General Motion
What is General Motion?
 Straight-line movement
 Turning or rotating movement.

How the Body Moves:

 Pushing or pulling (that's the straight-line part)
 Turning or twisting (that's the rotation part).

Why It Matters in Everyday Life:

 Helps us do these things better and avoid getting hurt.
 Helps in the healing process.

Types of movements
 Locomotor Movements:
 These are movements that involve traveling from one place to another.
 Examples include walking, running, hopping, jumping, galloping, sliding,
and skipping.
 Non-locomotor Movements:
 Non-locomotor movements are stationary movements that do not involve
traveling.
 Examples include bending, twisting, stretching, pushing, pulling, swaying,
and turning.
 Manipulative Movements:
 These movements involve handling objects.
 Examples include throwing, catching, kicking, striking (with hands or tools),
dribbling, and striking with implements like bats or racquets.
Types of movements
 Combination Movements:
 Combination movements involve a combination of two or more basic
movements.
 For example, a cartwheel involves a combination of rolling and hand
support.
 Gymnastics Movements:
 Gymnastics movements include a wide range of body movements, balances,
and flexibility exercises.
 These can include activities like tumbling, handstands, somersaults, and
balance beam routines.
 Dance Movements:
 Dance involves expressive and rhythmic movements.
 It can include various dance forms such as ballet, jazz, modern dance, and
traditional cultural dances.
Types of movements
 Aerobic Movements:
 Aerobic movements focus on activities that increase cardiovascular
endurance and respiratory fitness.
 Examples include jogging, cycling, swimming, and aerobic dance.
 Anaerobic Movements:
 Anaerobic movements are short, intense bursts of activity that do not rely on
oxygen for energy.
 Examples include weightlifting, sprinting, and high-intensity interval
training (HIIT).
 Flexibility Movements:
 Flexibilitymovements involve activities that enhance the range of motion
around joints.
 Stretching exercises, yoga, and Pilates are examples of flexibility
movements.
Types of movements
 Strength Movements:
 Strength movements focus on activities that build muscle strength.
 This can include weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, and resistance
training.
 Balancing Movements:
 Balancing movements involve maintaining equilibrium and control over the
body.
 Activities like standing on one leg, balancing on a beam, or holding yoga
poses are examples.
 Reaction Time Movements:
 Reaction time movements involve quick responses to stimuli.
 This can include activities that require rapid changes in direction, quick
starts and stops, and quick decision-making.
Factor Affecting Human
Moments
Factor Affecting Human Moments
 Muscle Strength and Activation:
 Muscle strength is a crucial determinant of movement.
 The activation and coordination of muscles play a significant role in
controlling and producing movement.
 Joint Structure and Function:
 Joint
flexibility, range of motion, and stability influence
movement patterns.
 Joint
health and integrity impact the ability to perform certain
movements.
Factor Affecting Human Moments
 Neuromuscular Control:

 The nervous system's role in coordinating and controlling

muscle movements is fundamental.
 Proprioception and feedback mechanisms contribute to
smooth and coordinated movements.
 Biomechanical Forces:
Forces such as gravity, friction, and air resistance
affect human movement.
Understanding how these forces interact with the body
is essential for analyzing and improving movement.
Factor Affecting Human Moments
 Posture and Alignment:
 Proper body alignment and posture are critical for efficient movement.
 Poor posture can lead to compensations and increased risk of injury.
 Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition:
 The process of learning and acquiring motor skills impacts movement
proficiency.
 Practice, feedback, and skill refinement contribute to improved
movement patterns.
 Anthropometrics:
 Individual variations in body size, shape, and proportions
affect movement.
 Designing equipment and interventions that account for
anthropometric differences is important.
Factor Affecting Human Moments
 Environmental Factors:
 The environment, including surfaces and obstacles, influences movement.
 Considerations such as terrain, lighting, and temperature can impact performance.
 Age and Development:
 Human movement evolves throughout the lifespan.
 Developmental stages, aging, and maturation impact movement capabilities.

 Equipment and Technology:

 The tools and technology used in sports, rehabilitation, or daily activities can influence
movement.
 Advancements in equipment may enhance or alter movement patterns.
Factor Affecting Human Moments
 Psychological Factors:
 Psychological factors, such as motivation, confidence, and mental focus,
influence movement execution.
 Emotional and cognitive aspects play a role in movement quality.
 Injury and Rehabilitation:
 Past injuries may affect movement patterns and performance.
 Rehabilitation strategies and exercises can play a role in restoring optimal
movement.
Biomechanical Analysis
Of Swimming
