Assignment 5.1 Answer the following questions on your wikispace. There is one point available for each question 1. Name the bones that articulate the following joints: (a) knee (b) hip (c) shoulder (d) elbow 2. How is the knee joint structured for stability. Show a diagram of the knee joint in your answer 3. List the types of movements that occur in the medial plane 4. Explain how it is possible for us to bend down and touch our toes. What movement patterns are brought about during this action? 5. What is the function of articular cartilage? 6. How is the shoulder structured to enable the different types of movement patterns of which it is capable. Include a diagram in your answer 7. List four types of movement that take place in the horizontal plane 8. State the function of the following: (a) Bursae (b) cruciate ligaments (c) patella (d) carpals (e) thoractic vertebrae (f) collagen (g) the atlas and the axis 9. Outline the benefits that training has on the skeletal system 10. Analyse the action of a tennis serve. State the movement patterns and joint actions that occur at the shoulder and the elbow. State the planes in which these movements take place andt he axes about which they occur. 11. Explain how the properties of skeletal muscle enable it to perform its function when sprinting. Use the correct names of muscles, where appropriate 12. Skeletal muscle is composed of different types of fibre. What are they? Explain how the structure of these fibres is suited to the requirements of performers in a variety of sports 13. When performing a jump shot in basketball, many different muscles work in the lower body. Identify the muscles working ont he hips, knee and ankle joints and state the specific roles that each of these muscles have (agonists, fixators etc) 14. What are the essential ingredients to a successful analysis of movement? Use these to analyse an overhead clear in badminton, with particular reference to the shoulder, elbow and wrist actions 15. Identify one stroke in swimming. State the muscles that are contracting in each phase of the stroke. (e.g. either the kick or the recovery phase in the leg action) and state the type of contraction taking place in each muscle.

Assignment 5.2 Create a page on your wikispace. Attach to the page a number of photographs of 'sports people in action'. For each picture, you must write (a) specific movement patterns (b) Important muscles/bones involved in performing the action

You are expected to find a minimum of 10 relevant sports pictures, and are expected to write a detailed analysis for one aspect of performing the skill

Assignment 5.3 I would like you to create and upload a powerpoint on the following topics: Alex: Types of muscle contraction Min Joon: Fast Twitch and Slow Twitch Muscles Hyun Su: Ossification

The powerpoint is expected to have the following criteria to gain top marks for this assignment: (1) Use of colour, background music/sounds or animations (2) Minimum length of powerpoint show is 12 slides, one of which should be a title slide and one of which should be your references (3) Material should be relevant, and not too cluttered - keep the writing on the slide to the point! (4) All pictures must be referenced (5) The slideshow should address the major points of your topic!

Assignment 5.4 Personal Wikispace On your personal wikispace, I would like you to create a new page. On this new page, I would like you to research the following topics:

(a) skeletal injuries (b) muscular injuries (c) skeletal-muscular adaptations to exercise (d) neuro-muscular adaptations to exercise

I would like you to find at least **three** different types of skeletal injuries and **three** different types of muscular injuries. Include pictures where possible. State the cause of the injury and the ways in which you can give first aid to treat the injury.

Assignment 5.5 Attach to this board: "When is the right age to start to 'lift weights?" Do some reading around on the internet and try to find out some factual information about what the 'experts' say and what the science is behind lifting weights. I would like you to write a response of no more than 300 words to the above question and attach to this board.

Test will be combined with the next unit, just prior to Christmas
