Abstract

Human movement is created on the basis of the evolution of species, which in turn resulted in the movement of modern humans. This development followed the right-left waves fuselage and tail fins of fishes about 370 million years ago, when they started to colonize land vertebrates.

Without realizing it, these ancient exercise programs affect our daily lives. How does one own in the environment varies, it was determined millions of years before the emergence of human civilization.

It is therefore logical that over several generations that experienced civilizational change, there can be no change in the basic principles that have shaped human movement. Relatively new recreational and sports activities can time their effects on human motor system far affect its function and structure.

Movement in the environment is a human created through girdle pelvic - walking, running, righting etc. But exceptionally well through the shoulder girdle - tapping his wand at Nordic walking, while cross-country skiing, shot by canoe, kayak and raft support when climbing a ladder or a climbing wall, climbing or getting up from a hospital bed with a handlebar or holding the railing for a tour of historical and natural monuments.

Although both girdle, shoulder and pelvis, part of one organism, have had an entirely different evolution of locomotion (movement in the environment). It is very interesting that our movement through the shoulder girdle has bases in motion a program that is older than two orders of magnitude million years (370 million years) than similar foundations move through the pelvic girdle (7 million years).

And it was the pelvic girdle provides for humans a typical move - perfect efficient, upright, two-legged (bipedal), walking and running. Recent comparative studies show that this is not the most effective form of movement on a hard surface.
