Functional Anatomy and Movement Analysis

Part 1: Identify and Match

WALT: Identify major muscles and joints, describe their basic functions, and use anatomical language to explain movement.

Success criteria: I can label the diagrams, match structures to functions, and use terms such as flexion and extension accurately.

1. Label the anterior and posterior body diagrams. Use each term from the word bank once where appropriate.

Word bank: pectorals · deltoids · biceps · triceps · abdominals · gluteals · quadriceps · hamstrings · gastrocnemius · shoulder · elbow · wrist · hip · knee · ankle

Posterior view

2. Match each structure to its basic function. Write the correct letter beside each structure.

_____ Pectorals

_____ Biceps

_____ Triceps

_____ Quadriceps

_____ Hamstrings

_____ Gluteals

_____ Elbow joint

_____ Knee joint

_____ Ankle joint

A. Extends the elbow

B. Allows movement between the lower leg and foot

C. Extends the knee

D. Flexes the elbow

E. Produces powerful hip extension

F. Brings the upper arm forwards and towards the body

G. Allows bending and straightening of the arm

H. Flexes the knee and extends the hip

I. Allows bending and straightening of the leg

Support: Work with a partner, rehearse your answer aloud, and use the word bank. Sentence starters: “The _____ muscle contracts to _____.” “The _____ joint allows _____.”

Extension: Where accurate, add agonist, antagonist or stabilisation to one explanation.

Part 2: Movement Analysis

For each movement, identify relevant muscles and joints. Use flexion and extension where they apply. You may perform or safely mime the movement, or observe a partner.

3. Squat: Which two muscles help produce or control the movement? Which two joints change position?

4. Vertical jump: Which muscles help extend the hip, knee or ankle? Describe one joint action.

5. Overarm throw: Which muscles and joints help move the arm? Include one example of flexion, extension or rotation.

6. Push-up: Which muscles work as the elbows bend and straighten? Which joint allows this movement?

7. Lunge: Which muscles help control the hips and knees? Describe one joint action during the movement.

Part 3: Sport Application and Exit Check

8. Identify a sport that uses one of the five movements. Explain how two muscles and two joints contribute to the movement.

Sport: __________________________________________

Sentence starters: “In _____, the _____ muscle contracts to _____.” “The _____ joint moves into _____.”

9. Exit question: Write a supported paragraph explaining how two muscles and two joints work together to create one sporting movement. Use at least two accurate anatomical terms, such as flexion, extension, rotation or stabilisation.

Use this structure: name the movement; identify two muscles; identify two joints; explain the muscle actions and joint movements; link your explanation to performance or safe participation.
