  1. Pronation and You Is pronation related to your body type? Bianca Bullock Dr. McCullough Spring 2013 BMEN 321

  2. What is pronation? -Pronation is the inward roll of the foot while walking or running.

  3. Gait Cycle -The rhythmic alternating movements of the 2 lower extremities which result in the forward movement of the body.

  4. Types of Pronators • Under Pronators • Over Pronators • Natural/Normal Pronators

  5. Under Pronation

  6. Over Pronation

  7. Normal Pronation

  8. Your Body Type • Ectomorph- Skinny guy • Mesomorph- That muscular guy • Endomorph- That chubby guy

  9. Your Body Type

  10. Body Mass Index (BMI) -Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated from a person's weight and height. BMI is a fairly reliable indicator of body fatness for most people • For example: -The participant is 5’5”and 100lbs. • 5’5”= 65 inches • 652 = 4225 • (100lbs/4225)(703) = 16.639 • The participants BMI would be 16.639

  11. Hypothesis -Mesomorphs will prove to be normal pronators; Ectomorphs will me over pronators; Endomorphs will be under pronators.

  12. My Experiment • Who? • What? • How?

  13. Results • Participant 1 • Participant 2 • Participant 7 • Participant 9

  14. Participant 1 • Height: 5’4” • Weight: 117 • Age: 22 • BMI=20.081 • Healthy weight • Has plenty of muscle mass • Mesomorph • Natural Pronator

  15. Participant 2 • Height: 5’3” • Weight: 265 • Age: 20 • BMI: 46.938 • Obese • More fat mass than muscle • Endomorph • Under Pronator

  16. Participant 7 • Height: 5’11” • Weight: 220 • Age: 25 • BMI: 30.680 • Over weight for height • However, participant had little fat mass • Quite a lot of muscle mass • Mesomorph • Under Pronator

  17. Participant 9 • Height: 6’0” • Weight: 257 • Age: 22 • BMI: 34.852 • According to the BMI chart the participant is obese • He seems to be a mix of meso- and endo- • Participant has muscle mass in upper and lower • extremities; most fat mass around the mid-section • Endomorph • Natural Pronator

  18. Discussion • Questionnaire • Pulse • Runner’s form

  19. Conclusion • I used this section to make recomendations for the experiment
