- W2485204954 abstract "This chapter focuses on the functions and processes involved in movement, posture, and exercise. Movement in a man is a function of the locomotor system, which consists of a skeleton clothed by muscle under voluntary control. The degree and form of the movement produced depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are the nature of the joint where movement occurs, the type of lever system in operation, the angle and force of muscular contraction, and the nature of the resistance offered. The chapter describes the significance of levers in the body and the control of voluntary movement. The control of voluntary movement is a function of the brain. The motor cortex is the primary source of nervous impulses to muscles. The muscles that govern posture normally possess a high degree of tone, but the loss of tone result in postural defects. Good posture is found in the adoption of positions, which allow the body to be used efficiently and with the minimum of strain. The chapter discusses the effects of exercise on human body. The general effect of exercise on the body is that exercises stimulate the functioning of the vital processes. The organs of the body consequently improve in efficiency and in their ability to withstand unexpected demands. Schoolchildren and adults alike stand only to benefit from regular exercise in fresh air and sunlight." @default.
