attaining the perfect buttocks- the right mixture of curvature and toned muscle. That the butt has a certain aesthetic value cannot be denied. Men and women around the world stock their closets up with skinny jeans only to accentuate their well sculpted buttocks. But besides making us look better, the butt does serve a purpose too. The glutes are essentially comprised of three muscles: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. Together they help us move our legs in all directions. Because
Lunges and squats are often referred to as the masters of lower body exercises. In addition to your legs, theses functional, compound exercises also work your buttocks. However, poor form, a muscle imbalance, the consistent overload on your knees, and the repetitive motion, can make these exercises wreak havoc on your knees. (See References 1) Not to fear, you can still strengthen and shape your glutes with do-able, effective exercise that are easy on your knees. Squeeze Your Tush Butt squeezes
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

Specifically, the peak forces of gluteus maximus and hamstring because they doubled during the terminal swing. During deceleration phase of stance, the largest contributor to both braking and support of the body mass center is the quadriceps muscle group. The quadriceps muscle group (i.e., vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius
forms of muscle strength. You get muscle strength in your biceps and your core muscles. Speed increases the difficulty of the pull ups although if you do the pull ups to fast and not properly you can strain your back and shoulder muscles. Pull ups can increase your strength because it is making you gain muscles in your core and in your biceps and triceps. Muscles used Pull-ups work many muscles in your body in your body but in the arm they work the brachialis and brachioradialis muscles in the

body. When standing still muscles co-contract to stabilise the body and prevent it from falling or flopping due to the effects of gravity. The key joints that stabilize the body are the ankle joint, knee joint, hip joint, vertebral column and the shoulder girdle. The soleus, gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior contract isometrically to keep the ankle stable at 90 degrees (Teachpe.com n.d.) (The previous reference identified was used to identify key joint types and muscles throughout my analysis).
The gluteus maximus functions to accelerate hip extension and external rotation. It is a major dynamic stabilizer of the sacroiliac joint. It has the greatest capacity to provide compressive forces to the sacroiliac joint. The gluteus medius functions a primary frontal plane stabilizer of the pelvis and lower extremity during functional movements. The psoas helps with hip
The hip joint is the articulation between the pelvis and the femur, characterized by the joint surface opposition of the acetabulum and the head of femur creating a synovial ball and socket joint. It is one of the largest and most stable joints in the body. Figure ( ): Anatomy of the hip, adapted from (Connecticut, 2006) The stability of the hip joints is achieved by the depth and congruence of the articular surfaces, further deepened and stabilized by the acetabular labrum. The fibrocartilagenous

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015) 1 in every 323 children have been identified with cerebral palsy. Every case of cerebral palsy affects the person differently whether it affects muscle control, posture and balance, muscle coordination, body movement, muscle tone, or reflexes. The disease also has many severities and variations. There are four different kinds of cerebral palsy; Spastic, Dyskinetic, Ataxic, and Mixed, but the most

With the advancement in medicine and technology, research in the fields of motor learning, biomechanics and motor control has contributed in understanding the physical requirements of golf in relation to the muscles used during the game and it’s been helpful in developing training specific programs that can be useful in improving a golfer’s performance through training and exercise. Specific golf exercise is therefore useful to golfers and help to meet the physical

Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and are especially relevant at all level of sport.1 Of all sports, the incidence of ankle sprain is higher in volleyball considering its non-contact nature.2 The most common ankle sprain occurs on the lateral or outside part of the ankle.3 Reports estimate that ankle sprains account for approximately 24% to 54% of all sport-related injuries and 23,000 persons get them per day in the United States.4 Lateral ankle sprain occurs when
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
Is your child dreaming of being a college athlete, a professional athlete, or an Olympian? Are you considering getting an extra edge over other athletes your child’s age? Is bigger, faster, and stronger better? The young athletes looking to move up to the next level are interested in improving speed, agility, and strength. Our youth are becoming increasingly involved in a more advanced level of competition with the hopes of obtaining their dreams of being the best at their chosen sport. It
I. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a sport played on ice, often within the confines of a rink. The sport is played with two teams on skates who use sticks to shoot a puck at a net to score, only occurring when the puck gets past the goaltender. The game is played with usually five skaters on the ice, plus the goaltender. Three of these players are usually forwards, while two are defenders. This game moves at a fast pace where players are on the ice for usually 45 seconds at a time before a line change
Chapter One: Introduction Over the past fifteen to twenty years women's fastpitch softball popularity has continued to grow and spread internationally. By the mid-1990s it was played in more than 85 countries under the eye of the International Softball Federation (ISF). It has become increasingly popular among women at the youth and collegiate levels. More than 630 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) member institutions sponsor women's softball programs, and national championships for
