Chapter 7 Flashcards
Any force that opposes an initial active force
Reactive forces
The basic arrangement of the body and all of our limbs.
Posture
These are our slow-twitch muscle fibers. This fiber is designed to be used for aerobic glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation. We use these for low, intensity and longer duration exercises.
Type 1 muscle fibers
These are our fast-twitch muscle fibers. These fibers are found in skeletal muscle tissue. They have low oxidative capacity but a high glycolytic capacity. These are used for quick, powerful movements
Type 2 Muscle fibers
A characteristic of joints within the body or posture that is representative of resistance to change
Stability
The level to which any articulation is able to move before the tissues that surround it stop the movement.
Mobility
The theoretical vertical line passing through the center of gravity, breaking the body into two separate hemispheres.
Line of Gravity
This occurs in the forearm only. It is internal rotation of the forearm that causes the radius to cross diagonally over the ulna and the palm and face posteriorly.
Pronation
This occurs in the forearm only. It is external rotation of the radioulnar joint causes the palm to face anteriorly.
Supination
Any movement toward the midline of the body
Adduction
Any movement that is away from the line of the body
Abduction
Prime moving muscles for squats
Quadriceps and gluten
Lordosis
Increased anterior lumbar curve
Kyphosis
Increased Posterior lumbar curve
when rotation of the foot brings the plantar surface outward
Eversion
