Discussion Post: Break down a movement is the first step in analyzing a skill
Being able to break down a movement is the first step in analyzing a skill. Initially we must look at each joint and determine what movement is taking place.
Using approximately 400-500 words, choose a sports skill you wish to analyze (note this will be the same sports skill used in a future assignment). Some examples include a free throw shot, softball pitch, soccer kick, baseball swing, etc.
• Discuss what movements occur at the ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist.
• Compare the movements bilaterally, or both sides.
• In which planes do these movements occur?
• What axis of rotation occurs at each joint? Include at least two scholarly references to guide your answers.
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
