Kinesiology
• Study of physical activity or movement
– Encompasses anatomy, biomechanics,
physiology, psychomotor behavior, and various
social and cultural factors
– Focuses on exercise stress, movement
efficiency, and fitness

Articular System
• Series of joints that allows movement
– Combined with neuromuscular system,
enables locomotion
• Joint articulation
– Formed when two bones come into contact
– Can be freely movable
• Arthrology
– Study of joints

Classification of Joints
• Synarthroses
– Joints that lack a synovial cavity
– Held closely together by fibrous connective
tissue
– Immovable
– Three structural types
• Sutures
• Syndesmosis
• Gomphosis

Classification of Joints (cont’d.)
• Amphiarthroses
– Slightly moveable
– Bones are connected by hyaline cartilage or
fibrocartilage

Classification of Joints (cont’d.)
• Diarthroses or synovial joints
– Freely movable
– Ends of opposing bones are covered with
articular cartilage
– Separated by joint cavity
– Components are enclosed in fibrous joint
capsule

Movement of Diarthroses
• Range of motion in movable joints varies
– Synovial joints move most freely
– Shoulders have the greatest range of motion
– Joint stability is determined by:
• Shape of the bones where they come together
• Ligaments that join the bones
• Muscle tone

Disorders of Joints
• Bursitis
– Inflammation of synovial bursa
– Can be caused by excessive stress or tension
• Arthritis
– Inflammation of the entire joint
– Usually involves all joint tissues (cartilage,
bone, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves,
etc.)

Disorders of Joints (cont’d.)
• Rheumatic fever
– Disease involving a bacterial infection
– If undetected, bacterium can be carried by the
bloodstream to the joints
• Results in rheumatoid arthritis

Disorders of Joints (cont’d.)
• Rheumatoid arthritis
– Connective-tissue disorder
– Severe inflammation of small joints
• Severely debilitating
• Primary fibrositis
– Inflammation of fibrous connective tissue
– Called rheumatism, or if in lower back,
lumbago

Disorders of Joints (cont’d.)
• Osteoarthritis
– Degenerative joint disease
– Occurs with advancing age
• Gout
– Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joint at
base of large toe and other joints of feet and
legs
• Waste-product crystals can accumulate in kidneys,
causing kidney damage

Closed and Open Kinematic Chains
• Closed kinematic chain
– Movement or exercise at the end of the chain,
farthest from the body, is fixed
• In a squat feet are fixed and the rest of leg chain
moves
• Open kinematic chain
– Movement or exercise at the end of the chain
is free
• Seated leg extension

Conclusion
• Joints allow motion while providing stability
– Classified as nonmovable, slightly movable,
and freely movable
• Athletics involves movement in and
around many different planes
• Closed- and open-chain movements and
exercises provide different benefits
