Introduction to

Movement Patterns
Presented by: Group 1
Exercise is the key not
only to physical health
but to peace of mind.

—Nelson Mandela
GAIT (Walking and Running)
- is a sequence of steps and strides that is repeated.
It is basically a person’s pattern of walking and
running. Gait movement helps us determine any
abnormalities in our locomotion. It helps us retain our
balance in order to stand and walk, and it also
corrects our posture.
LUNGE (Forward and Sideward)
- doing lunge exercise will tone your leg muscles, quadriceps, core
and many more, while also training your body’s coordination,
balance and stability. Forward lunge is performed by stepping
forward and bending your front leg till it is almost 90 degrees from
your back leg. Sideward lunges slightly differ from forward lunges
since you have to step your one leg to your side while bending your
knees, keeping your butt back.
SQUAT (Quad Dominant)

- a normal squat is slightly different from quad dominant


squat as the tension focuses more on your quadriceps. In
order to perform a quad dominant squat, your torso needs
to be in an upright position and your knees more forward
making it track further over the toes.
HINGE (Hip
Dominant)
- a hip hinge can reduce your back
pain, improving your balance as well
as strengthening and stabilizing your
core. You need to bend your knees 20
degrees, inline with the ankles, then
push the knees or spread them apart.
Lastly, push your hips straight back,
maintaining a flat back.
TWIST

- twist is a core exercise. It targets and strengthens your


internal and external obliques and is a great calorie burner. Sit
on the floor with your heels on the floor and your knees
slightly bent. Lean back until you feel your abdominal muscle
tighten, keeping your spine straight. Place both hands next to
your chest and slowly twist side by side.
PUSH (Horizontal, Vertical)
- a push workout contracts your muscles when weight is
being pushed away from your body, meaning the work is
done when the muscle lengthens. It helps to strengthen the
upper body, as well as the lower back and core.
In the “push” workout you train all the upper body pushing
muscles, i.e. the chest, shoulders and triceps. Push
exercises work the muscles you use to move weight away
from your body, specifically the pectorals, triceps, fronts of
the shoulders, and quadriceps.
PULL (Horizontal, Vertical)
- Pull exercises are strength training
movements that involve a concentric
contraction, a shortening of the muscle
while moving two connection points closer
together. Pull exercises are those where the
muscles contract when weight is being
pulled towards your body, meaning the work
is done when the muscle shortens. It
improves your posture, flexibility, mobility
and strength.
