4) brachialis
5) brachioradialis

A) 1, 3

C) 1, 4, 5
D) 3, 4, 5

Answer 1

2, 4, 5

Question 2

Why lift a heavy weight by flexing and then extending the knees rather than flexing at the hips and then lifting the trunk?

A) longer lever
B) less force available
C) shorter resistance arm
D) smaller angle of pull

Answer 2

shorter resistance arm

2) use the smallest segments
3) move through a large range of motion
4) move the segments in an ordered sequence, one after the other

A) 1, 2, 3
B) 1, 3, 4
C) 1, 3
D) 2, 4

Answer 3

1, 3

Question 4

D) brachialis

Question 5

Which of the following motions should be avoided in working with long handled implements?

A) lifting
B) pulling
C) pushing
D) twisting
Short Answer Questions

Question 6

Why is it advisable to use the smallest number of segments possible when using a push-pull pattern for accuracy?

Question 7

Which is an example of the continuous application of a simultaneous pattern?

A) a volleyball set
B) landing from a jump
C) pushing a lawn mower
D) putting a shot

Question 8

Which would be the most efficient manner in which to lift a heavy box?

A) grasp box at arms length
B) face box with elbows bent and arms close to body
C) turn side to box and lift with one arm
D) place one hand under box and one hand on top at arms length

Question 9

Discuss the way in which simultaneous movement patterns are coordinated in order to produce a rectilinear path at the distal end point.

Question 10

Why is it more difficult to shoot a free throw from a seated position than from a stand?

Question 11

Which pattern of joint motion most clearly typifies push-pull patterns?

A) flexion-extension
B) abduction-adduction
C) inward-outward rotation
D) a series of rotations

Question 12

Why should the arm motion in the shot put be simultaneous rather than sequential in nature?

Question 13

Why is it often easier to stand from a seated position if the feet are brought as close to the chair as possible?

Question 14

Which of the following is not true when attempting to produce a motion for maximum accuracy?

A) use the fewest number of segments
B) use the smallest segments possible
C) use maximum possible contact time
D) use the highest possible velocity

Question 15

Which of the following will not act to increase the force available in a pushing or pulling motion?

A) applying all forces in sequence
B) applying all forces along the line of action
C) involving the lower extremity
D) using the body weight when possible
