(a)  

Using a joint of your choice, give a description of each of the following movements: Circumduction (Hip), Inversion (Supination) (Wrist), Eversion (Pronation) (Ankle), Plantar Flexion (Ankle), Dorsi Flexion (Ankle), Horizontal Flexion (Shoulder), Horizontal Extension (Shoulder), Adduction (Shoulder/Hip), Abduction (Shoulder/Hip), Rotation (Hip).

Using the following exercises as examples, describe the concentric, isometric and eccentric muscle actions occurring at the specified joints.

Using the following exercises as examples, describe the joint action occurring at this point.

Muscles have different levels of efficiency depending on joint position. Using an exercise of your choice, explain (using diagrams if appropriate) at which point or points the muscle is contracting most efficiently.
