Exercise 23

1) The r-value for the relationship is -0.149. Since p=0.424, the result is NOT significant at the 1% level of significance 2)

Both values are equally strong. The first value indicates positive relationship and the second – negative relationship

3) Since r=-0.149, the relationship is negative 4)

This relationship is positive, because the correlation coefficient is positive. The strength of the correlation is moderate

5) The weakest relationship is with Shuttle run test, because the corresponding correlation coefficient is the closest to 0 (r=-0.457) 6) a) Hamstring 120 / Hop: r=0.431 (p=0.016) b) Quad 60 / Carioca: r=0.655 (p<0.001) c) Quad 120 / Side: r=-0.519 (p=0.003) d) Quad 60 / Triple: r=0.619 (p<0.001)

The strongest relationship is in b)

7) r=-0.498 This is the correlation coefficient between the Quadriceps Strength Index 60/s and the Shuttle run test. ...

Movement Assessment is an exercise that aims to assess dynamic flexibility, the structural alignment of the whole body and bilateral standing stance neuromuscular control. To squat properly one requires having the best possible knees, ankles and hips mobility. It is in knowing compensation that we can determine the underactive and overactive muscles. Form this interventions can then be determined. In case of probable overactive muscles the possible interventions include static stretching, self-myofascial release and neuromuscular stretching all of which are flexibility exercises. The muscles involved in performing squats include quadriceps, gluteus maximus, adductor magnus, soleus, hamstrings, gastrocnemius, erector spinae, ...

Keeping the body healthy and in shape is probably the big aim of everyone. However, all of those desires differ a lot on the gender, age and motivation basis. This assignment will demonstrate the analysis of two case studies. For both of them some recommendations and calculations will be given.

Anyways, some calculations are needed in order to get the entire picture of his body condition.

Secondly, Chad’s BMR is 1865.04 Finally, it is essential to implement the Karvonen formula in order to find out Chad’s target heart rate at 60% and 80%. The answer looks as follows: Target HR (60%) = 131 Target HR (80%) = 148 At this point of time it is ...

Movement in Sport: The Dead Lift

I choose to use professionals to perform the deadlift since it requires a serious monarch in the physique building kingdom. The movement hits someone’s glutes, upper lats, quads, erector, and abs. Most people do not like performing this movement since it is one of the extreme physiques. Additionally people are yet to observe a professional perform this movement in the presence of a novice lifter. This paper will provide beginner trainers that look to advance their physique development with adequate information and descriptions so that they can perform the movement with ease. In the study, I have observed Johnnie Jackson ...

One of the most common sports-related knee injuries is medial collateral ligament (MCL), which occurs in almost every contact sport, such as football, hockey, wrestling, and martial arts. Those more at risk are intercollegiate male athletes, who can experience mild MCL sprain that could keep them away from exercising sports for an average of three weeks (DeBerardino, 2014). However, the severity of the injury has a broad spectrum, it is impossible to determine the incidence of MCL injuries, especially since minor MCL injuries are never evaluated by a physician.

Anatomy of the Injury (structures involved)

One of the most commonly injured knee-joint ligamentous structures is the medial ...

Introduction

The skills that a person acquires in a sports or any fitness program can generally be subdivided into these three, according to the degree of experience or expertise: beginner, intermediate, and expert. All skills and techniques that an individual can learn about a particular sport can fall under any of these three depending of course on the degree of difficulty in performing the activity and other factors such as its effectiveness on the playing field. The objective of this paper is to create a comprehensive comparison between the three different types of athlete: novice, intermediate, and expert and how each type of athlete ...

Posture analysis can be referred to as an evaluation of person's posture in search of signs of injuries, and poor habits of posture that can result in trauma in the future. In a set up of a clinic, such evaluations of a patient can be important for determination of the sources of postural strain as well as development of a suitable program of treatment. This technique may as well be applied for things such as assisting a person grow a more ergonomic workspace, right athletic shoes, and so on (Toronto Chiropracter, 2013). There has been carried out an extensive study on human posture in ...

Description of Injury and Treatment Plan

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament of the knee in regards to stabilization (Friedberg, 2013). The ACL originates from the later femoral condyle in the distal femur; it traverses in an antero-medial direction to insert onto the antero-medial part of the tibia, in between the condyles. (Friedberg, 2013) The function of the ACL is to resist anterior movement and medial rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur (Markolf, Mensch, & Amstutz, 1976). A Non-contact mechanism of injury involves a running or jumping athlete with a sudden change in direction. A contact mechanism ...

Mechanics of Prevention and Rehabilitation

Introduction The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an important ligament of the knee in regards to stabilization (Friedberg, 2013). The function of the ACL is to resist anterior movement and medial rotation of the tibia in relation to the femur (Markolf, Mensch, & Amstutz, 1976). It is the most common injury of the knee and is frequently injured in non-contact; high impact sports injuries such as, skiers, gymnasts, football, and soccer players, where there is quick movement, and changing of position of the feet. Treatment of ACL tears may require surgery or may be treated conservatively in the case ...

ABSTRACT

Soccer is the most popular sport in United States with an estimate of 20 million players and statistics shows that the yearly participation rose by 20%. Rise in number of females who are participating in soccer all over the world however has not resulted to a similar increase in numbers of the biomechanical studies which concentrates in kicking patterns for the females to find out whether there are many differences that exists between the female and male players. The significance of the experiment was find out whether there is any differences in kinematic instep kicking between elite male and female ...

1. Identify the primary abductors of the hip (three muscles). a) Gluteus Medius b) Gluteus Minimus c) Tensor Fascia Latae 2. What function do the hamstrings have in common with the gluteus maximus? Both the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings muscles play the extension role. The hamstrings, which are situated at the rear of the thigh, play the role of hip extension and hyper-extension as well as knee flexion. This helps in transferring the power between knee joints and the hips. In addition, it helps in the forward propulsion. Just like the hamstrings, Gluteus maximus play a ...

Introductory Problem One

Concentric muscle action is an action that describes the contraction that involves the shortening of a muscle. Examples of activities where the concentric muscle action is required include walking on level ground, picking up a weight and kicking a ball. The quadriceps and calfs are involved when walking on level ground and when kicking a ball. The biceps, deltoids and back muscles are involved when picking up a weight.

The eccentric muscle action is where a muscle elongates as it being stimulated in order to develop tension. Some of the activities that require eccentric muscle action are extending the elbow where the biceps branchii are ...
