Joint and movement type
To be able to describe the different types of movement available at the body’s main joints
and the muscle contractions involved.
Create an animation that demonstrates the different movements available at joints and
what type of muscle contraction creates them.

Reciprocal inhibition, isometric, isotonic, isokinetic, agonist, antagonist,
Frist of all lets discuss what you know already. Look through the rest of unit four and discuss what you already
know.
For the first task you can use your movement table from unit1.1. Test your partner to see if they remember.
4.2.1.
Outline the types of movement at synovial joints with sporting examples
Movement

example
Joint action at the ankle where the foot is turned
medially (inwards)

the ball with the outside of his foot.
Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
Pronation

Fill in the gaps below outlining the types of muscle contraction giving examples for each one.

Look at the press-up below. Can you explain what movements are happening at each joint and the muscle
action?

OK, now your task is to design an animation which
educates people (PE students especially) about movement
types. The way you’re going to do this is by setting up a
free account on the animation desk’ website and follow the
instructions from there.
Your website must include all the movements from the
table (if possible), it must give sporting examples and of
course it would help if it was entertaining!!
Good luck!
HERE IS ONE ON YOUTUBE THAT I DID QUICKLY. YOUR SHOULD BE MILES BETTER!
4.2.3. Explain the term reciprocal inhibition (use the terms agonist and antagonist in your explanation)

What is DOMS, how is it caused and what can we
do??
Click on this link and read an interesting article about
this common cause of muscle soreness.
Then in the space below, note the information that
you think is most important.
How about some quick revision before you complete the end of unit assessment.

You have finished unit 4.1, you should now be able to achieve the success criteria above.
Now go to edmodo and complete the end of unit assessment. If you score more than 90% you can move
onto the next unit. Feedback will be given within 24 hours.
