Classified in Physical Education

Written on in with a size of 2.89 KB

Flexibility Factors

Mechanical Factors

  • Joint, Muscle, and Ligament Flexibility: Determined by the number of planes of motion (1, 2, or 3).

Emotional Factors

  • Nervous System: Individual nervous state influences muscle tone and flexibility.
  • Calmness: A relaxed state promotes optimal muscle tone and flexibility.

Environmental and Lifestyle Factors

  • Temperature: Inhabitants of warmer climates often exhibit greater flexibility compared to those in colder regions.
  • Age: Flexibility generally decreases with age.
  • Social Customs: Lifestyle and cultural habits affect the degree of flexibility in specific body regions.

Types of Flexibility

Classification by Fleischmann

  • Static: The degree of flexibility achieved through slow, assisted movement.
  • Dynamic: Involved in the

Written on in with a size of 2.34 KB

Breaststroke Technique

Arms: The recovery occurs underwater, keeping the body as streamlined as possible by bringing the hands close together under the chest. The traction phase provides the primary propulsion.

Legs: The feet utilize external rotation and dorsal flexion. The movement is circular, moving from outside to inside, transitioning from full extension to a 'W' shape.

Crawl Turn Mechanics

Approach: Contact the wall with one hand, perform a quarter turn, and inhale. The propulsion phase follows immediately.

Butterfly Turn Technique

Approach: Contact the wall with two hands, perform a quarter turn, and inhale. The underwater displacement involves a full stroke plus a half-stroke to prepare for the next breath.

Backstroke Fundamentals

Overview:

Written on in with a size of 2.34 KB

Adaptations Produced by Exercise

Adaptations, or supercompensations, represent the changes occurring within the systems of the human body.

Physiological Level

Effects of Resistance Training

  • Increase in size and capacity of the heart.
  • Increased circulation levels.
  • Increase in red blood cells and hemoglobin.
  • Increase in the amount of myoglobin in muscle.
  • Promotes venous return.
  • Increase in the number of mitochondria in muscle.

All these factors increase the capacity for oxygen transport and delivery to the muscles, allowing the individual to fatigue less and recover faster.

  • Decrease in heart rate (HR) at baseline, resting HR, and HR during effort.
  • Increase in inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength.
  • Pulmonary alveoli stretch more, increasing the surrounding
