Discuss why knowledge of the eccentric phase is important.

Within your movement analysis chart (please use attached templates), you will include the origin, insertion, action (that the muscle is completing for this particular movement; not all of the muscle’s actions), the plane of motion, and how (concentric, eccentric, or isometric) the muscle is acting during that particular action for the musculature involved organized by joint. All lower extremity joints involved in your lower body movement should be included in this chart.

Associated Write-Up:
i. Discuss why knowledge of the eccentric phase is important.
ii. Identify common compensations that may be seen while completing this movement
iii. Identify potential overactive/underactive muscles that may be associated with these compensations.

Use the 4 phases below to complete the analysis of the lower body Instep Kick.
The analysis focus is on primary muscles of the dominant leg movements for each joint in the lower-limb and trunk.
Chapter 12 in the Floyd text discusses analysis of movements and the breakdown of phases for various exercises and sport skills.
Include a separate chart for each of the 4 Phases of the Instep Kick:
Approach
Preparatory phase or backswing
Movement phase or leg acceleration
Follow-through phase
