Human movement concepts and components Flashcards
(35 cards)
What is the Dynamical systems theory?
Movement patterns emerge naturally from the interaction between the individual, the environment, and the task.
Explain the capacity theory
Minds have limited amount of mental fuel, different tasks share the amount of mental fuel available.
Explain the bottleneck theory
The point in information processing where only one piece of information can be processed at a time.
Define balance
Maintenance of gravity over the base of support
Explain biotensegrity structures
Biological systems (like muscles, bones, and fascia) that maintain stability through a balance of tension and compression
What does the body’s internal framework facilitate?
It supports and connects the different sections through connective tissues of the body
How does having a poor Thomas Test impact performance with a sporting example?
Reduced hip extension limits stride length, sprinting efficiency, and kicking power.
Pelvic tilt or imbalance can affect posture and core stability, decreasing control and agility.
Increased injury risk, particularly for hamstrings and lower back, due to muscular imbalances.
Restricted movement mechanics, making it harder to perform quick changes in direction or explosive movements like jumping.
State the components needed for dynamic correspondence:
- Movement patterns
- Force application
- Acceleration
- Velocity of movement
What is dynamic correspondence, and what are the three ways we aim for it?
- That the exercise duplicate the same neuromuscular pathways, strength and muscular contraction as the skill in a competition
What is the definition of physical fitness:
The capability of the individual to meet the physical demands of a sporting activity, without excessive fatigue. Thereby leading to increased accurate and successful performance.
What are the components of physical fitness:
Strength
Endurance
Speed
Flexibility
Body Composition
What are the types of strength?
- Explosive strength
- Reactive strength
What are the types of endurance?
Cardiovascular endurance
Muscular endurance
What are the types of speed?
Max speed
Sustained speed
What are the components of motor fitness?
Power
Balance
Co-ordination
Agility
Reaction Time
What are the types of power
Power endurance
RFD
What body components allow balance to take place?
Kinetic chains
Activation of muscle groups
Bio-tensegrity structures.
What components determine co-ordination levels?
- Timing & activation / control of muscle groups.
- Cognitive cues; coaching
Focus of attention & PRP
