Movement analysis and basic biomechanics

3 lessons

Threads

  • Think: knowledge of healthy, active living

Description

This unit will explore basic principles of movement and their effect on sporting performance to include the classification of levers, planes of movement and axis of rotation. This understanding enables pupils to maximise efficiency of movement or generate more power.

Pupils will already have in-depth understanding of how muscles work in antagonistic pairs across a joint to create movement via the leverage of bones. After they appreciate the three classes of lever and different planes/ axes our bodies can move in they will be in a strong position to develop their understanding of how different types of training impact positively on sporting performance. This unit links nicely with learning from maths and physics to form the foundations of biomechanical understanding.

  1. Levers and mechanical advantage
  2. Planes and axes
  3. Planes and axes in physical activity and sport
