Based on your figure, what is the biggest difference between the angular displacement in the sagittal plane and that in the other two planes? b. Provide an explanation for your findings from a). (Hint: Think about the anatomy of the knee joint)arrow_forward
- An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardMatch the shoulder girdle movements to those shoulder joint movements that occur as a result of excessive glenohumeral movements. Abduction A.
