Sequentially arrange the steps of qualitative analysis (Anatomical)

A. Divide the activity with temporal phases

B. Identify any extremes in joint ranges of motion

C. Identify the joints involved and the movements occurring at those joints

D. Determine the type of muscular contraction and identify the predominant active muscle group of each joint

E. Identify instances when rapid joint angular acceleration occurs and where impacts occur

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is A, C, D, E, and B.

Key Points

Qualitative analysis: 

• It is the determination of non-numeric information about anything.
• It can be observed by experts.
• Subjective analysis can be done.
• The purpose of a qualitative anatomical analysis is
  • to determine the predominant muscular activity during specific phases of a performance.
  • to identify instants when large stresses may occur due to large muscle forces or extremes in joint ranges of motion.
• The analysis of the elite performance identifies which muscles are involved in performance of the most effective technique, whereas the analysis of the student identifies the muscles used in performing the specific technique.
• In either case, the methods used to identify the muscles involved are the same.

The correct sequence of doing qualitative analysis:​

• Divide the activity into temporal phases.
• Identify the joints involved and the movements occurring at those joints.
• Determine the type of muscular contraction and identify the predominant active muscle group of each joint.
• Identify instances when rapid joint angular acceleration occurs and where impacts occur.
• Identify any extremes in joint ranges of motion.

Additional InformationThe results of a qualitative anatomical analysis can then be used to determine appropriate strength or flexibility exercises for the muscle groups identified.
