p1

• flexion

  decreasing the angle at a joint

  Example bending arm inwards towards the body, upward phase of bicep curl
• extention

  increasing the angle at a joint

  example- outward phase of a bicep curl
• rotation

  when the lib moves in a circular movement around a fixed joint towards or away from midline of the body

  Example – bowlers arm in cricket
• adduction

  movement towards the midline of the body

  example- inward phase of starjump
• abduction

  movement away from the midline of the body

  example- outward phase of the starjump
• plantarflexion

  planting toes down at the angle

  example - painting toes during handstand
• dorsiflexion

  toes up at the angle

  example - preparing to jump
• fulcrum 🔺

  the pivot point of the lever/pivot point of joint
• effort ⬆️

  the force applied to one part of the lever/ what is being lifted or moved/weight/ball
• load ▪️

  (resistance)

  works against the force of the effort/muscle responsible for movement
• concentric

  muscle contracts and shortens
• eccentric

  muscle lengthens under tension
• isometric

  muscle contracts but does not change length
• sagittal plane

  seperates the frontal and back parts of the body -transverse axes

  -flexion, extention

  -front somersault
• frontal plane

  seperates te front and back parts of the body -sagittal axes

  -abduction, adduction

  -starjump
• transverse plane

  seperates top and bottom of the body

  -longitudinal axes

  -rotation

  -360 twist
• transverse axes

  passes horizontally through the body from left to right

  -front flip
• sagittal axes

  passes horizontally through the body from back to front

  -cartwheel
• longitudinal axes

  Passes vertically from the top to the feet

  -360 jump
