In what order are the various types of skeletal muscle fibers recruited when you sprint to make it to the bus stop?

Part 1: Body Movements
Watch the video below about the different terms given for various movements of the body and take notes. Then, match the term with the proper description below. (Note that two of the terms below are not in the video. Match all of the ones in the video, then think about what the other two might mean!)

The video is also on eCLASS if you have difficulty playing it on campus.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Extension		Decreasing the angle of a joint
Plantarflexion		Increasing the angle of a joint
Flexion		Decreasing the angle of the ankle joint
Pronation		Increasing the angle of the ankle joint
Dorsiflexion		Rotating the sole of the foot laterally
Rotation		Rotating the sole of the foot medially
Supination		Moving a limb away from the midline of the body
Eversion		Moving a limb towards the midline of the body
Circumduction		Rotating the lower arm so the palm is facing down
Inversion		Rotating the lower arm so the palm is facing up
Abduction		Increasing the angle of a joint beyond its normal range of motion
Hyperextension		A combination of flexion, adduction, extension, and abduction that results in a cone-like tracing of a limb or digit
Adduction		Twisting, circular movement
