Biomechanics
Newtons 3 laws
Inertia; Force = Mass x Acceleration; and Action and Reaction
Focuses on how the body moves and functions in practical, everyday activities.
What is Functional kinesiology
Specific: The goal should be clear and detailed rather than vague.
A principal used as the framework for developing a physical activity plan to meet fitness goals
What is the F.I.T.T Principal
A personalized plan that outlines specific exercise activities designed to help individuals achieve their fitness, health, or performance goals.
What is Exercise Prescription
The most common in the body. Example: your elbow joint when lifting a dumbbell.
What are Third-Class Levers
When the muscle generates force without changing length
What is Isometric Contractions
The R in S.M.A.R.T Goals
Relevant:The goal should align with a person’s broader fitness objectives and motivation.
The F in the F.I.T.T Principal
What is Frequency: How often you exercise
Forces that act on the body from outside, like gravity or friction. For example, friction helps your shoes grip the ground while running.
What External Forces?
Like a seesaw. Example: tilting your head backward.
What are First-Class Levers
The muscle shortens as it contracts
What is Concentric Contractions?
The A in S.M.A.R.T Goals
Achievable: The goal should be challenging yet realistic, based on current fitness level, resources, and time.
The 2nd T in the F.I.T.T Principal
What is Type: What kind of exercise you do
Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility, Body Composition
What is the 5 Components of Fitness
Like a wheelbarrow. Example: standing on your toes.
What are Second-Class Levers
The muscle lengthens while contracting
What is Eccentric Contractions?
The T in S.M.A.R.T Goals
Setting a deadline creates a sense of urgency and helps with planning
The I in F.I.T.T Principal
What is Intensity: How hard you exercise
The factors considered in exercise prescription
What is Health Status, Fitness Level, Age and Gender, Personal Goals, and Preferences
The functions and types of joints
Ball-and-socket (shoulder, hip): allow for a wide range of motion.
Hinge (elbow, knee): allow bending and straightening.
Pivot (neck): allows for rotation.
Gliding (wrist): allows bones to glide over one another.
Production that provides quick bursts of energy
What is ATP
The M in S.M.A.R.T Goals
Measurable: Having a way to measure progress makes it easier to stay motivated.
The 1st T in the F.I.T.T Principal
What is time: How long each exercise session lasts
Forces produced by muscles and joints inside the body to create movement. = allows for precise control of movement and posture.
What are Internal Forces
