Kinesiology Exam #4
Roll off
-from 40% to 50% of gait -When foot is pushing off the ground
Loading response phase
-last from 0% to 12 % of gait -starts at heel strike of ipsilateral leg, ends at toe off of contralateral foot -"catches mass of body" as gravity pulls it down
Mid stance phase
-lasts from 12% to 30% of gait -begins at contralateral foot toe off, ends when center of gravity is directly above the ball of foot on ipsilateral leg
Terminal stance phase
-lasts from 30% to 50% of gait -begins when center of gravity is directly above the ball of foot on ipsilateral leg, ends at heel strike of contralateral foot. - from 40% to 50% is called roll off, which is when foot is pushing off ground

Principles related to direction of the force
1. Direction the object moves is is determined by the direction of force applied to it 2. If an object can only move along a specific path, any component force not in the direction of the path is wasted. 3. when attempting maximum force production, segments involved should be aligned with the direction of the intended force production (pushing horizontally, align your body horizontally)
Principles related to the point at which the force is applied
1. Force applied in line with an objects center of gravity will cause linear motion 2. Any force applied not in line with an objects center of gravity will cause rotary motion. (freely movable object) 3. If free movement of an object is interfered with (friction), rotary motion may result even if the force is applied in line with the objects center of gravity.
Principles of stability as they apply to pushing a pulling activities
1. Lower center of gravity. 2. widen the base of support in the direction of the line of force. 3. lean into the the force (i.e. lean into someone that is going to push you bakwards) 4. Greater the mass, harder it is to move. 5. the entire body in vertical alignment 6. greater friction between ground and body causes increased stability 7. Focus on an external object that is stationary. 8. positive physical and emotional state.
Anatomical principles related to throwing, striking, and kicking
1. Muscles contract more forcefully if they are first stretched (stretch shortening cycle) 2. Unnecessary movement in an action result in awkwardness and fatigue. Should be eliminated 3. Skillful performance in an action can only be developed by practice 4. The most efficient type of movement in throwing/striking is ballistic. 5. Use the correct anatomical lever for the job (long resistance arm for speed, long effort arm for force)
Principles related to magnitude of the force
1. Object will move only if force is sufficient to overcome inertia. 2. Force exerted is limited by the counter force of the feet on the ground. (friction must hold) 3. To produce maximum force, optimum summation must occur through the body. The max number of body parts possible must move through the greatest ranges of motion possible. 4. To produce maximum accuracy, the smallest # of segments should be used through the smallest range of motion 5. For a change in momentum to occur, force must be applied over time (impulse)
Mechanical principles of throwing
1. Object will move only if force is sufficient to overcome objects inertia 2. The pattern and range of joint movements depends on the purpose of the movement 3. Force exerted by the body can only be transferred in proportion to the effectiveness of the counter force of the feet against the ground 4. linear velocity is imparted to external object as a result of angular velocity of body segments 5. Optimum summation of internal forces is needed if maximum force is to be applied to move an object 6. for a change in momentum to occur, force must be applied over time (impulse) 7. Force applied in line with an object center of gravity will result in linear motion 8. If force applied to a freely movable object is not in line with the object center of gravity, it will cause rotary motion.
Mechanical principles related to hitting, striking, and kicking
1. direction the object moves is determined by the force applied to it 2. momentum is always conserved 3. any change in momentum of individual objects is related to the force and duration of collision 4. the greater the velocity of any approaching ball, the greater the velocity of the ball in the opposite direction after it is struck 5. the greater the velocity of the striking implement, the greater the velocity of the struck ball 6. the greater the mass of the ball (up to a certain point), the greater its momentum after being struck 7. the greater the mass of the striking implement, the greater the striking force 8. The higher the elasticity of the striking implement and the ball, the greater the resultant velocity of the ball will be 9. direction of the struck ball affected by 1. direction of striking implement, 2. relation of striking force to balls center of gravity, 3. firmness of grip and wrist at impact, 4. laws governing rebound
Factors affecting gait
1. environment 2. individual constraints 3. task
goals of locomotion
1. progression: moving from one place to another 2. stability: ability to move without falling 3. ability to adapt: change gait based on environment
Principles related to maintaining and regaining equilibrium
1. the larger the base of support in the direction of the motion, the greater the body's equilibrium will be 2. at the moment of impact, the line of gravity should be centered above the base.
Principles related to avoiding injury
1. the more gradual the loss of momentum, the less force exerted on the body. 2. The larger the area receiving the impact, the less force will be exerted per unit area 3. repeated impacts (running) should be soft impacts whenever possible
principles related to accuracy and control
1. the more gradually the velocity of an object is reduced, the less likely the object is to rebound. 2. keep the eye on the ball 3. catching with accuracy and control depends upon position of the catcher relative to the direction of the incoming object.
