Study Notes
Muscle Movements
- Contraction: a muscle movement that shortens, narrows, and lightens using energy
- Release: the opposite of contraction, where the muscle lets go or loses its shortening movement
- Collapse: deliberately dropping energy in a body segment
- Recover: the opposite of collapse, regaining energy in a body segment
- Rotation: moving a body segment in a circular motion
- Twist: moving a body segment around an axis, as in twisting the neck
- Pivot: changing the position of the feet or weight-bearing body part, allowing the body to turn less than 360 degrees
