Value of Activities for SEHS Classroom:
These activities provide SEHS students with a comprehensive understanding of human movement, muscle function, and biomechanics. Through hands-on experiments, students will gain practical insights into how anatomical structures and physiological processes support athletic performance and injury prevention.
List of Activities and Summations:
- Anatomical Position and Movements:
Explores the anatomical position and demonstrates various movements in different planes and axes of the human body.
- Muscular Function and Types of Contractions:
Examines different types of muscle contractions (isometric, concentric, eccentric) and their roles in movement and stability.
- Structure and Function of Connective Tissues and Joints:
Investigates how different connective tissues and joint structures contribute to movement and support.
- Levers in Movement and Sport:
Analyzes the three classes of levers in the human body and their impact on mechanical advantage in sports.
- The Sliding Filament Theory:
Explains muscle contraction at the molecular level, focusing on the interaction between actin and myosin filaments.
