Study Notes
PATHFIT1: Movement Competency Training Posture and Core Stability
- Assess readiness for participation in physical activities, focusing on levels and movement patterns.
- Evaluate posture and core stability to enhance overall health and fitness.
- Determine baseline body composition and cardiovascular fitness levels.
- Employ accurate terminology to describe various movements.
- Understand how core strength stabilizes the spine during functional tasks in relation to functional anatomy.
Importance of Physical Activity
- Regular movement reduces the risk of diseases and enhances overall health.
- Engaging in exercises is crucial for maintaining physical well-being.
Posture
- Refers to the alignment of body segments (limbs, head, shoulder, spine, hips) against gravitational forces.
- Good posture minimizes stress on body structures, optimizing muscle function, joint stability, and movement mechanics.
- Injury prevention is achieved through correct posture, reducing risks of strains and joint issues.
- Muscular efficiency increases with proper alignment, decreasing fatigue and improving performance.
- Good posture supports unrestricted breathing and efficient blood circulation, supplying adequate oxygen to vital organs.
- An upright posture can enhance self-confidence and improve body image.
Core Stability
- Core stability involves the strength and endurance of trunk region muscles: abdominals, obliques, lower back, and pelvic floor.
- A stable core supports the spine, improves movement quality, and reduces back injury risk.
- Enables efficient force transmission between upper and lower body, essential for lifting and pushing tasks.
- Strong core enhances balance and coordination, promoting controlled and precise movements.
- Critical for athletic performance across various sports and physical activities.
- Core stability is vital for daily activities, including bending, lifting, and reaching.
Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS)
- FMS are essential patterns of behavior crucial for developing activity skills from childhood to adulthood.
- Comprises three skill groups essential for physical literacy: non-locomotor, locomotor, and manipulative skills.
Non-Locomotor Skills
- Stabilization movements performed from a stable base of support.
- Includes exercises like bracing, anti-rotation, anti-extension, stretching, turning, rolling, squatting, lunging, and balancing.
Locomotor Skills
- Involve moving the body from one location to another.
- Includes crawling, jumping, hopping, skipping, running, shuffling, swimming, swinging, climbing, and wheeling.
Manipulative Skills
- Encompass the use of hands, feet, or implements to control or interact with objects.
- Involves sending, receiving, or traveling with an object.
