Foundations of Exercise SCIENCE CHAP 2 Flashcards
kinetic chain
nervous, muscular + skeletal systems create movement.
kinesiology
study of human movement
biomechanics
study of how FORCES affect a LIVING BODY.
Anatomic position
standing up straight, arms beside trunk, palms and head face forward.
Anatomic Locations (10)
ANTErior, POSTerior, SUPerior, INferior, proximal, distal, medial, lateral, contralateral IPsilateral
Anterior -Anatomic Location
toward or on FRONT SIDE of the body
Posterior -Anatomic Location
toward or on BACK SIDE of the body
Superior -Anatomic Location
Above a landmark or CLOSER TO THE HEAD
inferior -Anatomic Location
toward the bottom part of the body or CLOSER TO TEH FEET
proximal -Anatomic Location
closer to the CENTER of the body
Distal -Anatomic Location
FARTHER from the CENTER of the body or a LANDMARK
Medial -Anatomic Location
toward the MIDLINE (imaginary VERTICAL line that splits the body in equal halves)
lateral -Anatomic Location
FARTHER from the midline (vertical line, splitting bdoy)
CONTRAlateral -Anatomic Location
on the opposite side of the body
IPSilateral -Anatomic Location
on the same side of the body
Sagital plane
DIVIDES BODY - Right And left. MOVEMENTS- forward + back (walking, cycling, squatting)
Frontal plane
DIVIDES BODY- front & back half MOVEMENT-side to side (jumping jacks, side lunges)
Transverse plane
DIVDES BODY- Top & bottom MOVEMENTS- Rotational (roundhouse kicks, lunges with rotation)
SAGITAL PLANE- joint movements + exercises
JOINt- Flexison, extention. EXERCISE- bicep curl, squat, running
