  1. MUSCLE MOVEMENTS

  2. How do muscles work and create movement? • Muscles turn energy into motion • Everything you do is expressed as muscular motion • The basic action of any muscle is contraction • A muscle is a bundle of cells called fibers • A muscle fiber contains myofibrils, which are cylinders of muscle proteins • The proteins allow a muscle cell to contract • The contractions of all muscles are triggered by electrical impulses

  3. Continued…… • Muscles have a mixture of two basic types of fibers; • Fast twitch muscle fibers – capable of developing greater forces, contract faster, and have greater anaerobic capacity What are some anaerobic activities? • 2. Slow twitch muscle fibers – develop force slowly, maintain contractions longer, and have higher aerobic capacity What are some aerobic activities?

  4. FLEXION

  5. Flexion Bending parts at a joint Examples: • Bending at the knee and elbow, bending head forward on the chest

  6. EXTENSION

  7. Extension Straightening parts at a joint Examples: Straightening the leg, elbow, neck

  8. ABDUCTION

  9. Abduction Moving a limb away from the midline of the body. Example: Lifting the arm/leg horizontally away from the body

  10. ADDUCTION

  11. Adduction Moving a limb toward the midline of the body. Example: Returning the arm/leg from the horizontal position to the side of the body.

  12. Rotation

  13. Rotation Moving a part around an axis. Example: Twisting the head from side to side and twisting the trunk from side to side
