What This Document Is
This document is a lab assignment (Lab 4) for Kinesiology (ES 4763) at Arkansas State University, dated Spring 2021. It focuses on the kinematic analysis of lower body movements, requiring students to identify joint actions and the muscles involved in those movements during specific exercises. The assignment is worth 60 points and is due by 11:59 pm on March 7th.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in ES 4763 Kinesiology. It serves as a practical application of concepts learned in Chapter 8, testing their ability to connect observed movements with the underlying anatomical actions and muscle contributions. Successful completion demonstrates understanding of how the body moves and the musculature responsible for those movements.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document is a task *to be completed*, not a learning resource. It assumes prior knowledge of kinesiology principles and anatomical terminology. It does not provide instruction on *how* to perform the analysis, only the exercises to analyze.
What This Document Provides
The full document includes: six separate movement analysis questions – Hip tablet top, Hamstring curls, Jumping jacks, Lateral cable hip exercise, Lunge to kick, and Box step ups. Each question presents a starting and ending position for a movement and requires the student to identify the joint actions and the prime movers and assisting muscles involved in the concentric contraction. The document provides tables for students to type their answers directly into. This preview only describes the assignment’s structure and purpose. It does *not* contain the answers or detailed instructions for completing the analysis.
