emotional connection among the audiences. She anticipated that although her audience might not understand the overall message in her dance, they could at least feel/see its essence. Graham used her torso all throughout her dances in order to express herself. She initiated that the movement of the torso must demonstrate strength and must be the focal point. An example, would be in Graham’s dance performance, Appalachian Spring performance, there is a
how the swing works by breaking down the movements within the swing through visual aids emphasize the opportunity for a better swing and in turn, better golf. Studies of biomechanics within the golf swing have shown the sequential separation from torso to pelvis, disproving the original theory of a solid swing with continuous motion known as the X-factor. Before understanding how the biomechanics of the golf swing works with the X-factor, the basics of the swing must be established. Most amateur
and the error lines represent the standard deviations of the tested grasshopper and human subject. The jumping distance of the grasshoppers was more than the jumping distance of humans and the TTEST value was less than 0.05. 2. Relative Femur Muscle Mass The grasshopper jumps farther relative to humans because the ratio of grasshopper’s femur mass to body mass is greater than the human’s ratio of femur mass to body mass. Relative leg length The grasshopper jumps better relative to humans because
healthy start. Before getting out of bed do a few stretches to warm up your muscles and improve your range of motion. For example, try the “back flying” exercise. You’ll not only stretch the muscles in your torso and feel your spine elongate, but you'll also feel this position bring length to your arms, legs, neck, chest, and shoulders. Sit in the middle of your bed with your legs extended in front of you. Slowly lower your torso down so that your head is hanging off the bed. Extend your arms to the floor
movements of the shoulders with the trunk (Hall, 2011). In the transverse plane it is the external rotation of the hip that helps form a pirouette. The muscles used to perform the rotation are the gluteus minimus, piriformis, superior gemellus, inferior gemellus, obturator internus, obturator externus, and quadratus femoris (Hall, 2011). These muscles are used to help the leg move to the correct position for a pirouette. The biomechanical principle stability for a pirouette is primarily concerned
skeletal and cardiac muscle functions starting on the lower limbs. Obviously by damaging the muscle, the lower limbs and other muscles affected become very weak. This is ultimately caused by the lack dystrophin, a protein the body produces. 2. At age 4, James underwent a biopsy of the right gastrocnemius muscle. The pathologist's report noted histopathologic changes suggestive of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Describe in detail the typical microscopic changes noted in the muscle tissue of someone with
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
curving the torso forwards and backwards whilst balancing on one leg. These images have developed from Mather Grahams technique (Beginning Modern Dance, 1998). Just like ballet, she created her own rule and skills for her dancers, this took over 10 years to finalize and master. She has to main principles contraction and release. Her dancer created tension through contracting the muscles, and then use the flow of energy when the muscles, and then used the flow of energy when the muscle relax. The contacting

Progression of the Kouroi What is a kouros? In Greek, kouros means a young man. In art, a kouros is a statue of a young nude male who stands with his hands at his sides and one leg, usually his left, advanced. Throughout the Archaic period, which dates from 610 B.C. to 480 B.C., the basic pose of kouroi (plural for kouros) remained the same, though the anatomy of the figures gradually became more naturalistic or true to life. The ideology that the Greek sculptors wanted to achieve greater
goal would be to make front torso contact with the kick, while avoiding leaving one’s self open to a counter strike. The movements that comprise the roundhouse kick begin with a fighting stance: both feet on the ground, toes pointing straight ahead, back foot turned outside up to 22 degrees, front foot approximately 1.5 the distance of one step from the back foot, both feet approximately one length of one foot apart, extension of both legs, slight rotation of the torso in the direction of the back
Learning experience 2- question #2 The rectus abdominis is the most prominent of the abdominal muscles. The muscle is long, and flat and runs down the anterior of the abdomen. It is divided into segments by the linea alba and the horizontal tenidous. This muscle is what forms fit and toned abdominals most commonly known as a "six pack". The rectus abdominis is the abdominal muscle that aids in trunk and hip flexion. It depresses the ribs and flexes the vertebral column, narrowing the space

Period 3 Mrs.Coik Limb Paralysis Limb paralysis is the loss or impairment of movement of the limb as a result of muscle and nerve damage. The one of the most common causes of limb paralysis is a cerebral vascular accident, otherwise known as a CVA or stroke. The loss of movement can be localized and affect only a small area of muscle. It has the ability to affect a large area of muscle referred to as generalized paralysis. Another type of paralysis is unilateral paralysis, which is paralysis of one
diseases that affect the motor neurons that control the voluntary muscle movements. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative illness that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. ALS is a disease that belongs to a wider group of disorders that are known as motor neuron diseases. This is caused by gradual deterioration and the death of motor neurons. ‘Amyotrophic’ comes from the Greek roots that mean ‘without nourishment to muscles’. ‘Lateral’ means ‘to the side’ and refers to the position of
Museum Paper It is easy to forget, when decapitated and nose-less stone heads are sitting on poles in glass cases, surrounded by signs begging you, “Do Not Touch” and “No Flash Photography”, in a reverberant room with an electric fan buzzing in the corner that these works are real. They stood tall and proud in front of temples, homes, tombs. They were passed in the town square everyday by commoners and ordered to reflect the power of their noblemen. Sometimes, if you can block out the modern world
similar muscles types with similar functions, which help them survive and function throughout their individual habitats. Arm and Shoulder Muscles 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

Research Paper The topic I did is Do You Have the Muscle Energy to Do Cheerleading? The major muscles are the upper legs, which are the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, and the gluteal. The muscle of the lower leg, which is the gastrocnemius, soleus, and the interior tibias, the core muscles which is the rectus, abdomens, oblique’s, and the spinal erectors, the upper body which is the shoulders. Each one of these muscles have a part during cheer. They all require energy and dedication to this sport
