Trail Guide to Movement Test KIN211
Questions With Solutions
Kinetics studies forces (gravity, friction, and pressure) that act on the body to generate or
alter motion
Kinematics analysis of movement in terms of mechanical elements (ie time and space)
In the "dance troupe" of human movement, what are the four "prima ballerinas? Mobility,
Stability, Balance, and coordination
mobility the ability to move (obvious and expressive aspect of motion)
stability the ability to be firmly fixed or supported by using joints and myofascial units
Generates the necessary and sometimes oppositional support for mobility Stability
Balance even distribution of weight that enables you to remain upright and steady
, Trail Guide to Movement Test KIN211
Questions With Solutions
T/F imbalance is never needed False, imbalance is necessary to cause movement
Coordination the organization of different elements or your nerves, joints, and muscles
Simultaneous movement your entire body moves at the same time
sequential movement movement occurs through a series of smaller, articulating actions
movement patterns organized rhythms of motion that link groups of joints and muscles
together to produce a desired action
Three chains that make up the entire kinetic chain? Articular, myofascial, and neural
Kinetic Chain a series of joints linked by an arrangement of muscles and bones along the
pathway of movement
How does the body work with the difference in the right and left halves? Compensation
