AB These  exercises  and  techniques,  intended  as  laboratory  material  for  the  student,  are  presented  for  analysis  (major  joint  and  muscle  action)  of  movements.  Many  are  commonly  used  to  develop  strength,  increase  flexibility,  and  improve  posture.  In  most  instances  they  are  organized  according  to  the  major  body  segments  (the  upper  and  lower  extremities  and  the  trunk–head–neck).  Many  of  the  exercises  are  illustrated  by  three  views:  (1)  the  starting  position,  (2)  the  movement,  and  (3)  the  return  to  the  starting  position.  The  various  exercises  were  selected  on  the  basis  of  their  use  in  (1)  physical  fitness  and  posture  programs,  (2)  conditioning  programs  for  improving  athletic  performance,  and  (3)  tests  for  assessing  strength  and  muscular  endurance.  The  sports  and  gymnastics  techniques  are  representative  of  movements  involving  the  imparting  of  motion  to  one's  own  body  and  to  external  objects.  The  exercises  are  organized  in  the  following  series:
