Kinesiology Laboratory 5: Activity Analysis of the Trunk and Lower Extremity
Today’s Activities • Force Couples • Trunk Analysis Activity • Exercise Analysis of the Lower Extremity
Force Couples • Two parallel forces of equal magnitude working in opposite directions • Creates a rotational movement along the longitudinal axis, i.e. rotary movement
Exercise Prescription • Group 1 • Back Extensors • Hip Abductors • Hip Internal Rotators • Group 2 • Ankle inversion/eversion • Ankle plantar/dorsiflexors • Group 3 • Hip Flexors • Hip Extensors • Knee Flexors • Group 4 • Hip External Rotators • Knee Extensors • Abdominals
For Next Week • Lab Report 5 • Answers to all 5 questions and brief discussion of principles (i.e. force couples) • Brief Exercise Presentation • Readings: H&K: Ch. 6, TG: pp 278-280, 296-299, 338, 302-305
