 Expected Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
- Identify exercises which is related to functional movement;
- Practice functional movement as your daily routine;
- Demonstrate eagerness in performing the functional fitness test.

TOPIC: I
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT AND RELATED MOVEMENTS
FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
According to the Center Works BLOG with Aliesa George Functional Movement is the
ability to move the body with proper muscle and joint function for effortless, pain-free
movement.
Learning how to be bio-mechanically efficient with everything you do, whether it’s for sports and
athletics, general fitness, or daily life activities, is very important for maintaining good health and
avoiding injury. She reiterated that you would think that automatically our bodies would just work
well…but this is generally not the case from birth, we begin to develop dominant and weaker
muscles. Lack of physical activity can increase poor muscle use habits, and any injury or accident can
further limit the body’s ability to develop in a well-balanced manner. The result, we never fully utilize
optimal form or support to train functional movement systems for whole-body health.

DYSFUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
Movement complementary below a standard accepted level Indicates an increased risk of injury
in sports, work or everyday life.
DEFINITION OF MOVEMENT
1. It is the act, process, or result of moving,
2. A particular manner or style of moving,
3. An actions or activities of a person,
4. Motion or movement of the different parts of the body.
ORIGINS OF MOVEMENT (Planes of Movement)

Movements of the human body are often described in terms of the ‘plane’ in which they pass
through. There are three planes of the human body, Sagittal
Frontal Transverse

FRONTAL TRANSVERSE SAGITTAL

Description Description Description

The frontal plane passes through the body from left to right, dividing the body into anterior The transverse plane passes through the body in a line parallel to the floor, dividing the body The sagittal plane passes through the body from front to back, dividing the body into left and
and posterior portions. into top and bottom portions. right portions.
Example Example Example

Side to side movements occur in the frontal plane, such as raising your arms or legs out to Twisting or rotational movements occur in the transverse plane, such as twisting your head Front to back movements occur in the sagittal plane, such as walking, pushing, pulling and
the side like in a star jump. from side to side. squatting.
1. SAGITTAL PLANE is the plane where the body is divided into our right side and left side. Flexion and
extension is the most common movement on this plane.
Examples:
Running Walking Jumping

2. FRONTAL PLANE - More complex movements than sagittal where the body is divided into our front and
back. Movement on this plane is abduction and adduction.

Examples:
Shuffling Jumping jack Flat pull down

3. TRANSVERSE PLANE - Most complex type of movements which divide the body in upper and lower part of
our body. Rotational type movements (Internal/External, Right/Left Rotation).

Examples:
back bending side bending

JOINTS and ITS STABILITY AND MOBILITY

Joint is where two bones meet. Joints allow the body to bend and move in many
different ways. There are hundreds of joints in your body. Without them, your skeleton
would be so rigid you would not be able to move at all.It is in the joints within that body
that allows movement to happen.

STABILITY is the quality or state of something that is easily moved.

MOBILITY the ability to move or be moved freely and easily

Joint actions
Knowing how the body moves and the actions that various joints allow is crucial for safe and
effective exercise instruction. Some of the key joint actions that you should know are detailed in the
following tables.
The Joint
 Movement Functions
Flexion:Refers to movement where the angle between two
bones decreases.  Flexion is commonly known as
bending.  

Extension: Refers to movement where the angle between

two bones increases.  Extension is otherwise
known as straightening.  

Horizontal flexion: Refers to movement where the angle between

two bones decreases and on the horizontal plane.

Horizontal extension:  Refers to movement where the angle between

two bones increases and occurs on the
horizontal plane.

Lateral Flexion:Refers to movement of the spine laterally away from

the midline of the body.  This can be seen when we
bend to one side.
 Abduction: Is movement of a body segment away from the
midline of the body?

Adduction: Is movement of a body segment toward the

midline of the body?

Circumduction:This is a movement where the joint is the pivot

and the body segment moves in a combination
of flexion, extension, adduction and abduction

Protraction:   This is forward movement of the scapula

that results in ‘hunching’ of the shoulders.

Retraction: This is backward movement of the scapula as

they pull together to ‘square’ the shoulders and
push the chest out.
  
Elevation:

Refers to the raising of the scapula to a more

superior level (shrugging the shoulders). 

Depression: Refers to the scapula moving to a more

inferior position as they are pulled
downwards.

Supination: Hand – movement so the palm of the hand

faces upward or forward (anteriorly).

Foot – combination of inversion, plantar

flexion and adduction of the foot occurring at
the same time.

Pronation: Hand – movement so the palm of the hand

faces downward or backward (posterior).

Foot – combination of eversion, dorsiflexion

and abduction of the foot occurring at the
same time.

Plantar flexion:  Is moving the top of the foot away from

the shin or ‘pointing’ the toes .
