Analyse the joint movements involved in these two sports actions.
Specimen paper 2000
Explain the differences in flexibility between the shoulder joint and the hip joint in terms of….
(i) the structure of the joint;(ii) the difference between swimmers and
gymnasts.[4 marks]
Ball and socket jointsUse your understanding of the structure of the
shoulder and hip joints to explain which allows the greatest range of movement
The hip joint
Shoulder Joint
• The socket on the scapula (glenoid fossa) is small and shallow making the joint less stable
• The joint capsule is very loose (allowing seperation between the two bones) allowing more movement
• The head of the humerus is rounded but not as ball-like as the head of the femur, therefore it does not sit as deeply into the glenoid fossa
• The shoulder joint is stabilised by the rotator cuff muscles but these are not as strong as the muscles surrounding the hip.
• It is relatively easy to dislocate a shoulder
Hip joint
• The socket on the pelvis (acetabulum) is deep and cup-like in shape making the joint more stable
• A rim of fibrocartilage adds depth to the acetabulum, adding to stability
• The head of the femur is very spherical and fits snugly into the acetabulum
• The joint is supported by 5 strong ligaments
• The hip joint is surrounded by large muscle groups that aid stability, e.g. Gluteus maximus
• It is relatively difficult to dislocate the hip

(i) the structure of the joint;(ii) the difference between swimmers
and gymnasts.

(b) 1 mark for each of• The glenoid fossa at the shoulder joint is very shallow and allows
more movement than the hip• The acetabelum on the hip joint is quite deep giving more
stability and less movement.• The muscles and connective tissue surrounding the shoulder
joint are less restrictive than the hip as stability is not essential• Any relevant comment regarding the difference in technique for
swimmers or gymnasts• Any relevant comment concerning training for swimmers or
gymnasts

Identify two structures of a synovial joint and describe the role of one of these structures during physical performance
(3 marks)
Identify two structures of a synovial joint and describe the role of one of these structures during physical performance (3 marks)
Structure Role
Ligaments Hold joint in place/join bone to bone
Articular cartilage Prevents wear and tear/friction/ absorb compression
Muscles/tendon Provide strength or support/allow greater range of movement
Synovial fluid Lubricates/nourishes cartilage/rids joint of waste debris
Pads of fat Absorbs shock/protect from wear and tear
Bursae Helps reduce friction
Joint capsule Stabilise joint
Synovial membrane Secretes synovial fluid
Menisci Improves fit of the joint

Learning objectivesTo know and understand:• The name and location of the major muscles that cause
movement at the major joints • The movement caused by these muscles at the joints• The 3 types of muscular contraction
To be able to:• Identify the location of the major muscles of the body• Identify the origin and insertion of each muscle• Explain the function of the agonist, antagonist and fixator
muscles• Explain the 3 different types of muscular contraction
Key terms
AGONIST MUSCLE
ANTAGONIST MUSCLE
FIXATOR MUSCLE
The muscle that is directly responsible for the movement at the joint.Shortens and pulls on the bone to cause movement
The muscle that has an action opposite to that of the agonist and helps in the production of co-ordinated movement
Stabilises one part of the body, allowing movement to occur in anotherPrevents any unnecessary movement
Antagonistic Pairs
During elbow flexion...... During elbow extension......
Agonist = Agonist =
Antagonist = Antagonist =
Biceps brachii
Triceps brachii
Triceps brachii
Biceps brachii
Key terms
ORIGIN
INSERTION
The point of attachment of a muscle to a bone, where the bone is stationary during muscular contraction
The point of attachment of a muscle to bone, where the bone moves during muscular contraction
For each of the following muscle identify the approximate positions of the (a) origin, (b) insertion

Task
Complete the movement analysis table to show the agonist and antagonist for each of the movement of each joint
Muscles for Support• The function of some
muscle is to provided support and stability rather than movement
• E.g. The multifidus and transverse abdominis are responsible for maintaining posture and core stability, which are important for many sports
Muscles for supportE.g. The Rotator Cuff muscles
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Subscapularis
Teres Minor• The glenoid fossa of the
scapula is relatively shallow therefore there is a higher risk of dislocation
• The rotator cuff muscles have their origin at the scapula and their insertion on the head of the humerus
• Increase the stability of the shoulder joint.
The role of muscular contraction
Electrical stimulus
Muscular contraction (tension) occurs as a result of an electrical stimulus being sent
from the brain through the nervous system to a specific muscle (agonist)
Spot the difference!
1) Holding a heavy bag
2) Bicep curl – upwards phase
3) Bicep curl – downward phase
3 types of muscular contraction
ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION
Tension develops in muscle but no movement occurs at the
joint
ISOTONIC CONTRACTION
Tension develops in muscles and movement occurs at joint
MUSCULAR CONTRACTION
Tension develops in a muscle
CONCENTRIC CONTRACTION
Tension develops while muscle
shortens
Causes joint movement
ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION
Tension develops while muscle
lengthens
Controls joint movement
ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION
Stops joint movement
3 types of muscular contractionREMEMBER:
• Muscular contraction does not mean that the muscle is shortening, just that there is tension!
• When muscles contract they may be shortening, lengthening or staying the same length
• Muscular contraction can– Cause joint movement– Control joint movement– Stop joint movement
Isotonic contraction Isometric contraction
• Eccentric contraction in the biceps brachii during the downward phase of exercise
• Biceps brachii produces tension and lengthens
• It slows the lowering of the forearm and controls extension of the elbow
Isotonic contraction
Eccentric
Isometric contractionConcentric
• Concentric contraction in the biceps brachii during the upward phase of exercise
• Biceps brachii produces tension and shortens
• It pulls the forearm upwards to cause flexion of the elbow
• Eccentric contraction in the biceps brachii during the downward phase of exercise
• Biceps brachii produces tension and lengthens
• It slows the lowering of the forearm and controls extension of the elbow
• Isometric contraction occurs in the biceps brachii when the muscle is holding the weight still
• Biceps brachii develops tension and stays the same length
•It stops flexion and extension of the elbow
Agonist - type of contraction?
Rectus abdominus
Sit up (downwards phase) Eccentric
Agonist - type of contraction?Scoring a try Concentric
Agonist - type of contraction?Penalty kick Concentric
Agonist - type of contraction?Weight lifting – hold
positionIsometric
Agonist - type of contraction?IsometricGymnastic rings
Remember• If the examiner asks about an explosive
sporting action or technique, the type of contraction is likely to be concentric
• If the examiner asks about an action that involves working against gravity (decelerating or lowering a body part slowly/working to control movement), the type of contraction is likely to be eccentric
Homework• Find a picture/photograph of a sporting
actions and annotate the picture to showa) The movement occurring at the jointb) The agonist causing the movement
