Course Title : MOVEMENT ENHANCEMENT 1

Type of Activity :
Activity Title : The Science of Human Movement

A. Concept Digest

The human body movement is a human movement of a body segment toward the midline of the body.
Circumduction is a movement where a joint is the pivot and the body segment moves in a combination of
flexion, extensions, adduction and abduction.

B. Examples

TWO COMPONENTS OF THE BODY THAT CAUSE HUMAN BEINGS TO MOVE

SKELETAL SYSTEM
The skeleton provides a strong, internal framework that supports the body and provides protection for
vital organs. These bones meet at joints, the majority of which are freely movable, making the skeleton flexible
and mobile.

Functions of the Skeletal System

Physiological functions
1. Provides a site for blood formation.
2. Serves as storehouse for calcium which is essential for nerve conduction, blood clotting and energy
formation.
3. Plays a role in our immune function.

Structural functions
1. Gives support to the body.
2. It protects the delicate organs in the body.
3. Bones are rigid level of locomotion.

The Skeleton is divided into two groups:

1. Appendicular Skeleton – which is composed of the upper extremity and lower extremity
2. Axial Skeleton – which is composed of the skull, ribs, trunk, vertebral column and pelvic.

FACTORS INFLUENCING BONE HEALTH

1. HEREDITY - is an important determinant of bone mass density (BMD). This is a limiting factor on the
amount of (BMD) an individual can attain.
2. NUTRITIONAL STATUS – It is important in maintaining bone health. Calcium is important nutrient
for the bones.
3. HORMONAL STATUS – the hormone estrogen plays an important role in attaining bone mass. While
the males can develop a lower peak bone mass than females with regular monthly period.
- Acceleration on the rate of bone loss is also likely to happen on menopausal
women due to loss of estrogen.
4. ACTIVITY LEVEL – Children and adolescents should participate in high impact activities for the
bone development.

Pectoral Girdle
a) Clavicle (2) – collarbone
b) Scapula (2) – shoulder blade
c) Humerus (2) – long bone of the upper arm

Upper Extremities
a) Radius (2) – shorter and lateral bone of the forearm
b) Ulna (2) – medial and longer bone forearm
c) Carpals (16) – wrist bone
d) Metacarpals (10) – long bone of the hand
e) Patella (2) – the knee cap
f) Tibia (2) – medial and larger two bones of the lower leg
g) Tarsal (14) – the bones in the ankle
h) Metatarsals (10) – long bones in the foot that are concave on the plantar or lower surface
i) Phalanges (28) – bones of the toes and fingers
