In: Anatomy and Physiology
1. Identify starting/body position for the given movement 2. Describe the movement i.e. downward/upward phase a. Flexion/extension/Ab, Adduction etc b. Identify the plane and axis of the movement c. Describe ALL joints involved and their muscle action during each phase of the exercise (concentric, eccentric, isometric) d. Identify all the muscles involved with the movement and their respective contraction
• Front squat • Pull-up (starting from the top) and Chin-up (from the bottom) • Conventional dead-lift • Arnold Press • Bench press • Supine hamstring curl on a stability ball • Nordic Curls • Inverted row
Flexion - Starting point is limb in the side of the body
Plane - sagittal plane
Axis - Frontal axis
Extension - Starting point is away from the body
Plane - sagittal plane
Axis - Frontal axis
Adduction -
Starting Limbs -limb is in side of body
Plane - Frontal plane
Axis - sagittal axis
Abduction - Limb is away from body
Plane - Frontal plane
Axis - Sagittal axis
