Human Movement

The document discusses human movement, focusing on biomechanics and fundamental movements such as pull, push, squat, lunge, hinge, rotation, and gait. It also describes different body types (ectomorph, mesomorph, endomorph) and the skeletal system's role in movement, including its structural and physiological functions. Additionally, it outlines the two groups of the skeleton: appendicular and axial.

What is
Human
Movements?
• Biomechanics and
Body Movement is
the science of
movement of living
body. Including how
muscle bones, and
ligaments work
together to produce
Fundamental
Human
Movements
1.Pull
pulling motion
which consists of
pulling a weight
toward your body
or your body
towards your
hands.
2. Push
pushing in the
opposite of the
pull. The upper
body muscles push
things in various
directions.
3. Squat
considered to be the
most complex
movement the human
body is capable of.
Squat targets the
glutes, core,
quadriceps and and to
a slight degree, the
hamstring muscles.
4. Lunge
a long, linear stride,
lowering your back
knee to just above
the ground, with a
completely upright
torso.
5. Hinge
it can be performed
bodyweight or in
dozens of other
variations including
the deadlift. Bend to
extend movements
work on your glutes,
hamstrings, and
lower back.
6.
Rotation
this is your ability to
rotate that involves
twisting at the core.
The core (specifically
the oblique) is the
main contributor to
this set of
movements.
7. Gait
this is the technique
of walking. This
includes walking,
jogging, running or
sprinting.
4
BASIC
MOVEMENTS
in
FLEXIBILITY
1.Flexio
nbending of body
segment.
2.
Extension
straightening of body
segment.
3.
Abduction
moving a limp away
from the body.
What are the
Different
Body Types?
1. The
Ectomorph
Person
this type of body is characterized
with slender bodies, short trunks,
and long arms and legs. His feet
are long and narrow with narrow
chest, long slender neck and very
little amount of fat.
muscles are weak and thin, with
weak tendons and joints that are
cause of poor posture, lack of
body power and strength.
2. The
Mesomorph
Person
it is characterized by a solid,
muscular physique, strong, with
large chest, slender waist, long
tort with short but powerful legs
and arms.
moderate in height and very
strong in carrying weights,
mesomorph persons are good in
events that require strength,
agility, and power and
endurance .
3. The
Endomorph
Person
it is characterized by excess body fat
distribution, lack of bony angularity
and floppy muscles. The arms, trunks
and legs look rounded and fatty, with a
rounded face, doubled chin and short
neck.
their hips, abdomen, thighs, buttocks
and upper arms are full of fatty pads
while the chest of an endomorphic
man tends to be like the breast of a
woman.
endomorphic persons must exercise
frequently.
COMPONENTS
OF THE BODY
THAT CAUSE
HUMAN BEING
TO MOVE
SKELETAL
SYSTEM
the skeletal system is the body system
composed of bones, cartilages, ligaments
and other tissues that perform essential
functions for the human body.
in the areas of the skeleton where whole
bones move against each other,
cartilages, a semi-rigid form of
connective tissue, provide flexibility and
smooth surfaces for movement.
the skeleton provides a strong, internal
framework that supports the body, and
protection for vital organs.
PHYSIOLOGICAL
FUNTIONS
1. Provides a site for blood formation.

FUNCTIONS 2. Serves as storehouse for calcium


which are essential for nerve
OF THE
conduction, blood clotting and energy
SKELETAL formation.

SYSTEM 3.Plays a role in our immune function.


4. Stores and releases minerals and
fats.
STRUCTURAL
FUNCTIONS
1. Gives support to the body.
2. Protects the delicate organs in the
body.
3. Bones are rigid lever of locomotion.
4.Provides framework and shape to the
body.
TWO GROUPS
of
SKELETON
Appendicular
Skeleton
composed of
the upper
extremity and
lower extremity
Axial
Skeleton
composed of
the skull, ribs,
trunk, vertebral
column, and
pelvic.
