Study Notes
Movement Mechanics and Joint Relationships
- Sagittal plane analysis reveals issues like inability to keep heels down, indicating plantar flexor weakness.
- Hip and knee initiation often points to quadriceps and hip flexor dominance, potentially indicating gluteus group activation insufficiency.
- Tibia and torso relationship can show poor mechanics due to tight dorsiflexors leading to an inability to parallel the tibia and torso.
- Lumbar and thoracic spine issues may be characterized by excessive arching or rounding, which can involve core and hip muscles.
Pelvic Tilting
- Anterior pelvic tilt is common in sedentary individuals with tight hip flexors, leading to tight erector spinae as part of Lower-Cross Syndrome.
- Posterior pelvic tilt is associated with tight rectus abdominis and hamstrings, indicating muscle imbalances.
- Foot pronation and internal femoral rotation may contribute to anterior pelvic tilt, enhancing lumbar lordosis.
Shoulder and Thoracic Spine
- Shoulder movement limitations arise from complex girdle design, requiring collaboration between glenohumeral joint and scapulothoracic movements.
- Tight upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and rhomboids manifest as shoulder height differences or postural asymmetries.
- Scapular protraction and winging indicate compromised scapula stabilizers like rhomboids and serratus anterior.
- A forward head position often results from tight cervical extensors and upper trapezius, misaligning the earlobe from the acromion.
Energy Systems
- Glycolytic system relies on rapid carbohydrate breakdown for ATP production, effective for high-intensity efforts lasting 1-2 minutes.
- Lactate and hydrogen ions accumulation from glycolysis contribute to muscle fatigue and burning sensation.
- Oxidative system utilizes oxygen, carbs, fats, and proteins for longer-duration energy output but works slower than glycolytic and phosphagen systems.
- It is crucial for sustained efforts like marathon running.
Heart Rate Zones
- Resting heart rate averages between 60-80 beats per minute (BPM) and increases with exercise to meet muscle oxygen and nutrient demands.
- Five distinct heart rate zones correspond to different exercise responses and benefits, starting from low-intensity warm-up/recovery in Zone 1.
- Training in different zones enhances cardiovascular fitness and overall exercise performance.
