Internal / External Forces

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Force
Definition
Internal Forces (muscle strength)   Skilled movement depend on the summation, continuity and direction of forces  
🗑
Summation of forces   Achieved by combining the forces generated by several different joints and muscle groups (tug of war)  
🗑
Continuity of forces   Movement should begin with the larger muscle groups and progressively move towards the smaller muscles.  
🗑
Direction of forces   For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.  
🗑
Errors of direction of force   Strength imbalance. Incorrect body position. Poor technique.  
🗑
External Forces   Gravity. Depending on the position of the limb or body, the same movement can work different muscle groups.  
🗑
Inertia   Resistance to a change in motion. Force is required to slow down, stop and change direction of movement. More momentum more force is required.  
🗑
Levers   Rigid body that rotates about an axis or fulcrum. Muscluar force is applied where muscle inserts in the bone and not in the belly of the muscle, or at the joint itself,  
🗑
