fundamental movement patterns Flashcards
patterns that allow the body to be coordinated in those simple, basic movement patterns of lateral motion, weight transfer, forward motion, up and down motion, and coordinating upper and lower body movements
fundamental movement patterns
consists of pulling a weight toward your body or your body towards your hands
pull
movement involves pushing a weight away from your body or your body away from an object
push
considered to be the most complex movement the human body is capable of
squat
involves your body in a less stable position of one foot further forward than the other
lunge
are executed by kicking your butt back and leaning your torso forward while maintain a neutral spine - like when picking up something off the floor
hinge
unique from the six movements. others involve moving forward, backward, or side to side, yet this involves twisting at the core
rotation
technique of walking
gait
mostly focusing on a long and relaxing exhale and proper inhale. this is a lower threshold activity
breathing
forceful holding of breath that uses a higher threshold strategy to stabilize the thorax and pelvis
bracing
defined by changes in the length of the muscle during contraction
muscle contractions
generate force by changing the length of the muscle and can be concentric contractions or eccentric contractions
isotonic contractions
causes muscles to shorten, thereby generating force
concentric contraction
cause muscles to elongate in response to a greater opposing force
eccentric contractions
generate force without changing the length of the muscle
isometric contractions
