left half. Flexion and extension. Walking, squatting, curling, ab crunches
Sagital plane
Divides body into back ad front. Side to side motions. Adduction or abduction, Lateral flexion, inversion, eversion (Lateral raises, side lunges, side shuffles)
Frontal Plane
Divides body into top and bottom half. Rotation motions and horizontal adductions. (Spine rotation, shoulder rotation, Hip rotation, throwing, golfing, swinging a bat)
Transverse Plane
Force is produced, muscle tension is developed, and movement occurs through a given range of motion. “constant tension”
Isotonic
3 muscle actions
Concentric, isometric, and eccentric
moving in the same direction as the resistance. Decelerates. Reduced force
Eccentric
Moving in the opposite direction of force. Accelerates, Produces force
Concentric
No movement with or against resistance. Dynamically stabilizes force.
Isometric
The speed of mvmnt is fixed and resistance varies with the force exerted. Requires special equipment.
Isokinetic
Tension while shortening or accelerating
Concentric
Tension while lengthening or deceleration
Eccentric
Muscle groups moving together to produce a joint movement
Force couple
resting length of a muscle and the tension the muscle can produce at resting length
Length tension relationship
Movement of bones around joints
rotary motion
Force that produces rotation
Torque
Difference between external and internal feedback
Internal: uses sensory info for feedback
External: provided by an outside source
Muscles ability to produce tension @ differing shortening velocities
Force velocity curve
Concentric = decreases force production
eccentric= increases “ “
Misaligned joints Like tight quads preventing the hamstrings from using appropriate force is an examples of
altered length relationship
Science concerned with internal and external forces and the effects produced by these forces
Biomechanics
