OBJECTIVE:

To analyze and understand the biomechanics and muscle involvement in a specific human movement or exercise.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Select a Movement:
Choose one specific human movement or exercise to analyze. Examples include:
Squat
Push-up
Running gait cycle
Bicep curl
Jumping
Describe the Movement:
Provide a detailed description of the selected movement. Include:
Starting position
Key phases of the movement (e.g., eccentric, concentric)
Ending position
Muscle Involvement:
Identify and describe the primary muscles involved in the movement. For each muscle, include:
Name of the muscle
Origin and insertion points
Actions performed by the muscle during the movement
Joint Actions:
Analyze the joints involved in the movement. For each joint, include:
Type of joint (e.g., hinge, ball-and-socket)
Specific movements occurring at the joint (e.g., flexion, extension, rotation)
Range of motion required
Biomechanics:
Discuss the biomechanics of the movement. Consider:
Forces acting on the body (e.g., gravity, ground reaction force)
Lever systems involved
Balance and stability considerations
Common Errors:
Identify and explain common errors that can occur during the movement. For each error, discuss:
Potential causes
Impact on performance and injury risk
Corrective strategies
Practical Application:
Provide practical advice for performing the movement correctly. Include:
Tips for proper technique
Progressions or modifications for different skill levels
Safety precautions
