1. Determine whether each of the following activities requires a static or dynamic analysis:
In order to determine if each of the following activities are dynamic or static we must first
determine the difference between the two. According to The study and Analysis of Human
Movement statics is “the study of factors associated with nonmoving systems,”. The definition
for dynamic is “the study of factors associated with moving systems”. So when analyzing the
activities we have to look at what motion the body is in to determine if it is dynamic or static.
a. Checker at a supermarket would be considered dynamic as she is moving during her job.
b. A handstand is static. In order to perform a handstand properly one must be still
otherwise known as static.
c. A sprint starting position must be static. In starting position, each sprinter is placed in
their lane at a static stance waiting to transition into dynamic.
d. a hammer throw is dynamic as the body is in motion when throwing a hammer.
e. the en garde position in fencing is static, in proper form the fencer must be still before
proceeding to fence.
f. a football line stance is static as the players are still to start.
g. Taking a chip shot in golf is dynamic as the body must accelerate to hit the ball.
h. a basketball free throw is a dynamic activity.
i. typing is a dynamic as the fingers are still moving to complete the task.
j. a conformation evaluation of a show horse is static.
k. an older adult standing from a seated position would a dynamic activity.
3. Discuss potential damaging effects on young musculoskeletal structures with excessive
weight training.
Some potential damaging effects on young musculoskeletal structures with excessive weigth
training can include an increase tension of the tendon on the bone thus resulting in micro-tear
of the tendons. This can lead to Osgood-“hlatte’s disease. Usually pedoiat y uik
stops, depending on the intensity of weight lifting this can be a factor. Another factor that can
occur between the age 14 to 22 is the muscle could pull itself off the bone. During development
of the muscles testosterone is also produced creating even stronger muscles that end up pulling
itself away from the muscles attachment point. One other factor that could affect adolescents
musculoskeletal structure is the epiphyseal plate. When lifting excessive weight this can stunt
the growth of the bone.
6. For the following movements, list the axis and plane used during the force phase of the
movement: (a) the breathing movement for the front crawl (neck), (b) the vertical jump (knee),

(c) the elementary backstroke (shoulder joint), (d) the forehand drive in tennis (shoulder joint),
(e) the placekick (knee), and (f) turning a door handle (radioulnar joint).
a. Axis: Longitudinal Plane: transverse
b. Axis: M-L Plane: sagittal
c. Axis: A-P Plane: frontal
d. Axis: longitudinal Plane: Transverse
e. Axis: M-L Plane: Sagittal
f. Axis: Longitudinal Plane: transverse
