Movement types
1. Abduction- moving away from the midline of the body
2. Adduction- moving towards the midline of the body
3. Circumduction- a body part moves from the anatomical position
  1. Pronation- the radio ulna joint- the palm faces backwards or downwards
    1. Subination- the radio ulna joint- the palm faces forwards or upwards
4. Dorsiflexion- the foot moves towards the shin
  1. Plantarflexion- the foot moves away from the shin
    1. Lateral flexion- bending sideways at the waist
Three types of motion
1. Linear- movement along a straight/curved line where all parts have the same speed, direction and distance e.g. skeleton
2. Angular- movement around a fixed point/axis e.g. a wheel's rotation in cycling
3. General- combination of linear and angular e.g. long jump
Types of force
1. Direct- force is applied through the object's centre of mass, resulting in linear motion e.g. striking the centre of a football
2. Eccentric- force is applied outside the centre of mass resulting in angular motion e.g. striking the edge of a football
Newton's Laws of Motion
1. Inertia- "a body/object continues in a state of rest or uniform velocity unless acted on by an external force" e.g. kicking a static football
2. Acceleration- "the rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it" e.g. kicking the ball harder means it travels faster
3. Action and reaction- "for every action and reaction there is an equal and opposite reaction" e.g. the force the ball exerts onto the tennis racket is exerted back onto the racket
Stablility
1. how difficult it is to disturb a body from a balanced position
2. Centre of mass= the point at which the body is balanced in all directions
3. Base of support= an imaginary line around everything in contact with the ground
4. Line of gravity= a line travelling from the centre of mass vertically to the ground
The heart
1. The Cardiac Cycle
2. The Conduction System
3. Heart rate= the amount of heartbeats in a minute (average is 70-72bpm)
4. Stroke Volume= the volume of blood that leaves the heart each beat (average 70ml)
5. Coronary Heart Disease
  1. Arteriosclerosis
  2. Atherosclerosis
  3. Angina
  4. Heart attack
6. Cardiac output= the volume of blood that leaves the heart per minute (average 4900ml)
Venous Return
1. Starling's Law
2. Maintaining Venous Return
  1. Pocket Valves
    1. One way valves in the veins prevent backflow of blood and direct it towards the heart
  2. Muscle Pump
    1. Veins are found between skeletal muscles, which when contracting/relaxing push/squeeze blood to the heart
  3. Respiratory Pump
    1. Breathing becomes deeper/faster during exercise, increasing pressure in the abdomen, squeezing large veins and forcing blood back to the heart
  4. Smooth Muscle
    1. Contraction/relaxation of smooth muscle in the middle layer of the vein walls helps push blood through the veins
  5. Gravity
    1. Blood from the upper body is aided by gravity as it descends to the heart
  6. Blood Pooling
    1. Blood Pressure
      1. Resistance
        The friction of the blood cells as they travel against the vessel wall; this is termed viscosity (fluid friction)
      2. Exercise
      3. The pressure exerted by the blood against the blood vessel walls
    2. If there is insufficient pressure to push deoxygenated blood back to the heart, blood will sit in the pocket valves of veins
      1. Blood pooling is often described as a feeling of heavy legs
Cardiac Control Centre (CCC)
1. Neural Control
  1. Proprioreceptors which detect muscle activity change, chemoreceptors which detect chemical change and baroreceptors that detect the stretching of blood vessel walls
2. Hormonal Control
  1. Before/during exercise, adrenaline is released from the adrenal glands to directly stimulate the SA node, increasing HR and SV
3. Intrinsic Control
  1. Detects an increase in temperature and venous return as exercise increases and vice versa
4. Located in the Medulla Oblongata, it controls HR and SV. The CCC is involuntary and is controlled by the ANS
  1. ANS is divided into sympathetic, which increases HR, and parasympathetic, which decreases HR.
The VCC and Vascular Shunt Mechanism
Transport of O2 and CO2
1. Vascular effects of a Warm Up
  1. Vasoconstriction of arterioles/pre-capillary sphincters to restrict blood flow to organs and vice versa
  2. Decrease in onset of blood lactate accumulation due to early anaerobic activity onset
  3. Increase in temperature decreases blood viscosity to improve blood flow
  4. Increased temperature increases enzyme transportation required for energy systems and muscle contraction
2. Vascular effects of a Cool Down
  1. Elevates metabolic activity to gradually decrease HR and BR
  2. Maintains blood flow to continue supply of oxygen and maintain blood pressure
  3. Maintains respiratory + muscle pumps for venous return and blood pooling prevention
  4. Dilates capillaries to flush muscles with oxygenated blood + increase lactic acid ad C02 removal
3. Oxygen= 3% blood plasma + 97% oxyhaemoglobin
4. Carbon Dioxide= 7% blood plasma + 23% carbominahaemoglobin + 70% carbonic acid
