Pronation is a natural movement of the foot that occurs during foot landing while running or walking. Composed of three cardinal plane components: subtalar eversion, ankle dorsiflexion, and forefoot abduction, [1] [2] these three distinct motions of the foot occur simultaneously during the pronation phase. [3]
Inversion and eversion are movements that tilt the sole of the foot away from (eversion) or towards (inversion) the midline of the body. [35] Eversion is the movement of the sole of the foot away from the median plane. [36] Inversion is the movement of the sole towards the median plane. For example, inversion describes the motion when an ankle ...
Pronation of the foot is a compound movement that combines abduction, eversion, and dorsiflexion. Regarding posture, a pronated foot is one in which the heel bone angles inward and the arch tends to collapse. Pronation is the motion of the inner and outer ball of the foot with the heel bone. [13]
Functional fitness is the concept of designing our workouts around exercises that mimic everyday movements — and engaging multiple muscle groups at once.
This exercise targets the hamstrings, glutes, and quadriceps, making it a great full-body movement. This movement also requires good balance and stability, so core strength is also an important aspect. Equipment required Bench, dumbbell or body weight. Variations
Physical activity is defined as any voluntary bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. [1] Physical activity encompasses all activities, at any intensity, performed during any time of day or night. [2] It includes both voluntary exercise and incidental activity integrated into the daily routine. [3]
Aerobic dances are musical fitness routines in which an instructor choreographs several short dance combinations and teaches them to a class. This is usually achieved by teaching the class one to two movements at a time and repeating the movements until the class is able to join the whole choreography together.
Circuit training is a form of body conditioning that involves endurance training, resistance training, high-intensity aerobics, and exercises performed in a circuit, similar to high-intensity interval training. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all set exercises in the program.
