Movement Anaylsis

Question 1

Describe the sagital plane of movement?

Answer 1

-it splits the body into left and right

-extension and Flexion take place here

Question 2

What is a practical example for the sagital plane?

Answer 2

Leg and arm action (Flexion and extension) during running

Question 3

Describe the frontal plane?

Answer 3

-it divides the body into font and back

• abduction and adduction take place here

Question 4

Give a practical example of the frontal plane?

Answer 4

Star jumps

Question 5

Describe the transverse plane?

Answer 5

-It divides the body into upper and lower parts

-horizontal Flexion, horizontal extension, rotation and circumduction take place here

Question 6

Give a practical example of a transverse plane?

Answer 6

At the shoulder circumduction when bowling in cricket

Question 7

What are muscle contractions?

Answer 7

-it’s when the muscle generates a force and is under tension

Question 8

What are are the different types of muscle contractions?

Answer 8

• isometric
• isotonic

-concentric

-eccentric

Question 9

What is a isotonic muscle contraction?

Answer 9

It’s when a muscle changes length during its contraction, this can happen in two ways: eccentric & concentric

Question 10

What is a concentric muscle contraction?

Answer 10

It’s when the muscle gets shorter when generating a force

Question 11

What is an eccentric muscle contraction?

Answer 11

It’s when a muscle gets longer whilst generating a force.

Question 12

What is an example of a concentric muscle contraction?

Answer 12

Upwards phase of a bicep curl (the bicep brachii concentrically contracts lifting the weight up to the shoulder)

Question 13

What is an example of an eccentric muscle contraction?

Answer 13

Downwards phase of a bicep curl, the bicep brachii contract eccentrically to lower the weight down under control ( acts as a brake)

Question 14

What is an isometric muscle contraction?

Answer 14

It’s when the muscle doesn’t change length whilst contracting

Question 15

What is an example of an isometric muscle contraction?

Answer 15

During plank the rectus femoras contracts isometrically

Question 16

What type of joint is the hip and shoulder

Answer 16

Ball and socket

Question 17

What type of joint is the ankle, elbow and knee?

Answer 17

Hinge joint

Question 18

What type of joint is the wrist joint?

Answer 18

Condyloid joint

Question 19

What muscle movements take place at the shoulder?

Answer 19

Flexion, extension, horizontal Flexion, horizontal extension, abduction, adduction, medial rotation and lateral rotation

Question 20

Describe the agonist and antagonist of Flexion at the shoulder joint?

Answer 20

Agonist- anterior deltoid
Antagonist- posterior deltoid

Question 21

what are the agonist and antagonist of horizontal flexion?

Answer 21

The opposite of Flexion

Question 22

What is a practical example of horizontal Flexion?

Answer 22

Execution of forearm in tennis

Question 23

Describe the agonist and antagonist of horizontal extension at the shoulder?

Answer 23

Agonist- posterior deltoid
Antagonist- pectoralis major

Question 24

What is an example of horizontal extension?

Answer 24

Preparation phase of forearm in tennis

Question 25

Describe the agonist and antagonist of abduction?

Answer 25

Agonist- medial deltoid
Antagonist- latissimus dorsi

Question 26

Give an example of abduction at the shoulder?

Answer 26

Outward phase of star jump

Question 27

Describe the agonist and antagonist of medial rotation?

Answer 27

Agonist- pectoralis major
Antagonist- teres minor

Question 28

What is a practical example of medial rotation at the shoulder?

Answer 28

Top spin in tennis

Question 29

What is a practical example for lateral rotation at the shoulder?

Answer 29

Backhand top spin in tennis

Question 30

Give a practical example of circumduction at the shoulder?

Answer 30

Front crawl whilst swimming
