midterm 2 Flashcards
(53 cards)
kinanthropometry
size, proportionality, composition, shape (somatotype)
kinanthropometry size
stature, mass, lengths, girths, widths
Stature proportions
sitting height relative to standing height, females traditionally have longer trunks
mass proportioanlity
BMI= weight / height squared
BMI not useful for babies, muscular people etc
length proportions
crural index- lower leg relative to upper leg
brachial index- lower arm relative to upper arm
girth proportions
hip relative to waist
width proportions
shoulders relative to hips (androgyny index)
2-component model
lean body mass (skeletal muscle, bone, water) and fat body mass (storage fat and essential fat)
storage fat
energy reserve, cushions/protects organs (male 12%, female 15%)
essential fat
central nervous system (bone marrow, heart lungs, liver, intestines etc), 3% male, 12% female
waist to hip ratio
gynoid (pear)-female
android (apple)- male
excess abdominal fat leads to diabetes, hypertension etc.
somatotyping
roundness= endomorphy (female)
muscularity= mesomorphy (male)
linearity= ectomorphy
prime mover
agonists
opposing muscles
antagonists
stabilizers
support muscles and keep body stable during movement
sternocleidomastoid
origin: sternum and clavicle
insertion: mastoid process
function: flexes neck to chest (when all sides contract), rotates head (when on side contracts)
TURNING LEFT ACTIVATES RIGHT MUSCLE
erector spinae (upper portion)
origin: posterior sacrum and ilium
insertion: posterior skull
function: maintain erect position, extends neck
rectus abdominis
origin: sternum and adjacent ribs
insertion: pubic bone
function: trunk flexion and pelvis stabilization
external oblique
origin: lateral ribs downward
insertion: anterior crest of ilium, pubis, linea alba
function: trunk flexion + rotation, pelvis stabilization
internal oblique
origin: lateral crest of pubis and illium
insertion: linea alba
function: trunk flexion +rotation, pelvis stabilization
transversus abdominis
origin: lower ribs, iliac crest
insertion: linea alba
function: compresses abdomen, spine + trunk stabilization
erector spinae (lower portion)
origin: iliac crest
insertion: all vertebrae to skull
function: trunk extension, important in back injury prevention
anterior deltoid
origin: lateral clavicle
insertion: deltoid tubercle
function: shoulder flexion, internal rotation
middle deltoid
origin: acromion process
insertion: deltoid tubercle
function: shoulder abduction
