Part 1: Paper (Kinesiological Analysis Report)
Objective:
The objective of the paper is to analyze a specific motion of the human body from a kinesiological perspective, including anatomical, biomechanical, and muscular analysis.
Topic-SQUATS
Instructions:
Select a Movement: Choose a simple movement (e.g., a squat, tennis serve, soccer kick, running stride, basketball jump shot, etc.) or a more complex skill that can be easily filmed. Ensure the movement is one you can break down into phases.
Paper Structure:
Introduction 10 points (1-2 pages):
Provide an overview of the chosen movement.
State the purpose of the analysis and the significance of improving the mechanics of the movement.
Discuss the key goals of the motion (e.g., increased efficiency, injury prevention, performance enhancement).
Kinesiological Analysis 10 points (3-5 pages):
Movement Phases: Break down the movement into distinct phases (e.g., preparation, execution, follow-through).
Anatomical Analysis:Describe the joints and muscles involved during each phase of the movement. Include which muscles are active (agonist/antagonist/synergist), types of muscle contractions (isotonic, isometric), and ranges of motion (flexion, extension, abduction, etc.).
Biomechanical Principles:Analyze the key biomechanical principles at play, such as force production, balance, velocity, angular momentum, and center of gravity during the movement.
Common Errors & Inefficiencies: Identify typical mistakes or inefficiencies related to technique or execution. Discuss their potential consequences, such as performance issues or increased risk of injury.
Improvements and Recommendations 10 points (2-3 pages):
Based on your analysis, provide detailed recommendations to improve the movement’s efficiency and reduce injury risk.
Suggest corrective exercises, drills, or interventions that could be implemented to enhance performance.
Conclusion 10 points (1 page):
Summarize key findings from the analysis.
Discuss the importance of applying kinesiological principles to real-world movement.
References 10 points:
Cite all sources used in the analysis (books, articles, research papers, etc.) following APA format.
Paper Guidelines:
Length: 7-10 pages (not including references).
Format: Times New Roman, 12 pt font, double-spaced, 1-inch margins.
APA citation format for references.
