AQA GCSE · Question 09.1 · The Human Body and Movement in Physical Activity and Sport

Figure 1 shows an athlete in two different positions (A and B) as he performs a bicep curl.

Identify the joint action taking place at the elbow as the arm moves from A to B.

How to approach this question

Observe the change in the angle at the elbow joint as the athlete moves from position A (arm straight) to position B (arm bent). A decrease in the angle of a joint is known as flexion.

Full Answer

In position A, the athlete's arm is extended at the elbow. In position B, the athlete has lifted the dumbbells, causing the angle at the elbow joint to decrease. The movement that decreases the angle of a joint is called flexion.

Common mistakes

Confusing flexion with extension.
