1 An analysis of human movement: Joints, Muscles and Mechanics in specified sporting actions (including planes and axes)What you need to know:Analyse shoulder and elbow action in push-ups, over-arm throwing and forehand racket strokesAnalyse hip, knee and ankle action in running, kicking, jumping and squats.Relate movement to planes and axes, namely sagittal plan, transverse axisAnalysing these actions means knowledge of the following:The type of joint, articulating bones, joint actions, related to these sporting actions.Relate the movements occurring at joints to planes and axes
3 Planes and AxesTo help explain movement it is possible to view the body as having a series of imaginary lines running through it.These are referred to as planes of movement and divide the body up in three ways:The sagittal (median) plane: this is a vertical plane, which divides the body into right and left halves.The frontal (coronal) plane: this is also a vertical plane that divides the body into front and back halves.Transverse plane (horizontal): this divides the body into upper and lower halves

7 There are three axes of movement about which rotation occurs: When performing an activity a body or body parts will move in one of these planes or in all three of them depending on the action being performed. In a full twisting somersault, for example, the gymnast will move in all three planes.There are three axes of movement about which rotation occurs:Transverse axis that runs from side to side across the bodysagittal axis which runs from front to backvertical axis that runs from top to bottom
8 Movement Terminology Movements in a sagittal (median) plane Flexion: this occurs when there is a decrease in the angle that occurs around a joint, for example, bending the arm at the elbow causes the angle between the radius and humerus to decrease.Extension: an increase in the angle that occurs around a joint, for example, straightening the knee causes an increase in the angle between the femur and tibia.Plantar flexion: is a term used solely for the ankle joint. It involves pointing the foot downwards away from the tibia (standing on your tiptoes).Dorsiflexion: bending the foot upwards towards the tibia.
9 Movement Terminology Movements in a frontal (coronal) plane Abduction: this is when movement occurs away from the midline of the body, for example, raising the arms out to the side away from the body.Adduction: this is when movement occurs towards the midline of the body, for example, lowering the arms back to the sides of the body.
10 Movement Terminology Movements in a transverse (horizontal) plane Horizontal adduction (also called horizontal flexion): arm moves forward across the body at 90˚ of shoulder adduction, for example, raise your arm out to the side till it is parallel to the floor (abduction of the shoulder) then move the arm back towards the body keeping it parallel all the way.Horizontal abduction (also called horizontal extension): arm moves backward across the body at 90˚of shoulder abduction, for example, raise your arm forward and hold it at 90˚ (flexion of the shoulder), then move it towards the outside of your body.Rotation: movement of a bone around its axis. This rotation can be inward (medial) or outward (lateral)
11 Movement in two planes: sagittal and transverse Circumduction: this is when the lower end of the bone moves around in a circle. It is a combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction. Circumduction occurs at the shoulder and hip joints.

13 Understanding & Analysing Movement Construct a movement sequence using the following in the correct order:-Abduction, flexion, inversion, circumduction, supination, adduction, plantarflexion, extension, eversion, rotation, dorsiflexion, pronation
14 Label the movement in the hip, knee and ankle of the runner footballer and volleyball player and label the movement occurring in the shoulder and elbow in the press-up
