Movement Analysis Flashcards
In cricket, players are involved in decison-making and running. The leg action in running has a drive phase and a recovery phase as shown.
i) Identify the plane and axis
ii) the agonist, action and type of contraction in the drive phase
iii) the agonist, and the type of contraction in the recovery phase
i) Sagittal plane and transverse axis
ii) HIP (Drive phase):
agonist - Gluteals
action - extension
contraction - concentric
HIP (Recovery phase):
agonist - quadriceps
action - flexion
contraction - concentric
KNEE (Drive phase);
agonist - quadriceps
action - extension
contraction - concentric
KNEE (Recovery phase):
agonist - hamstrings
action - flexion
contraction - concentric
ANKLE (Drive phase):
agonist - gastrocnemius
action - plantar flexion
contraction - concentric
ANKLE (Recovery phase):
agonist - tibialis anterior
action - dorsiflexion
contraction - concentric
Volleyball players process information to enable them to use controlled and powerful movements. In volleyball, players have to use a squat type movement when playing the ball in a dig action.
State the joint action, and type of muscle contraction taking place at the knee and ankle during the downward phase of the dig . Name the major muscles used to bring about these actions (6 marks)
KNEE
joint action - flexion
muscle contraction - eccentric
major muscle - quadriceps
ANKLE
joint action - dorsiflexion
muscle contraction - eccentric
major muscle - gastrocnemius
At positon A, a gymnast is in a headstand. At positon B, the gymnast has gone into a handstand.
i) Name the main agonist and antagonist muscles at the elbow joint in the movement from position A to B
ii) Name the articulating bones in this movement
iii) Name the type of muscle contraction taking place at position A throught to position B
iv) Identify the joint action at the elbow. Through what plane and about what axis does the arm action take place.
i) Bicep and Tricep
ii) Humerous, ulna, radius
iii) position A - isometric
position B - concentric
iv) Extension, Sagittal Plane , Transverse axis
