Center of Gravity - the center of a body’s mass. In the human body, it is the point which all
parts are in balance with one another. The COG may be within the body, altered by the position
of the body even to the point of being outside the body (pike position), or altered by the
addiction of load to specific body areas.
Circumduction - a circular movement permitted at ball and socket, condylar and saddle joints.
Consists of flexion, abduction, extension and adduction in sequence.
Circuit Training - a conditioning program consisting of a number of exercises performed at
“stations”. Usually, a given exercise is performed at a station within a specified time; then the
athlete moves to the next station, with its own particular exercise and specified time, then to the
next station, and so on.
Closed Chain Kinetic Exercise - a series of rigid links interconnected by a series of
pincentered joints. These are constructed so that motion at one joint will produce motion at all
the joints in the system. Produces greater mechanical efficiency at the risk of increased joint
loading. Leg press, bench press.
Close-Packed Position - all synovial joints have a position where joint surfaces are maximally
congruent and the ligaments and capsule are maximally taut.
Collagen - a fibrous protein that serves as the major component of ligaments and tendons.
Compression - two forces acting along the same line towards each other that constitute a
compressive load or compressive stress.
Concentric action - contraction of a muscle resulting in shortening of the muscle.
Connective Tissue - comprised of mostly the proteins collagen and elastin with water;
includes tendons, ligaments, bursae, cartilage, disks, menisci, fascia and bone.
Cross-bridge - the connection and intertwining of the actin and myosin filaments in a myofibril
relative to a muscular contraction.
Curvilinear Motion - the frequently occurring combination of rotatory and translatory motions.
Distraction - two forces acting along the same line and in opposite directions, they constitute
a distractive, tensile load or tensile stress.
Diathrodial Joint - ball and socket joint.
Distal - furthest from the attached end of the limb; away from the body.
Dorsal - pertaining to the back; opposite of ventral, palmar or plantar.
Dorsiflexioni - movement of the foot up in the sagitial plane; movement toward the leg.
Eccentric - muscle action in which tension is developed in the muscle while it is lengthening.
Negative work is performed.
