Core Physical Abilities: Balance, Flexibility, and Agility

Sport and physical education4.83 KB

Importance of Balance in Daily Activities

To move about and perform our daily activities, we require a minimum level of balance; otherwise, we would constantly be falling to the ground. Examples of situations requiring balance include:

  • Walking along the edge of the sidewalk curb (a reduced base of support).
  • Reaching for an item on a high shelf, standing on tiptoe on a chair (elevation of the center of gravity).
  • Entering or leaving a crowded area where people are pushing (external destabilization).

Balance Requirements in Sports

Understanding Human Movement: Active vs. Passive & Coordination

Sport and physical education4.27 KB

Understanding Human Movement

What Distinguishes Active Movement?

Active movements are voluntary actions produced by our internal forces (muscles) acting against an external force. They can be subdivided into:

  • Assisted-resisted movement (with both support and opposition)

Passive Movements

Passive movements are produced by an external force during muscular inactivity. This includes forced movement (something or someone causes the movement) or when voluntarily reducing internal forces to allow movement (movements produced by relaxation, such as when we lie down and relax our legs, and our feet fall out).
