Study Notes
- Fundamental Movement Patterns are basic coordinated body movements, including lateral motion, weight transfer, forward motion, up and down motion, and upper and lower body coordination.
- There are six categories of Fundamental Movement Patterns: Horizontal Push, Horizontal Pull, Vertical Push, Vertical Pull, Squat, and Hinge, Rotation.
- Horizontal Push, a less frequently used pattern, involves flexion of the chest, triceps, and shoulders. Best exercises include push-ups, dumbbell floor pressing, bench pressing, and Svend Press.
- Horizontal Pull, which promotes postural and shoulder health, involves drawing the muscles of the upper back to pull the arms alongside the body. Muscles engaged are influenced by grip orientation and elbow position. Best exercises include barbell bent-over rows, single-arm rows, and cable rows.
- Horizontal Pushing is less commonly used in everyday life but essential for upper body strength and power in sports and powerlifting.
- Horizontal Pulling is crucial for rebalancing forward-rounded shoulder posture from technology use or desk jobs. It targets the muscles of the upper back, including the trapezius, rhomboids, and latissimus dorsi.
