25
extension beyond normal limits of the body
hyperextension
26
the act that typically moves a limb AWAY from the midline of the body.
abduction
27
the act that typically moves a limb TOWARDS the midline of the body.
adduction
28
when a limb rotates in the transverse plane going towards the midline of the body
internal rotation
29
when a limb rotates in the transverse plane going away from the midline of the body
external rotation
30
What's an example of horizontal adduction?
a chest fly
31
What's an example of horizontal abduction?
a rear deltoid fly
32
the act of moving the shoulder blades away from the midline
scapular motion
33
the act of moving the shoulder blades in the direction of the midline
scapular retraction
34
the act of elevating the shoulder blades towards the superior
scapular elevation
35
the active lowering of the shoulder blades towards the inferior
scapular depression
36
contraction is accompanied by the shortening of the muscle tissue
concentric (muscle action)
37
contraction accompanies by the lengthening of the muscle tissue
eccentric (muscle action)
38
when no change in the length of the muscle happens
isometric (muscle action)
39
when the contraction speed of a muscle is constant
isokinetic (muscle action)
40
any movement that results in the speeding up or slowing down of an object
force
41
the perfect length of a muscle that will result in the most force produced; the ability of a muscle to produce force at its current range.
length-tension relationship
42
the movement of a system or force that typically leads to a rotation; something that tends to produce rotation or torsion.
torque
43
the rotational movements from the joints
rotary motion
44
What is sensorimotor integration?
how the muscular and nervous systems cooperate in order to gather and interpret information to execute a movement.
45
the cumulative sensory input to the CNS from all various mechanoreceptors that sense limb movement and body position.
proprioception
46
What does proprioception training target and improve?
coordination, posture, and balance
47
muscle controlled by the CNS to produce the same movements
synergistic muscles / muscle synergy
48
the maturation of muscle coordination
motor development
49
the process of improving one's motor skills with practice; results in lasting changes / one's overall capability of responding
motor learning
50
the process where people use cognition in order to coordinate the muscles and limbs of the body
motor control
51
the overall study of motor development, learning, and control; one's response to external and internal stimuli from the environment.
motor behavior
52
information one gathers about their performance from external sources (visual, verbal, or written)
external feedback
53
how one personally feels after they have practiced or performed a certain skill.
internal feedback
54
biological system where the response of the output affects the initial input; sensory system gathers input from motor system in order to adapt/learn new motor skills.
feedback system
55

59
the transverse plane splits the body into...
upper and lower (inferior and superior) sections.
60
the axis of rotation in the transverse plane is...
longitudinal / vertical
61
the joint motions in the transverse plane are...
pronation, supination; internal / external rotation; horizontal abduction / adduction.

67
What are some examples of common force couples?
Hip/Knee extension during walking/running/climbing; gluteus max, quads, and calves. Elbow Flexion/Bicep Curls; shortening of the brachioradialus, brachial, and biceps brachii.
68
Describe a Type I Lever...
the fulcrum sits directly between the energy moving the weight, and the weight itself.
69
What are some examples of a Type I Lever?
scissors, seesaws, crowbars, a hammer extracting a nail...
70
Describe a Type II Lever...
the fulcrum is at one end, the weight is in the middle, and the force is being applied on the opposite end.
71
What are some examples of a Type II Lever?
wheelbarrows, can openers, staplers.
72
Describe a Type III Lever...
the fulcrum is on one end, the weight is on the other, and the force(s) being applied are in the middle. ***Note that with this type, more force needs to be applied, but in return the weight gets moved a much large distance.
73
What are some examples of a Type III Lever?
fishing rod, broom, baseball bat.
