Movement Descriptors
When bending down to pick something up off of the floor, this is the movement happening at both knees and hips.
What is flexion?
This is what it is called when the human body is challenged repeatedly, and it gradually develops the capacity to manage that challenge.
What is adaptation?
This type of alignment is important for both athletes and dancers when they are in motion, although it varies drastically depending on the style of dance or sport.
What is dynamic?
High repetitions and low resistance are required for training this.
What is training for muscular endurance?
During a developpé devant in parallel, what movement is happening at the knee?
What is extension?
Another name for the line running through the middle of the body and dividing it from right to left is called the following.
What is midsagittal or median?
When you train for a particular skill or sport, you're applying this Principle of Conditioning.
What is specificity?
A dancer is required to do one extra thing beyond that of an athlete while performing physical feats. It is the following:
What is appear at ease, perform or consider artistry/aesthetic value?
The habitual misalignment that dancers often get corrections about in class causes an arch in the lower back. An example of a correction one might hear as a result of this misalignment may be to neutralise the pelvis. What is the position of the pelvis when the lumbar spine is in lordosis?
What is an anterior tilt?
When you bend to the right side, this movement is happening.
What is right lateral flexion?
In a forward lunge, the primary plane of movement is the following:
What is sagittal?
It takes two weeks to lose what it took six weeks to gain. This is an example of this Principle of Conditioning.
What is reversibility?
Most dancers have this physical trait that goes beyond that of an athlete?
What is increased flexibility?
Learning a new skill and making changes in real-time or on-boarding changes over time requires what type of control.
What is neuromuscular control?
When the hip is turning out, this is the anatomical movement descriptor to describe it.
What is external or outward rotation?
During an arm swing where the arms swing to the sides of the body adducting and abducting, this is the plane of movement.
What is frontal?
In order to avoid injury, training volume increases should take place slowly over time. This is an example of which Principle of Conditioning?
What is progressive overload?
This type of training or "rehearsal" can take place for injured athletes or dancers. It involves going through each movement without actually doing what?
What is moving? Also accepted, what is mental rehearsal?
These are the sensors in your body that help provide neurological information regarding spatial awareness.
What are proprioceptors?
If you start standing in parallel and you bring the leg into a side T position, this is the correct movement descriptor.
What is abduction?
When spotting a pirouette, this is the plane of movement that the cervical vertebrae are moving upon.
What is transverse?
Improper alignment and inefficient muscular activation are often associated with this Principle of Conditioning.
What is compensation?
An athlete will use their hands to develop increased hand-eye coordination. A dancer will use their feet to refine their movements for precision en pointe. This is the sensor feedback system that allows for these refined movements.
What are proprioceptors?
What is horizontal abduction?
