Lab time: ___________________________ Name: _____________________________ EXS 387 - Biomechanics Lab #2b - ANATOMICAL ANALYSIS OF MOVEMENT Learning objective: Identify the muscles active during each phase of a human movement. Analysis procedures: 1. Identify the joint action. 2. Identify the type of muscle contraction (concentric, eccentric, or isometric). a. Determine if the mechanical energy of the limbs and body increase (speeding up or lifting), decrease (slowing down or lowering), or don't change (no movement at joint). b. The change in energy indicates the total work done (positive, negative, or zero). c. If no external forces other than gravity act on the limbs and body, then the muscle action is: • concentric if positive work is done • eccentric if negative work is done • isometric or no action at all if zero work is done. d. If external forces other than gravity do act on the limbs and body, then imagine what would happen at the joint if no muscle contractions occurred: • if the imagined joint action is the same as the joint action observed but faster, then the muscle action is eccentric. • if the imagined joint action is opposite to the joint action observed, then the muscle action is concentric. • if no joint action was observed, but there is imagined joint action, then the muscle action is isometric and the active muscle group is an antagonist to the imagined joint action. 3. Identify the role of the active muscle group. a. If the muscle action is concentric - the active muscles are agonists to the joint action. b. If the muscle action is eccentric - the active muscles are antagonists to the joint action. c. If the muscle action is isometric - the active muscles are stabilizers. 4. Identify the active muscle group. a. If the active muscles are agonists to the joint action - the muscles produce a torque in the same direction as the joint action, e.g., if the joint action is flexion and the active muscles are agonists, then the active muscle group is the flexor group (the active muscles are flexors). b. If the active muscles are antagonists to the joint action - the muscles produce a torque in the opposite direction of the joint action, e.g., if the joint action is flexion and the active muscles are antagonists, then the active muscle group is the extensor group (the active muscles are extensors). c. If the active muscles are stabilizers, then the active muscle group must be determined by an analysis of what other torques act around the joint. 5. Identify the specific muscles in the muscle group. Use your knowledge of functional anatomy or look in your anatomy textbook. In lab activities: Together, the class will analyze the following activities. For each phase of each activity and for each joint, identify the joint action occurring, the type of muscular contraction, the role of the active muscles, and the active muscle group. A sample analysis of a bench press is shown. 1. BENCH PRESS Phases: up and down Joints: elbow and shoulder 2. PUSH UP Phases: down and up Joints: elbow and shoulder 3. SIT UP Phases: up and down Joints: hip and intervertebralName ____________________________________________ page 2 EXAMPLE ANALYSIS OF BENCH PRESS (wide grip) Joint Phase of Motion Joint Action (not position) Muscle Contraction Role of Active Muscles Active Muscle Group ELBOW DOWN flexion eccentric antagonist extensors* UP extension concentric agonist extensors SHOULDER DOWN horizontal abduction eccentric antagonist horizontal adductors** UP horizontal adduction concentric agonist horizontal adductors *Active elbow muscle group and muscles: extensors: triceps, anconeus **Active shoulder muscle group and muscles: horizontal adductors - pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, coracobrachialis 1. SPRINTING: Analyze the sprinter (Coby Miller) shown in the sequence photos included with in Lab #2 by completing the charts on pages 4 and 5. The analysis will encompass one full stride from Frame 1 through Frame 8. Seven phases will be analyzed, each phase representing the movement occurring from one frame to the next. Analyze the movements at the right hip, right knee, right ankle, right shoulder, and right elbow joints. The charts you complete on pages 2 through 4 are your write up for this lab. You are allowed (and encouraged) to use a pencil when completing the charts for this lab write up.

Is the work done positive or negative? Positive work Negative work Zero work Concentric contraction Agonist Eccentric contraction Isometric contraction Antagonist Active muscle group exerts torque in same direction as joint action, i.e., if joint action is flexion then active muscle group is flexors Active muscle group exerts torque in opposite direction as joint action i.e., if joint action is flexion then active muscle group is extensors No muscle activity Stabilizer What would happen if the muscles were relaxed (not contracting). There is no joint action. Active muscle
