Fundamental Movements 1. Flexion – decreasing the angle between two bones. 2. Extension – increasing the angle between two bones. 3. Abduction – moving away from the midline of the body. 4. Adduction – moving towards the midline of the body. 5. Circumduction – circumscribing a conical area, involving flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction in sequence. 6. Hyperextension – extend beyond extension (not all joints can do this safely). Muscle Contractions 1. Isometric – muscle tension does not result in joint movement (static/non-moving). 2. Isotonic – muscular tension results in joint movement. Two types: A. Concentric – Shortening of the muscle, raising of the weight, or positive phase. B. Eccentric – Lengthening of the muscle, lowering of the weight, or negative phase. 3. Isokinetic – a specific type of isotonic contraction in which angular velocity at a joint is kept constant throughout the full range of motion. (i.e. Nautilus and Cybex machines). Trying to keep high tension/resistance equally throughout the full range of motion. Other Terminology 1. Pronation – palms facing backward. 2. Supination – palms facing forward. 3. Prime mover – a muscle or group of muscles of prime importance to a specific movement. An agonist. 4. Synergists – muscles that assist/help the action of the prime movers. 5. Stabilizers – muscles that help stabilize a joint to prevent injuries (strains, sprains, dislocations). 6. Antagonist – Muscle that acts in opposition to a prime mover. Works opposite of agonist. 7. Agonist - a muscle whose contraction moves a part of the body directly.
