Types Of Movement Flashcards
Which type of movement is walking and freestyle?
Antiphase movement
Define antiphase movement
Different muscles working at the same time to allow the body to brace as the centre of gravity moves over the hip and the pelvis
Define in phase movement
Limbs moving in same direction at the same time
Define synergy
Multiple muscles contracting together
Someone doing a freestyle/front crawl
Antiphase movement
Someone walking along the ground
Antiphase movement
Someone hopping around
Inphase pattern
Concentric
Muscle shortens during force application
Eccentric
Muscle lengthens during force application
Isometric
No change in length during force application
Example of concentric
Lifting
Example of Eccentric
Lowering
Example of isometric
Holding
What does ISO stand for in isometric
Stays the same, doesn’t change
What does metric stand for?
Distance
Although there is no change in length in isometric muscle contractions, what is still applied?
Force
which kind of muscle contraction is a plank?
Isometric
If someone goes for a big run UP a hill, which muscle contraction activity are they largely using?
Concentric
If someone goes for a big run DOWN a hill, which muscle contraction are they largely using?
Eccentric
Which energy systems are commonly used for resistance training?
Anaerobic energy systems
Does anaerobic energy generation use oxygen?
No
What is required in endurance training to sustain the exercise?
Oxygen
List 2 examples of endurance exercise
Running and swimming
Define Open kinetic chain movement
where the distal segment can move freely
Define distal
At the end of the body, distant
Opposite of distal
Proximal
Define proximal
Close to your body
Give 2 examples of distal body parts
Hands and feet
Which kind of activities are open kinetic chain movements used in?
Strength based activities
When should you use open kinetic chain movements?
When you are wanting to isolate certain segments
