Les 2: Onderlichaam: hinge & squat Flashcards
Abduction
Moving a body part away from the body’s center (Tip: ‘b’ for ‘outward’).
Adduction
Bringing a body part closer to the body’s center (Tip: ‘add’ to bring closer).
Anteflexion
Lifting a body part in a forward direction (a type of flexion).
Anterior Pelvic Tilt
Tilting the hips forward.
Angular Motion
Body parts rotating around an axis to form a circle if completed. Also called rotational or circular motion.
Bar Path
The path a barbell takes from start to finish in a lift.
Biomechanics
Study of forces applied by and on the body and other organisms, especially during movement.
Cognition
The brain’s process of handling stimuli and making decisions, leading to action or inaction.
Cognitive Bias
An irrational or flawed thought process, leading to biased learning or judgment.
Confirmation Bias
The tendency to favor information that confirms existing beliefs or opinions.
Medial Rotation
Rotating inward.
Exo-rotation
Rotating outward (Tip: ‘exo’ for ‘external’).
External Forces
Forces like body weight and those we exert on our surroundings.
Fulcrum
the support about which a lever pivots.
Flexion Moment
a bending movement around a joint in a limb (as the knee or elbow) that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint
Flexion Arm
In a deadlift, a fixed position where the back is intentionally rounded to shorten the lever arm. Used by top powerlifters.
Frontal Plane
The plane dividing the body into front and back. Movements like arm abduction and shoulder rotation occur in this plane.
Lever
lever is a simple machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum. A lever is a rigid body capable of rotating on a point on itself. On the basis of the locations of fulcrum, load and effort, the lever is divided into three types.
Heuristic
A scientific strategy for systematically solving problems and discovering things methodically.
Hindsight Bias
The tendency to believe one had predicted an event after it occurs.
Hip Dissociation
Lumbopelvic dissociation refers to the ability to move your hips (or pelvic bone), independently from your low back (lumbar spine). Research shows that low back pain may occur more frequently in individuals who have reduced lumbopelvic dissociation, and spinal body awareness. A pure hip flexion where the lumbar spine remains immobile and stiff.
Hip Hinge
Bending at the hips, similar to how a door hinge moves. Essential for movements like bending and lifting.
Hypothesis
A theory formed based on the information and context available, suggesting a likely scenario or explanation.
Internal Forces
The forces exerted by muscles to create controlled movements, both pulling and pushing on limbs and joints.
Intuition
The ability to understand or know something immediately without conscious reasoning, often referred to as a ‘gut feeling.’
Line of Pull/Action
The vertical line downwards from a center of gravity due to gravity, creating resistance or load.
