Chapter 3 Quiz

What is the main focus of qualitative movement analysis?

• Collecting numerical data on performance

• Observing and improving movement technique

• Measuring heart rate and force production

• Tracking an athlete’s GPS movements

Which of the following is NOT a key consideration in the preparation stage of qualitative analysis?

• Identifying critical movement features

• Selecting the best observation method

• Providing real-time verbal feedback

• Considering the athlete’s skill level

Which of the following increases stability in an athlete?

• Narrowing their base of support

• Leaning forward while running

• Keeping their arms raised

• Lowering their centre of gravity

Which type of lever is most commonly found in the human body and what is its mechanical advantage ?

• Second Class - More than 1

• Second Class - Less than 1

• Third Class - More than 1

• Third Class - Less than 1

Which of the following statements about third-class levers is correct?

• They allow for greater speed and range of motion

• The resistance is always between the force and the axis

• They are the least common type of lever in the human body

• They provide a mechanical advantage greater than 1

In a third-class lever, what happens when the resistance arm is longer than the force arm?

• The mechanical advantage increases, making movement easier

• Less force is needed to move the resistance

• The movement speed and range of motion increase, but more force is required

• The axis moves closer to the resistance to reduce effort
