Biomechanics Quiz #2

  1. Definition of Biomechanics
    biomechanics is a branch of knowledge that deals with force and energy and their effects on living organisms and vital processes
  2. Examples of Angular Motion
    occurs when an object rotates around an axis of rotation

    • throwing
    • kicking
    • swinging a bat
  3. Examples of Linear Motion
    occurs when an object moves in a straight or curving line without rotation

    • cycling
    • running
    • jumping for vertical height
  4. Examples of Discrete Motion
    this action is usually brief and has a well-defined beginning of movement and end of movement

    • throwing
    • hitting
    • kicking
    • catching

    the influence of fluid forces on discrete motions is relatively small
  5. Examples of Continuous Motion
    this action unfolds without a recognizable beginning and end in an ongoing and often repetitive fashion

    • cycling
    • swimming
    • running

    the influence of fluid forces on continuous motions can be significant

  19. When we talk about the anterior and posterior portions of the body, we are referring to surfaces that are...
    anterior - region towards the front of a body segment

    posterior - region towards the rear of a body segment
  20. When we talk about the medial and lateral portions of the body, we are referring to surfaces that are...
    medial - a region of a body segment that is closer to the midline of the body

    lateral - region of a body segment that is farther away from the midline of the body
  21. When we talk about the proximal and distal portions of the body, we are referring to surfaces that are...
    proximal - a region of a body segment that is closer to the point of attachment of a limb to the torso

    distal - a region of a body segment that is farther away from the point of attachment of a limb to the torso
  22. When we talk about the superior and inferior portions of the body, we are referring to surfaces that are....
    superior - a region of a body segment that is closer to the head

    inferior - a region of a body segment that is closer to the feet
