Movement Analysis

Created in the body by the musculo-skeletal system

Facilitate physical work by making it easier to move heavy objects or perform quick movements.

What are the 4 components of Lever System?

Fulcrum is between components.

 Load is between components.

Effort is between components.

Throwing comprises two phases

In which the movement occurs

producing the movement

The function of the muscles involved

The type of contraction

The range of the muscle action

occurs in a sagittal plane about a frontal axis and involves the hip, knee and ankle joints.

Each of these joints produces two actions, one when the leg is in contact with the ground (driving phase) and one when the leg is not in contact with the ground (recovery phase).

Most actions are rotational in the transverse plane and longitudinal axis and the two joints primarily involved are the elbow and shoulder.

Most actions are rotational in the transverse plane, and longitudinal axis and the three joints concerned are the wrist, elbow and shoulder.

There are two phases to striking a ball with a racket

The action in jumping takes place in a sagittal plane about a transverse axis and involves the hip, knee and ankle joints.

The kicking action takes place in a sagittal plane about a frontal axis and involves the hip, knee and ankle joints.

Quadricep muscles

Hamstring muscles

Gluteus Maximus

Abdominal muscles

is defined by reference to a plane or axis.

a vertical plane which passes from front to rear, dividing the body into right and left sections.

which passes from side to side at right angles to the sagittal plane which divides the body into a front and back section.

a horizontal plane which divides the body into an upper and lower section.

any plane through the body that is not parallel to one of the former three.

passes from side to side at right angles to the sagittal plane.

passes horizontally from front to rear, lying at right angles to the frontal plane.

passes from head to foot at right angles to the transverse plane.
