Our Targets For Today By the end of the lesson we will all be able to : By the end of the lesson we will all be able to : 1. Name the major muscles in the body. 2. Locate the major muscles of the body. 3. Understand what FLEXION and EXTENSION mean in relation to movement.

What are we going to learn and how are we going to work? We are going to learn about how muscles enable us to move. Working in groups at stations to experience the actual movement of different muscle groups.

The Major Muscles Task 1 Task 1 You are now going to learn the names of the major muscles. You are now going to learn the names of the major muscles.

Names and Location of the Major Muscles

How do our muscles work? We use our muscles for everyday and sporting activities such as walking, running and jumping. Our muscles work in PAIRS; as one muscle contracts (shortens) the other one relaxes (lengthens) to allow the movement we all can see and perform.

Types of movement The two types of movement we will be focusing on are flexion and extension. The two types of movement we will be focusing on are flexion and extension.  Flexion = Bending  Extension = Straightening Flexion Extension

Exercising our muscles Task 2 You are now going to perform a circuit to exercise your muscles. Each station has the name of the muscle being worked. As you are going around the circuit try to think about when you are flexing and extending your muscles, and what muscles are creating these movements.

The Circuit Station 1 Bicep Curl Station3 Squats Station 5 Standing Long Jump Station 4 Chest Pass Station 2 Tricep Dip Station 6 Sit ups

Have we achieved our Targets? Can we now: 1.Name the major muscles in the body. 2.Locate the major muscles of the body. 3.Understand what FLEXION and EXTENSION mean in relation to movement.
