Balance
Signals upon which balance is dependent:• Semi-circular canals of inner ear• Kinesthetic sensors in muscles, tendons
and joints• Visual perception• Co-ordination of the above stimuli
(spastic lock coordination)

Golgi Tendon Organs
• Embedded in the tendons, close to the muscle insertions. • Detect tension in the tendon of a contracting muscle.
Muscle Spindles
Image courtesy of Neuromechanics / Wikimedia Commonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Muscle_spindle_model.jpg
• Located muscle between muscle fibres. • Provide information on muscle length, tension, and load• Highest density in small muscles designed for fine motor
control
Muscle Spindles
Image courtesy of Neuromechanics / Wikimedia Commonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Muscle_spindle_model.jpg
• Function is to resist stretch by stimulating contraction• Also send inhibition signal to opposing muscle group• After stroke or spinal cord injury the spindles may be
oversensitive and cause muscle stiffness
Joint Kinesthetic Receptors
• Located in the connective tissue of a joint capsule. • Signal the extremes of joint range
• Respond to mechanical deformation occurring in the joint capsule and ligaments during dynamic movement. • Respond more to passive than active movement

Elderly-Loss of Balance & Aging
• Balance deteriorates progressively with aging
• 1/3 of persons over age 70 fall each year & the incidence is 1 ½ - 2 x higher in females than males
• Due to the concurrent loss of bone mineral density, the incidence of fractures is high
• 90% of hip fractures are due to falls

Elderly-Loss of Balance & Aging
• Older adults have lower strength a lower rate ofstrength development (power) than younger adults(males > females)
• Major difference between individuals and those whofall or who do not is not reaction time- it is the rate ofstrength development (power)
• Older adults who engage in strength &power training maintain or improve theirpower and balance which leads to reducedfalls and longer independent functioning
Flexibility
Definition: – Range of movement about a joint or joints.
Considerations:– Not a general characteristic (site specific)– Static (range of motion)– Dynamic (stiffness or looseness reflected
in speed of movement or power)
Importance: – Avoiding injuries– Enable proper form in certain sports– Power development (Plyometric)– Muscle relaxation
Limitations of Flexibility1. Mechanical factors: bone structure and muscle bulk2. Soft tissue crossing a joint (NB for sports)3. Injuries and disease - reduced tissue elasticity4. Inactivity5. Age: 6 – 18 increase
18 – 28 plateau28 - 35 slight decline35 on more rapid decline
6. Temperature (achieved passively or actively):- warming a joint to 113 ºF increases flexibility by 20 %- cooling a joint to 65°F decreases flexibility by 10-20%
7. No difference between males and females when largenumber of articulations are considered
8. Why is only one measure of flexibility included in health relatedfitness assessments?
Measurement of Flexibility
1. Goniometry• Modified protractor• Overhead- projected goniometer• Electrogoniometer- (developed for
horses to train stride length)2. Performance measures
• Criticism; body proportions• How to avoid?
3. Flexometer (Leighton)• Usually only used for research
Important of Flexibility
How:
Types of Stretching
1. Slow, static, passive2. Active, dynamic, bouncing, ballistic3. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation
(PNF). Maximal isometric contraction of the muscle being stretched relaxes the antagonistic muscle.
Image courtesy of -Marcus-/ FreeDigitalPhotos.net
• PNF is superior to static and ballistic in increasing flexibility. However, these exercises are complicated and often require a trainedpartner
• Static stretches are an effective compromise. Ballistic stretches aregenerally not recommended.
Image courtesy of Neuromechanics / Wikimedia Commonshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_tendon_organ
Golgi Tendon Organs
• Activation causes inhibition of contracting muscle (relaxation)
Importance of Flexibility
Considerations1. Too much flexibility could reduce the stability of a joint
and increase the susceptibility to injury.2. Hold passive stretches for 10 to 30 sec3. Daily4. Develop strength about the joint at the same time.5. The optimum flexibility of a joint for a specific sport
may mean decreasing its flexibility.6. Optimal flexibility for normal living?
Sit-and-reach flexibility & Risk of Lower Body Musculoskeletal Injuries
Table 18 from David Cowan et al., The Epidemiology of Physical Training Injuries in U.S. Army Infantry Trainees: Methodology, Population, and Risk Factors. Defence Technical Information Center Nov. 1988. http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA206551
Stretching and Injuries
• Inconclusive• Most studies in jogging say ‘no’• Studies in football or handball say ‘yes’• Likely speaks to differences between
sports and the importance of flexibility in preventing injuries.
Stretching and Performance
• Static stretching may be negative for strength
• Static stretching may be negative for sprinting and jumping
• Dynamic stretching does not appear to change sprint or jumping performance
• More negative effect in lower body as compared to upper body
Low Back Pain
• ~39% of individuals will experience low back pain at some time in their lives
• Costs $50 billion per year in the US• Low back pain is the single leading cause
of disability worldwide (Global Burden of Disease 2010).

Causes of Back Pain
1. Herniated, ruptured or bulging disc (“slipped” disc)
2. Degenerative changes: wear and tear arthritis (rheumatoid
osteoarthritis) inflammatory
3. Vertebral misalignments; pinched nerve
4. Osteoporosis; deterioration of bone density leading to vertebral
fractures or collapse
5. Tension and emotional problems
6. Poor posture, lack of exercise or overeating
7. Back sprains; overuse, twisting bad lifting habits
Proper Posture – Neutral Spine
Spine load from Matt Wallden, The neutral spine principle, Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies Oct. 2009, 13(4), pp. 350-361http://ezproxy.library.yorku.ca/login?url=http://resolver.scholarsportal.info/resolve/13608592/v13i0004/350_tnsp.xml
Neutral Spine Lordosis
Hypolordosis
Muscle and other soft tissues help to absorb
forces on body
Force on spine from walking impact per
day:
700, 000 to 2,100,000 kg
Herniated Disc

Spinal Disc Herniation
- Disc herniation can result in no symptoms to debilitating pain
- Can be corrected by surgery

Osteoporosis
Image Courtesy of Anatomy & Physiology, Connexions Web site. http://cnx.org/content/col11496/1.6/, Jun 19, 2013. Osteoporosis is an age-related disorder that causes the gradual loss of bone density and strength. When the thoracic vertebrae are affected, there can be a gradual collapse of the vertebrae. This results in kyphosis, an excessive curvature of the thoracic region. Assessed on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoporosis

Lower Back Pain & Smoking
• Greater prevalence of LBP in smokers• Perhaps a marker for other behaviours???
– Smokers are less active– Related to anxiety & depression– Chronic coughing disc pressure
• Possibly hormonal changes leading to a decreased bone mineral density

Preventive Measures For a Healthy Back
1. Proper posture; 2. Avoid frequent bending, twisting and
excessive sitting3. Flexibility of hamstrings and low back4. Proper lifting and carrying techniques5. Proper sleeping posture6. Maintain healthy body weight
Speed
The ability to perform a movement in a short period of timeComponents:
Movement Time- the rate at which a person can propel his body or parts of his body through space.Reaction Time- the interval of time between the presentation of the stimulus and the initiation of the response.

Reaction and Movement Time
3. Nelson Reaction Timer; Research Findings:a. Low correlation between RT and MTb. Speed improves from childhood to early adulthood, peaks for a
decade then declinesc. RT and MT of college males are 14% and 30% respectively
greater than that of females and peak MT and RT is maintained longer by males
d. RT is highest in the morning hours and drops off later in the day .e. A small amount of consumed alcohol slightly improves the
reactions of some individuals, but large amounts impair themf. Athletes have faster RT and MT's than non-athletesg. Speed of movement is very specific--an individual with fast arm
movement may well have slow leg movementh. Strength training does not result in slower MTi. MT and RT can be improved with training
Nelson Reaction Timer
• Based on the law of constant acceleration of free falling bodies.
• The timer is scaled in time as computed from the following formula:
Time = 2 x Distance the stick fallsAcceleration due to gravity
Agility
Definition: the rapidity and ease with which an individual can change the direction of movement of the body or its parts
• Compound motor fitness factor involving speed, coordination and balance
Agility
Measurement:a. Running tests- shuttle run, zig zag runb. Non running tests- 4 and 6 count burpeec. Criticisms: shoes, floor, person’s height
Pro-agility20 m Shuttle Run

Agility
Findings:
a. Males are more agile than femalesb. Agility in males increases to maturity then plateaus
For approximately 10 years before declining. However, females stop improving shortly after puberty and begin to decline earlier than males
c. Athletes perform well on agility testsd. Performance on agility tests has been observed to
improve with practice.
