(Fowards, backwards, left and right) Gliding: Between the tarsals in the ankles. (tiny bit of movement in all directions) |

What are the different types of movement?
|
-Flexion: Bending of a joint. (occurs at the knee as the foot is drawn to kick a ball)
-Extension: Straightening of a limb at a joint. (When shooting a ball, elbow i straightened during release) -Abduction and adduction: Abduction is moving limb towards body. adduction is moving limb away from body. Rotation: Moving the head from side to side. |
