Which term is NOT listed as a movement qualification?

• A. Mechanics
• B. Style
• C. Technique
• D. Form

Answer: (B)

In evaluating movement quality, you judge safety and effectiveness using established criteria: mechanics, technique, and form. Mechanics covers the safe, structural aspects—alignment, joint angles, base of support, and the full range of motion. Technique is about the efficient motor pattern within those mechanics—how you brace, breathe, and sequence the movement. Form refers to consistent, controlled execution and posture throughout the lift or movement.

Style is not a criterion used to judge movement quality. It refers to personal flair or how someone might perform a movement with their own touch, which doesn’t indicate safety or efficiency. That’s why style isn’t listed as a movement qualification. The other terms describe objective aspects you assess to ensure movements are performed correctly.
