|
Eccentric phase |
The phase of an Isotonic contraction that is characterized by the angel of the joint increasing or the muscle lengthening |
|
|
Isometric muscle contraction |
A muscle contraction in which the length of the muscle is unchanged. Can be accomplished with equipment in the water |
|
|
I so kinetic muscle contraction |
A muscle contraction with controlled speed, allowing maximal force to be applied throughout the range of motion. Can be accomplished in water by concentrating on pushing and pulling with an even amount of force through the water |
|
|
Biomechanics |
Isotonic muscle contractions the phase of an Isotonic contraction that is characterized by the angel of the joint decreasing or the muscle shortening |
|
|
Proper biomechanics during aqua fitness |
Correct biomechanics and body form illicit more efficient movement |
|
|
Proper biomechanics during aqua fitness |
More efficient movements prevent the risk for injury Once correct form is established, then one can develop speed Think about lifting out through the crown of the head Keep chest lifted, but the shoulders down and relaxed Keep the head level and eyes straight ahead. This will prevent the back from arching or the body folding inward |
|
|
Proper biomechanics during aqua fitness |
Maintain a neutral pelvis. Keep the abdominals engaged and the knees soft Keep feet parallel and the toes pointed forward. Always lower the heel of the foot to the floor when bouncing. Avoid jumping up and down on the ball of the foot Rotate the spine only in specific exercises that illicit the movement, twist jumps When performing muscle conditioning exercises don't compensate by using other muscles. Isolate the muscles called into action. |
