how to calculate mechanical advantage
effort arm / weight
mechanical avantage of a first class lever
the effort arm needs to be longer than the load arm
mechanical advantage of a second class lever
always has a mechanical advantage of greater than 1
mechanical advanatge of a third class lever
has a mechanical disadvantage
examples of flexion
donward phase of a push up, backwards phase of a throw in
examples of extension
upwards phase of push up, realeasing the ball from throw in
shoulder action during a cricket bowl
circumduction of the arm around the shoulder,, rotation on the arm as it goes forward
plane
imaginary flat surface across which the body moves in
axis
imaginary line through the body where it rotates
what movements happen in the sagitall plane and transverse axis
running, flexion, extension, bending rolling
what movements happen in the frontal plane and sagittal axis
sidestepping , sidways adduction and abduction, cartwheels
what movements happen in the transverse plane and longditudinal axis
twisting, rotating, spinning
