PATHFIT Flashcards
in physical fitness is the study of the mechanical aspects of human movement
BIOMECHANICS
encouraging people to do regular physical activity in more safer and effective way
PROMOTE HEALTH
designing fitness gear and equipment to better support natural body movements and reduce injury risk
Equipment Improvement
to understand how injuries affect movement and how to recover properly
Rehabilitation Support
identifying risk factors and improper movement patterns that could lead to injuries
Injury prevention
applying biomechanical principles to optimize athletic performance
Enhance Performance
by analyzing how the body moves
understand movement
is the ability to keep your body steady and upright
balance
are simple machines that help lift or move heavy objects. In the body, bones act as levers.
Levers
refers to how objects move from one place to another.
motion
it is a push or pull that can change the motion of an object.
Force
the quantity of motion an object has, depending on its mass and speed.
momentum
is the study of the forces that cause motion and changes in motion
kinetics
is the study of forces acting on stationary objects and the conditions for equilibrium
statics
is the study of motion without considering the forces that cause it.
kinematics
is the broader branch of mechanics that studies the motion of objects and the forces that influence that motion
dynamics

2 under of clinical biomechanics
prosthetics and orthotics
refers to any change in position or posture of the body or its parts.
body movement
refer to the body’s movements, where the body travels from one location to another point.
locomotor movements
refer to the body’s movements without allowing the body to travel.
non locomotor movement
other term for locomotor movements
axial movement
give the 2 under of locomotor movement
even and uneven
are a particular set of skills that require the use of different body parts.
fundamental movement skills
skills involve maintaining control of the body in various positions and movements.
body management skills
it involves moving the body from one place to another and include various types of movement patterns.
locomotor skills
also known as manipulative skills, involve the use of hands and feet to control objects
object control skills
EXAMPLE OF FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS
throwing
-catching
-kicking
-stiking
-dribbling
IMPORTANCE OF FMS:
•Physical Development
•Sports Participation
•Social Interaction
This involves recognizing and understanding your own body’s movements, sensations, and positioning.
body awareness
This refers to the ability to perceive and understand the space around you, and how objects relate to one another in that space
spatial awareness
This involves understanding and interpreting directions in relation to yourself and your environment.
directional awareness
This is the perception of time and its passage, which helps us manage schedules, anticipate events, and coordinate activities
temporal awareness
This encompasses the understanding of how you and others interact, both physically and emotionally.
relationship awareness
refer to various approaches that will help you or your team successfully achieve a movement outcome or goal.
movements strategies
provide a solid foundation for physical activities in any environment, with or without any equipment.
