Phases of movement

    Cards (22)

    • What are the three phases of sporting movements?
      Preparation, execution, and follow through
    • What is the purpose of the anatomical analysis of muscles in sporting actions?
      To break down important parts of movements
    • What occurs during the preparation phase of a sporting movement?
      • Agonist muscles are relaxed
      • Antagonistic muscles stay relaxed
      • Agonists at shoulder and elbow aim
    • What is the role of agonist muscles in the preparation phase?
      They are relaxed to allow contractions
    • Why do antagonistic muscles remain relaxed during the preparation phase?
      To allow contractions and sufficient velocity
    • How do agonists at the shoulder and elbow assist a basketball player?
      They help aim towards the basket
    • What happens during the execution phase of a sporting movement?
      • Agonist muscles are activated
      • Signals sent to equipment
      • Antagonistic muscles remain relaxed
    • What is the role of agonist muscles during the execution phase?
      They are activated to meet the target
    • What do agonist muscles signal during the execution phase?
      They signal the equipment to continue forward
    • Why do antagonistic muscles stay relaxed during the execution phase?
      To allow the agonist to contract
    • What occurs during the follow through phase of a sporting movement?
      • Concentric contractions in agonists
      • Produce force at shoulder and elbow
      • Complete the follow through of the shot
    • What type of contractions occur in the agonists during the follow through phase?
      Concentric contractions
    • What is the purpose of the agonist contractions during the follow through phase?
      To complete the follow through of the shot
    • What muscles are involved in shoulder flexion and elbow extension during sporting actions?
      • Shoulder Flexion: Agonist - anterior deltoid
      • Elbow Extension: Agonist - triceps, Antagonist - latissimus dorsi
    • What is the agonist muscle for elbow extension?
      Triceps
    • What is the agonist muscle for shoulder flexion?
      Anterio deltoid
    • What role do synergists and fixators play in sporting actions?
      They stabilize the shoulder joint
    • How do muscles operate at the knee and hip for a gymnast moving to a squat?
      • Agonists and antagonists work together
      • Synergists stabilize the movement
      • Flexion and extension occur at joints
    • What is the primary action of the biceps during flexion to extension?
      Agonist
    • What is the primary action of the triceps during flexion to extension?
      Antagonist
    • What is the significance of the analysis of muscles in sports?
      It enables understanding of movement mechanics
    • What are the key components of a sporting movement analysis?
      • Phases of movement: preparation, execution, follow through
      • Muscle roles: agonists, antagonists, synergists
      • Joint movements involved
