Part 2- Movement Analysis Flashcards
Sagittal plane
Splits the body into left and right
Flexion and extension occurring the saggital plane
Working backwards and forwards
Frontal plane
Splits the body from front to back
Abduction and adduction occur
Side to side
Transverse plane
Splits the top of the body and the bottom
Rotation occurs in the transverse plane
Fulcrum
A fixed pivot point
Effort
The source of energy to move the resistance or weightc
Resistance
The weight/resistance load to be moved
3 different planes in the body
Sagittal
Frontal
Transverse
3 different axes in the body
Transverse
Sagittal
Longitudinal
6 planes and axis that match together
Sagittal and transverse
Frontal and Sagittal
Transverse and longitudinal
Where is a first class lever found
At the elbow joint
Where is the second class lever found
Found at the ankle
Third class levers are found
Biceps acting at the elbow joint
Agility
The ability to move and change direction quickly
Balance
The maintenance of the centre of mass over the base of the support
Static balance
Balancing whilst still
Dynamic balance
Maintaining balance whilst moving
Co-ordination
The ability to use two or more different body parts together
Flexibility
The range of movement possible at a joint
Reaction time
The time taken to initiate a response to a stimulus
Speed= distance x time
The maximum rate at which an individual can perform a movement or cover a distance
Cardio vascular endurance
The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles
Muscular endurance
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to undergo repeated contractions
Power is
Strength x speed
Strength
The ability to overcome a resistance
Maximal strength
The largest force possible in a single maximal contraction
Dynamic strength
Similar to muscular endurance
Explosive strength
Similar to power
Static strength
The ability to hold a body part or limb in a static position
