Q

Give a practical example at the ankle joint

A

Contemporary dancers use their feet to shape their bodily movements, concentrically contracting their gastrocnemius and soleus to plantar flex the ankle creates a fully extended finish to the leg in a split jump or to go en-pointe

Q

Give a practical application of the knee joint

A

Essential for creating power in a football penalty shot by concentrically contracting the bicep femoris flexes the knee joint in the preparation phase. Concentrically contracting the rectus femoris extends the knee joint in the execution phase through a large range of motion

21
Q

What is the agonist muscle for lateral rotation of the hip?

A

Gluteus maximus

22
Q

Give a practical example of movement at the hip

A

Olympic weightlifting in the upward phase of a squat, the gluteus maximus will act as the agonist to concentrically contract to create hip extension while the ilipsoas, as the antagonist, co-ordinates the action

23
Q

What type of joint is the elbow?

A

Hinge

24
Q

What are the articulating bones at the elbow?

A

Humerus, radius and ulna

25
Q

What plane does the elbow move in?

A

Sagittal

26
Q

What is the agonist for flexion of the elbow?

A

Bicep brachii

27
Q

What is the agonist for extension of the elbow?

A

Triceps brachii

28
Q

Give a practical example of the elbow joint

A

Creating power in a netball shot, in the preparation phase, the bicep brachii concentrically contract to flex the elbow, lowering the ball. In the execution phase, the tricep brachii concentrically contract to extend the elbow joint through a large range of motion to generate force to apply to the ball

29
Q

What type of joint is the shoulder?

A

Ball and socket

30
Q

What are the articulating bones of the shoulder?

A

Humerus and scapula

31
Q

What plane does the shoulder move in?

A

Sagittal, Frontal, Transverse

32
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder flexion?

A

Anterior deltoid

33
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder extension?

A

Posterior deltoid

34
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder adduction?

A

Latissimus dorsi

35
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder flexion?

A

Posterior deltoid

36
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder adduction?

A

Latissimus dorsi

37
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder abduction?

A

Middle deltoid

38
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder horizontal flexion?

A

Pectoralis major

39
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder horizontal extension?

A

Posterior deltoid and teres minor

40
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder medial rotation?

A

Teres major

41
Q

What is the agonist for shoulder lateral rotation?

A

Teres minor

42
Q

Give a practical example of the shoulder

A

To mobilise the shoulder as part of a warm up, you may use star jumps in which the middle deltoid will concentrically contract in the upward phase to abduct the shoulder joint

43
Q

What joint type is the wrist?

A

Condyloid joint

44
Q

What are the articulating bones of the wrist?

A

Radius, ulna and carpals

45
Q

What plane does the wrist move in?

A

Sagittal

46
Q

What is the agonist for wrist flexion?

A

Wrist flexors

47
Q

What is the agonist for wrist extension?

A

Wrist extensors

48
Q

Give a practical example of the wrist

A

Basketball players concentrically contract the writs flexors which act as the agonist to flex the wrist as the ball is released in a jump shot, this enable back spin n the ball which causes it to ‘pop up’ from the back board rather than roll off
