Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 5.29 KB

Joint Stability and Congruence

Stability and Congruence in Articular Joints:

  • Passive Factors: Joint capsule, ligaments.
  • Active Factors: Muscular system (monoarticular and biarticular muscles).

Normal Mobility

Spatial Position: Within physiological ranges.

  • Active Motion: Performed by active contraction of the musculature itself.
  • Functional Motion: Lower-level movements.

Physiological Limitations

  • Biomechanical
  • Pathological
  • Systemic

These limitations result in an active, functional state of the patient.

Passive Mobility

Performed by the examiner.

Anatomical Limitations

  • Articular Top
  • Pathological Pain

The score depends on the type of patient and the structural state.

Goniometry

Goniometry is the measurement of joint ranges of motion, whether normal or pathological.... Continue reading "Joint Stability and Range of Motion Assessment" »

Systems Development of Resistance

Systems development or job training are methods that are based on adapting the body to certain stimuli that cause systematic changes in body systems.

Continuous Training Methods

The Continuous Run

This training method belongs to the continuous system (the work is without breaks). It is also called jogging or trotting.

The most important characteristics of this method are:

  • Steady pace
  • Pulsation in the area of activity
  • Predominance of volume over intensity

Fartlek Training

Fartlek is a method which belongs to the continuous systems. It consists of a continuous run with changes of pace. Originally, it was performed in nature, and the rhythm changes were dictated by the terrain. Now, the changes of pace, intensity, and duration...

Written on in English with a size of 2.71 KB

WHO Definitions (1983)

For the WHO (1983), impairment is any loss or abnormality of structure or function, psychological, physiological, or anatomical; disability relates to the absence, due to impairments, of the ability to perform an activity in the manner or within the range considered normal for a human being; and handicap refers to a disadvantage for an individual, a social consequence of impairment or disability that limits or prevents the fulfillment of a role considered normal depending on age group, sex, social, and cultural factors.

For WHO, disability is the lack (resulting from an impairment) of the ability to perform an activity normally.

Cardiac Physiology: Contraction, Conduction, and Cycle

Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 4.93 KB

Intrinsic Regulation of Contraction

a) Relationship between length and tension

Muscle fiber (Frank-Starling Law) ownership of the heart to contract in proportion to its completeness (a more complete, higher volume of projection) to a level where more volume increases are not accompanied by spending.

Frank-Starling law: The higher the fill of the heart during diastole, the greater the force of contraction during systole. Therefore, tension increases as diastolic volume increases until it reaches a maximum, then it tends to decrease.

Speed Conduction in the Heart Muscle

Atrial and ventricular muscle fibers:

  • 0.3 to 0.5 m/sec.
  • 1/250 speed of large nerve fibers.
  • 1/10 speed of skeletal muscle fibers.

Purkinje system: 4 m/sec.

The action potential can traverse... Continue reading "Cardiac Physiology: Contraction, Conduction, and Cycle" »

Ancient Egyptian Mummification: Rituals and Process

Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 3.05 KB

The Significance of the False Beard

The "beard," often resembling a long, small beard, was worn on the chin and secured behind the ears. Craftsmen and merchants also belonged to this group, with many employed in domestic service. Egyptians were renowned as skilled artisans.

The Role of Priests

In service to religion, priests held significant power, accumulating substantial wealth within their temples. They also owned a large portion of the country's land.

The Mummification Process

Bodies underwent an extensive process where their intestines were extracted and placed in vessels known as "canopic jars." The bodies were then coated in various substances and meticulously wrapped in bandages to preserve their lifelike appearance.

Embalming the Body

Item 3: Resistance

Resistance is the ability that allows us to maintain physical effort for a prolonged duration and recover more quickly afterward.

In the Muscular System:

  • Type of muscle fiber
  • Energy deposits to obtain ATP
  • Ability to remove lactic acid that accumulates after anaerobic work, preventing fatigue

In the Nervous System:

  • Coordination of different muscles to execute movement

In the Circulatory System:

  • Quantity of blood flow
  • Capacity of the body to transport oxygen and energetic substances

In the Respiratory System:

  • Ability to deliver oxygen to the body
  • Oxygen exchange in the alveoli of the lungs and muscle cells
