Human Body: Single Log Variance

1.1 Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals

Standing up is something that we have been doing since we were kids it is something that most of us would take for granted. Since, our bodies automatically adjust to the pull of gravity by increasing vascular tone, heart rate and cardiac output, blood vessels contract, heart rates increase and our systolic blood pressure which is the blood pressure when the heart is contracting. It is specifically the maximum arterial pressure during contraction of the left ventricle of the heart, remains the same or decreases slightly while diastolic pressure which is the minimum arterial pressure during relaxation and dilatation of the ventricles of the heart when the ventricles fill with blood increases slightly (Brunner & Suddarth, 2000, p. 546). Our bodies operate in perfect homeostasis and we stand up with little effort. Yet, the

Task 1: Outline the anatomy and physiology of the human body in relation to the importance of correct moving and positioning of individuals

We need to know the normal range of movement of the muscles and joints so when moving, handling and positioning a person we know the limits of each limb. We need to take into consideration other factors that may inhibit a person’s movements as:

Even athletes have issues with this position, and focus on it in their training for maximum performance. On top of that, the inability to perform this pose has been linked to damaged blood vessels in the brain--indicating a higher risk of having a stroke. Regardless, unless you practice this position regularly, it's likely that you'll fall out of a one-footed stance, even if you haven't had too much to

Walking upright with two legs is a common daily phenomenon, however, the ability of moving with only two legs is the result of millions of years of evolution and adaptation. During the process of human evolution, the appearance of bipedalism, which describes the terrestrial locomotion where animals move with their rear limbs in the form of walking, hopping or running, is considered as one of the major steps that sets Hominin group apart from other primates. Even though the transition from quadrupedalism to bipedalism has major drawbacks that sacrifice the flexibility and prevent bipeds to effectively practice arboreal locomotion, it provides a new form of locomotion and frees both hands to be capable of completing other projects while

The purpose of this experiment was to identify which flexibility measurement tests correlate with the sit-and-reach and modified sit-and-reach tests. In more recent studies, statistics have shown that both hip flexion test results and shoulder extension test results were directly correlated to modified sit-and-reach test results (Mayorga-Vega, Merino-Marban, and Viciana, 2014). The data gathered for the sample

The placement of the non kicking foot determines the direction of the kick. The support leg also acts as a stabilizer by flexing at the knee once the foot makes contact with the ground. (Lees, Asai, Andersen, Nunome & Sterzing, 2010) Pictured below in Figures 1 and 2 are two different athletes with very diverse abilities. You can see both the direction of the planted foot and the flexion of the knee in both players.

To work on the athlete balance stabilization, a few exercises can be implemented into their training program. Some exercises consist of single-leg balance progression, single-leg balance reach progression, and single-leg balance with dynamic movement progression. These exercises can help assist in the sensitization of muscles spindles leading to improvements in neuromuscular efficiency (Clark, pg. 216).
