Study Notes
Unit VII: Fundamentals of Anatomy, Physiology in Sports
-
Anatomy and Physiology in Exercise and Sports:
- Anatomy studies the body's structure (bones, muscles, organs).
- Physiology studies the body's functions.
- Understanding structure and function is crucial for:
- Designing effective training programs.
- Preventing injuries and enhancing recovery.
- Improving athletic performance.
- Knowing body movements and functions are key to success in sports.
-
Skeletal System:
- Functions:
- Supports the body.
- Protects vital organs.
- Enables movement.
- Stores minerals (calcium, phosphorus).
- Produces blood cells.
- Classification of Bones:
- Long (e.g., femur).
- Short (e.g., carpals).
- Flat (e.g., skull).
- Irregular (e.g., vertebrae).
- Sesamoid (e.g., patella).
- Types of Joints:
- Fixed (e.g., skull).
- Slightly movable (e.g., vertebrae).
- Freely movable (e.g., ball and socket, hinge, pivot).
- Functions:
-
Circulatory System:
- Function: Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and waste.
- Structure:
- Heart (four chambers).
- Blood vessels (arteries, veins, capillaries).
- Blood (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma).
-
Respiratory System:
- Function: Exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide.
- Structure:
- Nasal cavity (filters, warms, humidifies).
- Trachea and bronchi (transport air).
- Lungs (contain alveoli for gas exchange).
- Diaphragm (breathing movements).
Unit VIII: Fundamentals of Kinesiology and Biomechanics in Sports
-
Kinesiology and Biomechanics:
- Kinesiology is the study of human movement.
- Biomechanics applies mechanical principles to understand movement.
- Their importance in sports:
- Improve techniques and performance.
- Reduce injury risks.
- Develop sports equipment.
- Understand body mechanics.
-
Biomechanics Principles:
- Stability: Maintaining balance.
- Force: Applying force effectively.
- Motion: Linear and angular motions.
- Leverage: Using levers for movement.
- Coordination: Integrating body parts effectively.
-
Kinetics and Kinematics:
- Kinetics: Study of forces causing motion (gravity, friction).
- Kinematics: Study of motion without forces (speed, velocity, acceleration).
-
Body Movements:
- Flexion: Decreasing angle.
- Extension: Increasing angle.
- Abduction: Moving away from midline.
- Adduction: Moving towards midline.
- Rotation: Circular movement around an axis.
- Circumduction: Circular limb movement.
- Supination: Palm upward.
- Pronation: Palm downward.
-
Axis and Planes:
- Axis:
- Longitudinal (vertical).
- Transverse (horizontal).
- Anteroposterior (front-to-back).
- Planes:
- Sagittal (left-right).
- Frontal (front-back).
- Transverse (top-bottom).
- Axis:
