22
Q

What do you need a foundation in for structural kinesiology?

A
  • Anatomy (Musculoskeletal)
  • Physiology (Neuromuscular)
  • Physics (Biomechanics)
23
Q

What are some reasons someone would study kinesiology?

A
  • To analyze movement and understand the underlying principles that influence movement
  • Improve human condition
  • Teach effective performance for successful participation
  • Improve human structure
  • Learn joint structure and exercise tolerance that influence rehabilitation prescriptions
  • Learn about common injuries and prevent them
  • Restore impaired function
  • Help compensate for lost function
  • Win by improving performance
  • Coaching
  • Optimize training and guard against deleterious actions (push someone)
  • Present a skill and emphasis points when teaching
24
Q

What movements are considered in kinesiological analysis?

A
  • Sport
  • Exercise
  • Dance
  • Leisure Activities
  • Posture
  • Gait
  • Tools and Household implements
  • Workstations
  • Modification to accommodate impaired function
25
Q

What is the underlying aim of kinesiological knowledge?

A

Helping people perform with optimum safety, effectiveness and efficiency

26
Q

Describe safety.

A

Ensuring that exercises and activities are conducted in a way that prevents injury and protects participants by using correct techniques and appropriate equipment.

27
Q

Describe effectiveness.

A

Achieving the intended goals of the exercise or intervention, such as improving fitness or recovery, in a way that produces the desired results.

28
Q

Describe efficiency.

A

Accomplishing the goals of the exercise or intervention with the least amount of ENERGY while maximizing benefits.

29
Q

True or False?
Making changes to an athletes performance will improve their winning, prevent injuries, and help their stamina.

A

False. Making changes does not guarantee any of this. Different DOES NOT mean better.

30
Q

What is Quantitative Research based on?

A
  • Numerical Data
  • Data Collection
31
Q

What is the difference between kinetic and kinematic?

A

Kinetic - Looks at why things move, focusing on the forces and impacts that cause movement.

Kinematic - Looks at how things move, like their speed and direction and the PERCEPTION of time and space.

32
Q

What is Qualitative Research based on?

A
  • Non-numerical Data
  • Observation
33
Q

What careers use qualitative research?

A
  • Coaching
  • Physical Therapy
  • Athletic Training
34
Q

What is anatomy and what is it useful for?

A
  • Structure of the body
  • Assessing Injury
35
Q

What is functional anatomy and what does it focus on?

A
  • Body components necessary to achieve movement
  • Focuses on function
36
Q

Why are reference systems important?

A

For accurate description and observation

37
Q

What are axes?

A

Imaginary lines that intersect at right angles

38
Q

What is an origin?

A

The point of intersection on an axis

39
Q

True or False?
We move in planes and rotates about axes.

A

True.

40
Q

What is a relative description of movement?

A

The movement of a segment described relative to an adjacent segment.

41
Q

What is an absolute description of movement?

A

The reference for a movement does not change.

42
Q

What does a relative description of movement apply to?

A

Joints

43
Q

What does an absolute description of movement apply to?

A

Segments

44
Q
