2 ANATOMY REVIEW #1 CAP 1: Anatomy Review #1 Part 1: Movement Worldview 1. Identify what you believe to be fundamental human movements - movements that our unique anatomy was designed to perform. I believe the fundamental human movements to be running, walking, jumping, carrying, lifting, and throwing. Although the human body is capable of a vast range of motions, some are more fundamental than others. Our ancestors would have needed to move frequently in order to survive, whether that be long, slow walks from one area to the next, or sprinting away from a potential threat as fast as possible. Shulkin (2016) states that bipedalism (followed by running) is a crucial part of our developmental history and was surely necessary for our survival. Jumping is another advantage that our ancestors had over other organisms and I am sure it proved useful in situations where something was out of their reach or to help them get from point a to point b. Carrying and lifting go hand in hand, no pun intended. The ability to lift objects of varying size and weight and carry them to somewhere else was a huge advantage for our ancestors. We were able to gather supplies, bring back food that was hunted, remove unwanted objects from our home area, and many more useful things! 2. How many of the fundamental movements that you identified do you see being practiced in the average Western lifestyle in the amounts and intensities that would likely have been required by our ancestors? How many do you practice regularly? What do your answers to these questions tell you about our movement needs as a species in order to mitigate chronic disease, and even more importantly, to honor our Creator? Almost none of the fundamental movements I have identified are being practiced in the average Western lifestyle in the amounts and intensities that would have been required by our

3 ANATOMY REVIEW #1 ancestors. There are people who do not live “average” lives and may practice some of these fundamental movements as much or more than our ancestors. For example, a marathon runner will run many miles throughout the week either in preparation for a race, or just to maintain that cardiovascular endurance. Me personally, I walk a fair amount daily, I try to run at least three times a week, I work out (lift) about four to five times a week, I play basketball (jump) about once a week. As a species, I believe we need to be more active and take better care of our bodies so that we may mitigate chronic disease. Also, we were made in God’s image, and our bodies are to be vessels that God may use us how he sees fit. If we try to live more healthy lifestyles and take care of our earthly bodies, we are honoring the creator whether we know it or not. Part 2: Real World Application 1. There is a noticeable similarity at the ankle joint between all three movers that includes movement in multiple planes. Describe the joint actions that are taking place at the ankle in both the sagittal and frontal planes. Use precise and thorough anatomical terminology as if you were explaining what you see to a kinesiologist who was not able to view the video. The ankle joints are performing plantar flexion and dorsiflexion in the sagittal plane when the athlete runs. The ankle joints are also performing inversion and eversion in the frontal plane when the athlete runs. 2. Examine the anatomy of the arch of the foot in your textbook together with the following image of a hyper-pronated or collapsed arch, and the articles attached to this week’s
