1 Muscular Analysis of & Lower Chapter 13 Muscular Analysis of and Lower Manual of Structural Kinesiology R.T. Floyd, EdD, ATC, CSCS Strength, endurance, & flexibility of the lower extremity, trunk, & muscles are very important in skillful physical performance & body maintenance Whether the muscle is lengthening or shortening during movement determines contraction type Muscles may shorten or lengthen in the absence of a contraction through passive movement caused by other contracting muscles, momentum, gravity, or external forces such as manual assistance machines 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved Muscular Analysis of & Lower Concentric contractions shortening contraction of muscles against gravity or resistance Eccentric contraction muscle lengthens under tension to control the joints moving with gravity or resistance Muscular Analysis of & Lower Quadriceps contracts eccentrically when the body slowly lowers in a weightbearing movement through lower extremity action functions as a decelerator to knee joint in weight-bearing movements by contracting eccentrically to prevent too rapid of a downward movement slow descent is eccentric & ascent from the squatted position is concentric 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved McGraw-Hill Higher Education. All rights reserved Muscular Analysis of & Lower Quadriceps function in squatting descent at the same speed as gravity, essentially under no muscular control, the muscle lengthening would be passive movement & change in muscle length would be caused by gravity, not by active muscular contraction Free Weight-Training Exercises Exercise with weights is a commonly used means of developing & maintaining muscular strength in young people & adults When using free weights it is important to ensure that one group of muscles is not overdeveloped and another is underdeveloped Thorough knowledge of muscles being used is essential 2007 McGraw-Hill Higher Education.
