Six Common Joints
A joint is a structure in the animal anatomy that separates two or more subsequent elements of the skeletal system. Joints play a crucial role in enabling the body to move. Joints are classified either by their functions or structure. According to Hartman(2014), “the structural classification of bones is based on whether the anchorage between two bones is by cartilage or fibrous connective tissue, or by the joint cavity.” Fictional classification is on the degree of movement. The following is an analysis of six common joints in anatomy.
The ball and socket joint, pivot joint, hinge joint, ellipsoid joints, gliding joints, and saddle joints allow the bones to move in all the possible directions. The bones perform specific roles to aid movement, and some exercises promote their development. The relay race is one exercising activity that would encourage the movement of more than two joints.
Understanding these joints plays a crucial role in the future of a person. from such knowledge, one can be able to keep the joints healthy, thus increasing flexibility. An example is Acrobat. Knowledge from the joints is essential in enabling a person to maintain healthy joints and, thus, a preventive measure towards arthritis. As a trainer, keeping off arthritis would increase the duration of your career. Learning about joints provides knowledge on the extent and direction in which bones move; thus, one can come up with diverse types of exercises. Through learning the mechanics and dynamics of joints, accidents might be prevented during training, and also one can come up with a treatment plan.
It is essential to understand the functioning and location of the bones since one can develop an advanced and effective workout session. Through learning about these joints, one can successfully create a training session that suits the purpose of exercising. For the future, one can become a certified trainer.
