Exercise Analysis: Bird Dog Exercise
The Exercise, Bird Dog, is a strengthening exercise and it concentrates its movements on the upper and the lower extremities of the body through the sagittal plane. In particular it targets the muscle, erector spinae, which is located along the side of your spinal cord. The muscle runs from the Inferior part of the lower back and superior towards the neck. The erector spinae group also aids as supporters that help lengthen the vertebral column. The woman in the video begins the exercise on her hands and knees. She begins the exercise with lifting both her left arm and her right leg at the same time. Firing her muscle fibers in the anterior part of the Deltoid, used as an agonist for shoulder flexion, as

Demonstrating the muscles being used, the lower extremities and a few in the upper extremities due to the bar used. The gluteus maximus is one of the primary movers in hip extension. This muscle is used twice in the exercise, at the start when he raises the bar and then towards the end, when he is in fully erect position. The hamstrings, which consist of the bicep femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosus, work together to stabilize and flex the knee and also aid in hip extension. In the work out, the hamstrings help flex the knee in certain occasions and at the end when exerting superiorly with the bar over the head. The hamstrings collaborate with the gluteus maximus to lengthen the hips throughout the initial and final stand. The quadriceps contributes in the act and also helps with the extension of the knee and as a stabilizer for the knee. The vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis and rectus femoris work together to start with the initial pull and standing movement, which extends the knee. He uses his calves, synergist to knee extension, entailing the soleus and the gastrocnemius while planter flexing the foot. This movement occurs when he jumps upwards and lifts his heels off the
One of the most important muscles in both a mink and a human are those of the arms and shoulders because of their involvement with movement. One of the primal movers of arm abduction along the frontal plane is the deltoid muscle found in both minks and humans. In both species, deltoid muscles allow for the abduction of the humerus. The next two muscles are the biceps brachii and its opposing muscle the triceps brachii. The biceps brachii consists of two heads, which arise from the scapula and join to form a single muscle that ends upon the upper forearm. The most important functions of the biceps brachii are the supination of the forearm and the flexing of the elbow. The triceps brachii on the other hand extends the forearm in both minks and humans and has three heads as opposed to two in its antagonist biceps brachii (Scott). The origin of the triceps brachii is also from the scapula like the biceps brachii. In a mink, the extensor digitorium originates on the lateral epicondyle of the humerus yet in humans it is present in the posterior forearm and is responsible for extending the phalanges, wrist, and elbow in both species. Anothier muscle with similar functions to the extensor digitorium is the flexor carpi ulnaris but instead it is soley responsible for flexin...
The Yorkshire Terrier is described to have personality. He is active, very overprotective, curious, and fond of attention. He is easily trained and learns quickly. He thrives on the love and affection of their owners, which is easily done because of their adorable stature and cute looks. The normal yorkie weighs seven pounds, but the small dog can reach up to fifteen pounds. The yorkie is the seventh most popular dog in America, according to the American Kennel Club, and it only takes one glance at his face and you realize why.
Flexion is the bending of a joint so that the angle between the two bones decreases. The primary muscles that flex the knee are a group collectively known as “hamstrings.” The hamstrings consist of the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus. The muscles that assist in flexion are the sartorius, gracilis,...
When listening to ‘Dog’ by Bob Dorough from the album ‘Jazz Canto – Volume 1’ before listening to the track ‘Ella Guru’ from Trout Mask Replica, there are a number of comparisons to be drawn, specifically with the lyrics and vocal delivery. More than anything, it’s the fast cadence and playful style, when Dorough delivers lines such as “The dog trots freely in the street, and what he sees is reality, and the things he sees are bigger than himself, and the things he sees are his reality”, in many ways, Dorough is describing an otherwise quite complex idea with words that are as simple as they can possibly be, while at the same time it could’ve been described in less words, though had it been, a lot of the poetry of it would’ve been lost. Beefheart’s style is similar in ‘Ella Guru’ where – before the first chorus – he sings “She do what she mean
Some medical professionals do not believe that mental health patients can benefit from therapy dogs and go as far as saying it is a risk far as to say that it is a to the patient and compromise the patients ability to take care of the dog.

The idea of writing at any school level or in life is seen more as a grueling task than enjoyable experience. In the novel, Bird by Bird, the author Anne Lamott is speaking to a generation of writers, who may be struggling with the process. The content is rich with stories to help the writer analyze his or her own life to add it to their writing style, a concept that may be hard for some people. Bird by Bird is an effective book, because Lamott includes not only writing tips, but a sense of humor along with life advice.
...amstrings are on the back of a person’s leg and knee. Just like quadriceps, they are extremely painful to injure and it takes a long time to heal. Also they can get very strong while squatting and it doesn’t take long before it helps you with your upcoming sport because it is so easy to strengthen. The secondary muscles worked while squatting are abdominals, gastrocnemius(calves), muscles in your arms and back as they hold the bar.
The knee joint is extended when in the standing position, to stabilize this joint the biceps femoris, semi-mebranosus, semi-tendonosus (hamstrings) and the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius and vastus medialis (quadriceps) co-contract isometrically.
This skill involves jumping in the sagittal plane about the transverse axis. It consists of hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder joints. In the preparation phase in propulsion, the subject has flexed knees and hips which will need to be straightened by the strength of their corresponding joints such as the hinge joint at the knee joint. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint that bears the body weight and allows for jumping motion. During th...

“Simon Says” is a game commonly played among children of all ages, but especially younger children in many different cultures. “Simon Says” requires there to be one leader who is called Simon. Simon states orders to the other players such as “jump up and down”, “pat your head”, “rub your stomach”, etc. The trick is that unless Simon says “Simon Says” before the action, the other players must not perform the action stated by Simon. This game may address the social development of children because they are required to pay attention to their peers and what they are saying. This game may also address the physical development of children by motivating them to be active by performing various physical activities. Good Start Grow Smart standard
The purpose of the squat is to train the muscles around the knees and hip joints, as well as to develop strength in the lower back, for execution of basic skills required in many sporting events and activities of daily living. Because a strong and stable knee is extremely important to an athlete or patient’s success, an understanding of knee biomechanics while performing the squat is helpful to therapists, trainers, and athletes alike (11). Because most activities of daily living require the coordinated contraction of several muscle groups at once, and squatting (a multi-joint movement) is one of the few strength training exercises that is able to effectively recruit multiple muscle groups in a single movement, squats are considered one of the most functional and efficient weight-bearing exercises whether an individual’s goals are sport specific or are for an increased quality of life
Often during times of distress, people use religion as a way of coping with problems. The dog in the story is “. . . turned over upon his back, and held his paws in a peculiar manner. At the same time with his ears and his eyes he offered a small prayer to the child”(Crane, "A Dark Brown Dog"). This happens several times in the story which usually brings the little boy happiness.
Both poems of Margaret Avison and P.K Page are common to the point of cliché in literary criticism to safely state that both were metafictional to a certain extent. The beauty and vividness of the language and patterning of lexical items employed and deployed make it imperative to acknowledge the rightfulness of both poets to fame and renown.
