| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Definition Kinesiology | the study of human movement from 3 fields physical science. Mechanics: biomechanics Musculoskeletal anatomy Neuromuscular Physiology |
| Who Study Kinesiology | Physical therapy, athletic training, orthopedic, physical ed & personal training |
| Reasons to Study Kinesiology | Teach safety, Study/teach gait, posture |
| 5 components to teaching/analyzing movement | 1. Describing-logical/systematic a. preparatory b. Central c. Terminal |
| 5 components to teaching/analyzing movement (2) | 2. performing movement 3. practicing. client practices 4. observe and evaluate 5. prescribe/correct |
| structural kinesiology - | the story of muscles |
| anatomical position | most widely used and accurate for all aspects of the human body. person stands upright facing straight ahead |
| fundamental position | essentially the same as the other reference exposition except the arms are at the sides and the palms are facing the body |
| Bones | vary in size/shape |
| Joints | a place where bones meet and are attached to each other and to muscles. Vary in structure and function. |
| Muscles | vary greatly-size 600+ muscles in body. |
| Reference Lines: Midaxillary line | a line running vertically down the surface of the body passing through the apex of the armpit) |
| anterior axillary line | is parallel to the mid-axillary line and passes through the anterior axillary skinfold |
| posterior axillary line | parallel to the mid-axillary line and passes through the posterior axillary skinfold |
| mid-clavicular line | runs vertically down the surface of the body passing through the midpoint of the clavicle |
