There are three types of joints: synarthrotic, amphiarthrodial, and synovial. Identify and describe different exercises or activities that involve using each of these joints. Try to use examples that include more than one type of joint.

  • Which bones and joints are primarily involved in each activity? Describe the type of joint(s) and their action(s).
  • What types of joint movements are performed in each activity?
  • Do you have any difficulty in performing the exercise or activity? How would you describe the problem, or lack thereof, in terms of joint health?
