Wrist
The wrist joint is a condyloid articulation, and more generally a synovial joint, and is very important in the game of golf.  This means it is bathed in synovial fluid, allowing a great deal of mobility.  At the beginning of the stroke, the wrists are pointed downwards slightly.  They will be flexed upwards by the top of the backstroke, bent down again at contact, then up again at the top of the follow-through.  
 
Elbow
The elbow is a hinge joint, so although it cannot move side to side, its stability is key to golf.  The left elbow will be bent throughout the stroke.  It will conform to the movements of the right elbow, and may be slightly more bent or straighter at different times.  The right elbow, however, will be kept straight throughout the golf wing, until the follow-through, when it will bend as the club turns around the body.
 
Shoulder
The shoulder, or glenohumeral joint, is a synovial joint, and more specifically a ball and socket joint.  Both shoulders twist to left and up during the backswing, then right and down during the downswing.  The shoulders finish off the follow-through by turning up and to the right.]]> 2016-04-18 18:13:57 UTC https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106381210 Amy https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106383090 swimming front crawl

hips: in an attempt to hit the ball far off the tee the hips are a main aspect,the hips will rotate slowly during the backswing before acceleration to fast speeds in the downswing and through the ball, (Rory Mcilroy hip rotation speed =700+degrees per second)

shoulders:shoulder rotation is another key aspect of hitting driver to get a full turn in shoulders and hips is very important,the shoulder joint rotates,(Rory Mcilroy shoulder rotation=1400degrees per second)

elbows: in the golf swing for a right handed player the left elbow will stay straight as the right arm folds in on the hinge joint

wrists:both wrists in the golf swing are very active as to extend through the ball the wrists must get the club back in the correct position the wrist slides up during the backswing and forward in the downswing to create as much speed as possible

Hip joint (ball and socket) - Hips rise slowly, rotating to a position above the shoulders

Knee joint (hinge) - Front leg knee angle approx. 90 degrees
back leg knee angle approx. 120 degrees. Back leg extends to straighten but not in a locked position

Ankle joint (hinge) - Feet pushed hard back into the blocks

Shoulder (ball and socket) - at a 90 degree angle. Arms are vertical, leaning forward would take the weight off of the feet allowing less explosive power out of the blocks. Shoulders back and vertically above or slightly forward of the hands

Elbow (hinge) -Arms straight but not locked at the elbows

Neck (pivot) - Head and neck in line with the spine



“gun sound” Phase

Hip joint (ball and socket), knee joint (hinge), Ankle joint (hinge) -  explosively extend the hip, knee and ankle joints propelling your body forward. Hips rotate to straighten the upper body, into a straight line from head to your back foot.

elbow (hinge joint) - the elbow bends to a 90 degree angle and stays in the that position for the duration of the sprint ( stays locked and rotation occurs at shoulder). In the first stride my right arm fully extends, straightening ,is rotated by the shoulder and then moves to the 90 degree angle.

To take a free kick we use joints and muscles from our head to our toes. 

As we drop the ball we use the joints in our shoulders, elbows, wrist and fingers.

SHOULDERS- The ball and socket joint of the shoulders rotate backwards.

ELBOWS- the hinge joint of the elbows straighten

WRIST AND HAND- The wrist is a gliding joint and the joints in the fingers are conyloid.  The wrist bends up and the fingers cup around the ball.

During the above movement we use biceps and triceps muscles.  The biceps relax and the triceps contract.

 The main kicking action involves the joints of the lower body- Hips, Knees, ankle and foot.

HIP- The hip flexors swing forward, this is the largest joint action while kicking a ball.  The ball and socket joint of the hip rotates back and forward as we step into the free kick.

KNEE- The knee joint is a hinge joint, it bends and straightens and then extends as we kick.

ANKLE- The ankle joint is also a hinge joint, the joint flexes but stays rigid so we keep power behind the kick.

FOOT- The foot joint is made up of the tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges, these are the joints that make contact with the ball as we kick.

The lower leg muscles that we use are the calf muscles which contract to allow the ankle to extend (plantar flexion), the musles at the front of tibia that contract to keep ankle rigid, the thigh muscles(quadriceps) that contact to straighten knees the hip flexors and the hamstrings that relaxes.

In addition to the obvious leg muscle we also use the abdominal, back and gluteal muscles for stability and the pivot joints of the neck to help focus on the ball.

Knee- Hinge joint, knee moves over and back to kick and snap back.

Hip- Ball and socket, hip turns to kick round and fully rotates to kick to the side.

Ankle- Hinge joint, used to straighten your ankle so that you don't break it and kick effectivly.

Quadricep-The quadricep contacts when the leg staightens to kick and relaxes when you pull it back from the kick.

Hamstring-The hamstring contracts when you pull your leg back from the kick and the hamstring relaxes when you straighten your leg to kick at first.]]> 2016-04-18 21:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106419503 Sean https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106421773 Football- Freekick
Legs
when running up to the ball, we use our knee joints which are hinge joints. This means that they only move either forwards or backwards.

We also use our ankle joints which are also hinge joints, to strike the ball cleanly and to position your foot correctly.

When running up to strike the ball, we need to position our bodies correctly if we want to get a clean strike of the ball, so we adjust our body using our hip joint which is a ball and socket joint and can move in full rotations.

We use our arms to generate power running up to the ball. We use our elbow joint(hinge) and our shoulder joint(ball and socket) to bend our arms and swing them backwards and forwards to generate more speed and power in our build up to the strike.]]> 2016-04-18 22:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106421773 Caoimhin https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106422190 2016-04-18 22:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106422190 Caoimhin https://padlet.com/amcatamney911/sbui6lqw4hdd/wish/106422327 Soccer-free kick
