Skeletal and muscle systems

Question 1

What movements occur in the Sagittal plane? And e.g

Answer 1

Flexion/ extension
Dorsi flexion / plantar flexion
E.g bicep curl
E.g plantar- taking off in high jump

Question 2

What movements occur at the frontal plane? And e.g

Answer 2

Abduction and adduction
E.g lat raises

Question 3

What movements occur in the transverse plane ? And e.g

Answer 3

Horizontal flexion and extension
E.g horizontal extension occurs in the preparation phase of a discus throw
Rotation
E.g forehand groundstroke with topspin and the humerus rotates at the shoulder joint laterally in the prep phase

Question 4

Qualities of a slow oxidative muscle fibres

Answer 4

• structurally designed to store oxygen in myoglobin
  -mitochondria
• small amount of force but resist fatigue
• most optimal for marathon runners

Question 5

Qualities of fast oxidative

Answer 5

• designed to produce high amounts of force quickly
• capacity to resist fatigue
  -best for 800m
