Biomechanics exam 4 ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Visual observation of an athlete and coaching feedback-such as faster, slower,
higher, and longer-fall within the category of qualitative biomechanical analysis.
True or False - CORRECT ANSWERS true
The four steps presented in the textbook for conducting qualitative
biomechanical analyses, in order, are
a. observation, evaluation, description, instruction
b. instruction, observation, description, evaluation
c. description, observation, evaluation, instruction
d. description, evaluation, observation, instruction
e. observation, description, evaluation, instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS
c. description, observation, evaluation, instruction
When videotaping a performance for analysis, what features are NOT critical to
observe at specific instants or phases of the skill?
a. the position of the body or body segments
b. the duration and range of motion of the body and its segments
c. the velocity and acceleration of the body and its segments
d. the athlete's kinesthesia
e. the timing of body segment motions relative to each other - CORRECT
ANSWERS d. the athlete's kinesthesia
__________ is directed primarily at correcting or improving aspects of
technique, while __________ is directed at altering performance limitations due
to the condition of the performer.
a. Flexibility training; exercise training
b. Technical training; physical training
,c. Physical training; technical training
d. Anatomical analysis; inverse dynamic analysis
e. Technical training; temporal phase analysis - CORRECT ANSWERS
b. Technical training; physical training
In analyzing joint motions of a performance, joint motion does not differ from
joint position.
True or False - CORRECT ANSWERS false
One step in qualitative anatomical analysis is to recognize any extremes in joint
ranges of motion. The purpose of this step is to identify those muscles and soft
tissues that may be stretched and possibly injured.
True or False - CORRECT ANSWERS true
List the steps of a qualitative biomechanical analysis in order in which they
typically occur
evaluation, observation, description, instruction - CORRECT ANSWERS
description, observation, evaluation, instruction
As a performers skill level increases, their trial-to-trial variability increases.
True or False - CORRECT ANSWERS false
Which of the following errors should be corrected/addressed first?
a. Large errors that impact performance
b. Endangering errors
c. Errors occurring earlier in the performance - CORRECT ANSWERS
b
, Comparing a performance to the theoretical model is describing which of the
following steps in biomechanical analysis?
a. Evaluation
b. Instruction
c. Description
d. Observation - CORRECT ANSWERS a
Place the following in order in which they occur during the anatomical analysis
method:
Divide activity into temporal phases, Identify movements at involved joints,
Determine types of muscular contractions, Identify extremes in joint ROM,
Identify instances of rapid joint angular acceleration and impacts - CORRECT
ANSWERS 1. Divide the activity into temporal phases
2. Identify movements at the involved joints
3. Determine the types of muscular contractions
4. Identify instances of rapid joint angular acceleration and impacts
5. Identify extremes in joint ROM
During the upward phase of a bench press exercise, the joint position for the
elbow is:
a. Elbow Extension
b. Elbow Flexion - CORRECT ANSWERS a

a. Muscular Strength
b. Flexibility
c. Muscle Power
d. Performing the skill more accurately - CORRECT ANSWERS d
