Watching Myself On Tape Analysis

and stability allowing the knee joint to slightly rotate the body before and while releasing the ball and lastly the tarsals,metatarsal and phalanges (comprise the bones of the foot to allow

*John Guido and Sherry Werner make a point that “The stride leg functions to dynamically stabilize the hip and knee joints in a single leg stance to maintain standing posture for

In this phase the athlete is standing in a neutral position holding the ball. The metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal (great and lesser toes) are held at slight flexion pressed against the ground by an isometric contraction of the flexor halluces longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor digitorum longus. The ankle is plantar flexed using an isometric contraction of the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The tibiofermoral (knee) joints are slightly flexed by a isomectric contraction of the quadriceps muscles (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius). The acetabularfemoral (hip) joint is held at a postion of slight flexion through an isometric contraction of the biceps femoris, pectineus, iliacus, and the psoas. The intervertebral (lumbar) joint is extended by an isometric contraction using the erector spinae. The atlantooccipital (cervical spine) joint is flexed by an isometric contraction erector spinae. Both scapulothroracic (shoulder girdle) joint is protracted by an isometric contraction of the serratus anterior and pectoralis minor. The glenohumeral (shoulder) joint is at internal rotation by an isometric contraction using the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, and the subscapularius. The humeroulnar (elbow) joint is at 90 degrees of flexion by an isometric contraction using the biceps brachii, brachioradialis, and brachialis. The radiocarpal (wrist left and right)

My experience with the live demonstration left me with mixed feelings. After 10 weeks in the classroom I have gained a lot of information but most of all learnt several effective communication skills to use in different situations when interacting with people. However, sitting face to face with someone where I am playing the role of a professional counsellor; is a bit frightening. During the session I tried to pay attention to the person in front of me

On Monday, we continue to do the floor stretches which it helps me a lot because I feel that I am stretched well enough to do anything. After the stretches we all went to the side to practice pique turns. I kept spotting the whole time, so I won’t get dizzy when I was turning. We also tried our right and left leaps across the room. Then we tried the open side leap in which I master, but I still have to bring it higher like the rest of my classmates.

2001, Withrow, Huston et al. 2006). Quadriceps inserts on the proximal-anterior part of tibia and isolated contraction of the muscle will cause anterior translation of tibia in relation to femur, putting strain on the ACL and possibly rupture the ligament (Renström, Arms et al. 1986, DeMorat, Weinhold et al. 2004, Withrow, Huston et al. 2006). Furthermore, landing and cutting manoeuvres produce abduction, adduction and rotational torques about the hip and knee (Besier, Lloyd et al. 2001). Without an opposing force to these torques the loaded leg(s) will be forced into the valgus position with the femur adducted and internally rotated, the tibia externally rotated and the knee abducted further increasing strain on the ACL (Markolf, Burchfield et al. 1995). Ireland (2002) has characterized this the position of no return, unassumingly because it habitations the stabilizing muscles of the knee in a mechanical disadvantage disabling them from re-establishing a sound posture. I should notate that several studies have associated this position of no return to an increased risk of knee injury. Female athletes exhibit increased knee valgus 6 movement patterns during landing and cutting activities compared to male athletes (Chappell, Yu et al. 2002, Ford, Myer et al. 2003, Zeller, McCrory et al. 2003, Olsen,

Six standing trials include 1) single dominant leg stance on a firm surface (SDFS), 2) single non-dominant leg stance on a firm surface (SNDFS), 3) double leg stance on a firm surface (DFS), 4) single dominant leg stance on a wobble board (SDWB), 5) single non-dominant leg stance on a wobble board (SNDWB), and 6) double leg stance on a wobble board (DWB). The order of the standing trials will be randomized. A two minute testing period will be recorded for each standing condition. During testing, participants will be instructed to position barefoot with the hands akimbo for as still as possible for both a firm surface and a wobble board conditions. During all one leg stance trials, participants will be instructed to flex the knee of the contralateral

4. Posture. As stated previously, do not slump because that particular posture creates difficulty in supporting your weight (extremely important to remember). Also, apply posture while walking or picking up any objects--use your knees (back

White assumed the instructional stance and I told him to stay in that position until I told him to start, White said he understood.I explained and demonstrated the instructional stance and asked if he understood the instructions, White said he did. During this evaluation White was swaying while trying to balance. White also used his arms greater than six inches to gain balance. White had to hop to keep from falling over at one point during the test. White also put his foot down more than once and switched feet twice. During this evaluation I observed 4 clues.

Flexibility can be defined as the capability of something to bend easily without breaking. The flexibility of a person is commonly measured during fitness tests, and the most frequently used test of a person’s flexibility is the sit-and-reach (Jackson and Baker, 1986). Though it is commonly accepted that the sit-and-reach produces an accurate and relative measure of a person’s flexibility, the validity of the test has been examined a number of times (Jackson and

Breathe in, while slowly lifting your lower back, middle back and upper back off the floor. Gently roll in your shoulders. Touch your chest to your chin without bringing the chin down. Support your weight with your shoulders, arms and feet. Feel your buttocks firm up in this pose. Both your thighs should be parallel to each other and to the floor.
