praxis 5095 physical education Questions with Verified Answers
anatomy and physiology Structure or function of the body/ working system
exercise physiology focuses on the changes in function and structure caused by exercise
biomechanics A study that uses principals of physics to quantitatively study how forces
interact within a living body.
kinesiology study of human movement
motor learning Repeated practice of motor control processes, which lead to a change in
the ability to produce complex movements.
motor development The development of action and coordination of ones limbs, as well
as the development of strength, posture control, balance and perceptual skills
agonist muscles that causes motion
antagonist A muscle that can move the joint opposite to the movement produced by the
agonist. EX biceps - triceps, back- chest, shoulders-chest and back, quad-hamstring
, isokinetic MM pulling and holding weight. Resisting weight while lengthening muscle. EX
exercise bike
Isotonic MM lifting constant amount of weight at different speeds through ROM
dynamic MM The contractions of a muscle resulting in movement. Concentric and
eccentric contraction are considered dynamic movements.
isometric MM The contraction of a muscle without significant movement, also referred
to as static tension EX leg extension no weight
Anatomical Position POS Forward facing and palms out
distal POS farthest from body part referenced
proximal POS closest to referenced body part. EX shoulder closer to neck than fingers
superior POS body part above another EX knees above toes
lateral POS away from sagittal midline of body EX arms out laying down
medial POS toward sagittal midline of body EX arms resting
