Exam Revision Flashcards
Muscle Type and Characteristics.
Relates to the speed which they contract. Three main types.
SLOW TWITCH
•Type One: Slow twitch, oxidative, red, size remains unchanged, aerobic, long distance.
FAST TWITCH
•Type Two: Fast twitch, oxidative, white. size grows significantly, Anaerobic, Sprinters.
•Type Three: Fast twitch, glycolytic, white.
Action of Latissimus Dorsi
Extend, internally rotate and adduct shoulder.
Action of Abdominals
Flex and rotate trunk.
Action of Deltoid
Flex, extend, rotate and abduct shoulder.
Action of Biceps
Flex elbow, supinate forearm.
Action of Triceps
Extend elbow.
Action of Hand Flexors
Flex wrist and finger.
Action of Hand extensors
Extend wrist and fingers.
Action of Quadriceps
Extend Knee, assist Flexion of the hip
Action of Hamstrings
Flex Knee, extend hip, tilt pelvis posteriorly, rotate femur.
Action of Gastrocnemius
Plantarflex foot at ankle, flex knee
Recovery Techniques
- Ice Baths
- Cool Down (Redistribute blood flow from muscles to organs)
- Stretching (Prevents delayed onset muscle soreness)
Summation of Momentum
•Sequential- The summation of momentum takes places when the body parts involved in the performance of the skill, move in a sequential way, moving the largest parts of the body first to the smallest.
-As one body part reaches peak performance, the next body part begins to move.
•Simultaneous- Only relevant body objects are moved together in a simultaneous action, rather than a sequential pattern.
Different Types of Joints: Hinge
Eg: Knee, Elbow, Fingers.
-One axis and only allows Flexion and extension.
Different Types of Joints: Pivot
Eg: Elbow, Skull on vertebra.
-One axis and only allows rotation.
Different Types of Joints: Gliding
Eg: Wrist, Ankle.
-Allows sideways, backwards and forwards movements.
Different Types of Joints: Ball and Socket
Eg: Shoulder, Hip.
-Able to move in all directions.
Different Types of Joints: Saddle
Eg: Thumb.
-B, Axial, forward, backwards and sideways movements.
Different Types of Joints: Ovoid
Eg: Wrist
-Allows sideways, backwards, forwards, two axis.
Different Types of Joints: Cartilaginous
Eg: Vertebra
-Partially moveable.
Different Types of Joints: Fibrous
Eg: Skull, Coccyx, Jacrum
-Immoveable.
Joint Movement Terminology
- Straightening Leg: Extension
- Bending Leg: Flexion
- Toes up towards Tibia: Dorsi Flexion
- Pointing the Toes: Plantar Flexion
- Palms Down: Pronation
- Towards the midline of the body: Adduction
- Away from the midline of the body: Abduction
- Turning the Head: Rotation
- Foot inwards at the ankle: Inversion
- Foot outwards at the ankle: Eversion
- Shoulder rotating in a circle: Circumduction
Newton’s First Law of Motion (Inertia)
All bodies will continue in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
