41
Q

What is flexion?

A

Decreasing the angle at a joint e.g. upwards phase of a bicep

42
Q

What is extension?

A

Increasing the angle at a joint e.g. throwing a ball

43
Q

What is lateral flexion?

A

Bending the spine to the side e.g. bowling in cricket

44
Q

What is abduction?

A

Movement of a limb away from the midline of the body e.g. upwards phase of a star jump at the shoulder

45
Q

What is adduction?

A

Movement of a limb towards the midline of the body
e.g. swimming breastsroke

46
Q

What is horizontal abduction?

A

Movement of a limb away from the midline of the body in the transverse plane e.g. backhand in tennis

47
Q

What is horizontal adduction?

A

Movement of a limb towards the midline of the body in the transverse plane e.g. dumbbell chest fly

48
Q

What is medial rotation?

A

Rotating a limb inwards about its longitudinal axis e.g. swimming

49
Q

What is lateral rotation

A

Rotating a limb outwards about its longitudinal axis e.g. movement at the hip to perform a side footed pass in football

50
Q

What is circumduction?

A

Movement of a limb in a circular motion e.g. over arm tennis serve

51
Q

What is pronation?

A

Rotating the radio ulnar joint so the palm faces down e.g. to produce a ball spin in tennis

52
Q

A

Rotating the radio ulnar joint so the palm faces up e.g. a goalkeeper throwing a football under arm

53
Q

A

Decreasing the angle at the joint so the foot moves towards the shin e.g. running

54
Q

A

Increasing the angle at the joint so the toes point downwards e.g. ballet

55
Q

Functions of the vertebral column

A
  • Protects the spinal cord
  • Allows movement
  • Muscle attachment of ribs protects vitals organs
  • Gives good posture

  • Each vertebrae is attached to ribs
  • Limited movement
  • Bigger than the cervical
58
Q

  • 5 bones
  • Largest vertebrae
  • More movement than thoracic
  • Supports the weight of the upper body
59

A

Curving of the spine

63
Q

A

Excessive lumbar curve

64
Q

What is kyphosis?

A

Excess thoracic curve

65
Q

Warm up effects

A
  • Warmer ligaments
  • Increased synovial fluid
  • Decreased synovial fluid viscosity
  • Increased speed of nerve transmission
66
Q

Cool down effects

A
  • Reduced doms
  • Quicker removal of lactic acid
  • Gradually reduced heart rate , breathing rate and body temp
67
Q

Short term effects

A
  • Increased synovial fluid
  • Increased pliability of ligaments
68
Q

Long term effects (positive)

A
  • More durable/stronger bones as increased bone density so more calcium which decreases the risk of fractures
  • Stronger joints as increased strength of ligaments which will prevent dislocation
  • Prevents osetoporosis which is weakening bone density
  • Decreased risk of arthritis as exercise thickens cartilage which increases synovial fluid and reduces friction so the joint can act as a better shock absorber
  • Improved posture as increased strength of core muscles reduces the risk of postural problems such as scoliosis
  • Helps manage weight as it prevents a sedentary lifestyle
69
Q

Long term effect (negative)

A
  • Negative can be minimised by using correct technique , not overtraining and applying progressive overload
  • Overuse injuries e.g. stress fractures
  • Poor technique can lead to posture problems such as scoliosis
  • Impact injuries e.g. tearing ACL or dislocating patella which can lead to repeat injuries
  • Increased risk of arthritis as poor technique can cause wear and tear of cartilage which Increases friction and decreases synovial fluid and bone spurs form
