ISSA Unit 4 KINESIOLOGY OF EXERCISE

Question 1

What is Kinesthesis?

Answer 1

the ability to perceive your position and movement of the body in space.

Question 2

what are the types of muscle contractions?

Answer 2

concentric, eccentric and isometric

Question 3

what type of contraction can generate more strength - concentric or isometric?

Answer 3

isometric can generate 20% more strength

Question 4

What is a prime mover or an agonist?

Answer 4

the main muscle used in a concentric contraction

Question 5

In a curl, what is the antagonist muscle?

Answer 5

tricep

Question 6

What is helping synergy?

Answer 6

when two muscles contract simultaneously produce movement

Question 7

What is true synergy?

Answer 7

when a muscle contracts to stop the secondary action of another muscle

Question 8

What is an example of helping synergy?

Answer 8

when the internal and external obliques contract to prevent rotation during a sit up

Question 9

What are the four types of movement?

Answer 9

sustained force movement, dynamic balance movement, ballistic movement and guided movement

Question 10

What is sustained force movement?

Answer 10

movement in which continuous muscle contractions occur in order to keep moving a weight.

Question 11

What is the transverse plane of motion?

Answer 11

Divides the body into top and bottom (superior and inferior)

Question 12

True or False: The transverse plan passes through the body in a line parallel to the ground

Answer 12

True

Question 13

What is the frontal plane of motion?

Answer 13

Divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) parts.

Question 14

What is the sagittal plane of motion?

Answer 14

Separates the body into right and left sections.

Question 15

Which plane of motion does the bicep curl occur on?

Answer 15

The sagittal plane (Which divides the body into right and left

Question 16

Abduction and Adduction occur on which plane of motion?

Answer 16

The Frontal (divides the body into front and back)

Question 17

What is abduction?

Answer 17

Movement away from the midline of the body

Question 18

What is adduction?

Answer 18

Movement towards the midline of the body

Question 19

Which plane of motion does rotation occur on?

Answer 19

Transverse (Divides the body into top and bottom)

Question 20

True or False: Flexion decreases the angle between two bones while extension increases the angle between two bones.

Answer 20

True

Question 21

What is pronation?

Answer 21

laying face down.

Question 22

What is supinated?

Answer 22

laying face up.

Question 23

True or false: in a pronated grip the palms face toward the body.

Answer 23

False

Question 24

True or false: in a supinated grip the palms face toward the body.

Answer 24

True

Question 25

Arm circles are an example of what type of movement

Answer 25

circumduction

Question 26

What type of movement occurs when both the agonist and the antagonist contract to control the movement.

Answer 26

Guided movement

Question 27

What type of movement occurs when there are constant agonist-antagonist muscle contractions to maintain a certain position or posture?

Answer 27

dynamic balance movement

Question 28

What type of movement occurs when there is inertial movement after an explosive or quick, maximum force contraction.

Answer 28

Ballistic movement
