What term represents the transfer of energy across joints to support voluntary movement? - ANSWER kinetic chain Kinetic chain refers to the concept that energy transfers across joints to support voluntary actions. This is applicable during general movements such as running on a treadmill, where any energy that is not harnessed will be lost as heat and fail to contribute toward accomplishing the task. Successful energy transfer will result in a more stable and efficient environment, which is n...

no joint movement The glenohumeral joint should experience no movement during arm exercises. Since the elbow is a hinge joint any shoulder movement would negate the focus from the triceps musculature. A common fault during triceps exercises is to combine elbow extension with shoulder extension. Many exercisers "cheat" using the lats to assist with momentum forces; seen when the humerus (upper arms) deviates backward and forward across the midaxillary line during the eccentric and concent...
