BODY MECHANICS TEST ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
gross motor skills - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Requires a great deal of muscular movement, total body and
or multi-limb movements
fine motor skills - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Very little body movement initiated, usually involves
manipulation of objects while in relatively stationary position
Balance - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A state of equilibrium characterized by cancellation of equal opposing
forces
Center of mass - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The point at which gravity acts from the body. What is the
average position of the total mass of the body
Muscles and limbs work together like __________ - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅....levers:
Different joints are organized in different ways, but are made up of
A. A pivot or fulcrum (the joint itself)
B. A load (The limb itself plus any object moved)
C. Effort (The muscle producing the force)
Force - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Is a push or pull. It is a result of motion and is necessary for motion to
occur
Transfer of momentum - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Momentum created in one segment is transferred to
another segment
Backswing - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The initial part of the stroke, in which one moves a racket, bat, club,
or limb to the position from which forward motion begins
Downswing - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The part of the stroke from the end of the backswing to impact or
release; creates the motion and momentum for ball impact or release. This is initiated by the weight
shift
