This course delves into biomechanical and anatomical concepts related to human movement, with a focus on evaluating muscular training exercises, flexibility assessment, and improving physical condition. Learn to identify muscle groups, joint actions, and neuromuscular mechanisms to enhance performance.

Course Content • Introduction to the Course • Biomechanical Concepts Related to Human Movement • Anatomical Concepts Related to Human Movement • Applications in Human Movement
Applications in Human Movement • Anatomical Analysis of Human Movement • Evaluation of Muscular Training Exercises • Flexibility Assessment & Training
Anatomical Analysis: Definition • An examination of movement to describe the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular contributions • Quantitative or Qualitative
Technical training Purpose: Improve technique Use AA to ID specific exercises and drills Use BA to ID deficiencies in technique Physical training Purpose: Improve physical condition Use AA to ID physical limits to performance Purpose of Anatomical Analysis
Steps for Completing a Qualitative Anatomical Analysis • Divide the skill into temporal phases. Typically, we ID “ideal” movement and compare to that.
Temporal Phases Wind-upphase Executionphase Follow throughphase
Early Stance Late Stance Early Swing Late Swing
Steps for Completing a Qualitative Anatomical Analysis • Divide the skill into temporal phases. • Identify joints, joint positions, and joint actions. • Identify ROM utilized (noting extremes). • Perform a muscular analysis (determine active muscle groups, muscle actions, and group/individual muscle roles). • Identify role of multiarticular muscles.
1. Divide skill into Temporal Phases Arbitrary distinctions within each skill Must be consistent between analysts Can range from 2 – 5+
2. Joint Positions & Actions • Use a chart • Consider each phase • Consider all joints important to skill • Consider each plane separately
3. Identify Range of Motion • Take note of start and finished postion • Qualitative & quantitative • Examine overall displacement • Range of Motion
4. Muscle Involvement • Continue using chart • Use approach discussed previously in lecture • ID agonists, antagonists, stabilizers, and neutralizers important to skill
5. Role of Multiarticular Muscles Stabilization Neutralization Contributions of active/passive insufficiency
Steps for Completing a Qualitative Anatomical Analysis • Identify neuromuscular mechanisms. • Identify speed effects on muscles. • Rapid activation at the joint • Impact differences dependent upon speed • Identify segmental alignment requirements. Typically, we ID “ideal” movement and compare to that.
