HES 301 Exam 1 UPDATED ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER The study of forces and their effects on living
systems
-to improve performance
-improve coaching skills
-maximizing efficiency
-reducing the risk of injury
-biomechanics of injury
-more sport specific equipment
-through observations
Exercise and Sport Biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER the study of forces and their
effects on humans in exercise and sports
-training to improve performance and reduce injury
Qualitative Biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER Breaking down motor movement
into basic elements and qualitatively examining these elements from a biomechanical
perspective
-observations and knowledge of skill technique
-coaching, clinicians, teaching, therapy
-motor skill analysis
-expert observation
Quantitative Biomechanics - CORRECT ANSWER Biomechanical analysis that is
measurable and deals with the numbers aspect and systematic problem solving
-what information is given?
-How do I get from A to B?
-Given data to generate numbers
, Problem Solving Steps - CORRECT ANSWER 1) Given - list all known data,
conditions, and state the goal
2) Diagram - Draw a labeled model representing movement, forces, vectors in appropriate
direction
3) Formulas - List formulas to be used and any derived information
4) Units - make sure appropriate units are used
5)Solution - solving for the unknown variable(s)
~Show all work!
Kinetics - CORRECT ANSWER -Deals with the forces that cause motion
-Scale = body mass and center of gravity
-Force and pressure transducers, strain gauge and plates = measure force and pressure ~
isokinetic & isometric dynamometers
-EMG, MRI = force, neuromuscular characteristics
-visualization of performance = strength testing with free weights
Kinematics - CORRECT ANSWER -The study of motion and the variables that
describe motion
-Relate to motion itself
-Timing devices = stopwatch, infrared sensors
-Video and computer analysis = filming, digitizing
-Length measurement = tape measurer, transducer
-Goniometer/Electrogoniometer = ROM
-Accelerometer = acceleration of body segment
-Velocity radar gun
Center of Gravity - CORRECT ANSWER Imaginary point representing the weight
center of an object
-can change
-Men's tend to be higher and Women's tend to be lower
