1. Basic Kinesiology Kinesiology-the study of movement
Brings together anatomy, physiology, physics, and geometry as they relate to the human bodies movement.

2. Basic Kinesiology
Biomechanics-mechanical principles that relate directly to the human body.
Can be relative to the extremities or an implement such as a bat or racket
Can be static(nonmoving) or dynamic(moving) activities.
Read paragraph 3-4 on page 3 and paragraph 1 on page 4-6

3. Basic Kinesiology
Anatomical Position- human body standing upright, eyes forward feet parallel, arms at side, and hands with palms facing forward.

4. Basic Kinesiology-types of motion
Linear Motion- a straight line from one point to another.
Rectilinear Motion-straight line like a player running across a field.
Curvilinear Motion- straight line but in a curved path, like a diver leaving the diving board.

5. Basic Kinesiology-types of motion
Angular Motion- Rotary motion is when all the parts of the object move through the same angle, same direction at the same time, but do not move the same distance.
When you flex your elbow your hand and wrist travel a different distance through space.

6. Basic Kinesiology-types of motion
Generally speaking most movement within the body is angular, most movement outside the body is linear.
Get into groups of 3 and create a list:
2 linear movements
2 angular movements
2 combination movements

7. Joint Movements
Arthrokinematics: relationship of joint surface movement. The humeral head’s movement within glenoid fossa of scapula.
Osteokinematics: relationship of the movement of bones around a joint axis. Humerus moving on scapula

8. Kinesiology Movements of Synovial Joints
Flexion-decrease angle between 2 bones
Extension-increase angle between 2 bones
Hyperextension-increase angle between 2 bones beyond the normal range of motion (ROM).

9. Kinesiology Movements of Synovial Joints
Abduction-Limbs only-limb moves away from the midline of the body.
Adduction-Limbs only-limb moves toward the midline of the body.
Rotation-when a bone
turns on its axis
towards or away
from the midline of the body

10. Movements of Synovial Joints
Circumduction- the ability of a limb to move in a circular path around an axis.
Supination- moving into a supine position.
Pronation- moving into a prone position.
Plantarflexion- pointing toes down, “planting the foot”
Dorsiflexion- bringing the toes up

11. Kinesiology Movements of Synovial Joints
Plantarflexion- pointing toes down, “planting the foot”
Dorsiflexion- bringing the toes up

12. Kinesiology Movements of Synovial Joints
Inversion- turns the sole of the foot inward, medially.
Eversion- turns the sole of the foot outward, laterally.
Protraction- occurs in the transverse plane, moving the body part forward
Retraction- occurs in the transverse plane, moving the body part backward
