Task 4
Biomechanical Movement Principles
And
Phases in Learning Motor Skills
Part A
1. Explain in your own words what Biomechanics is and how a good understanding of biomechanics can benefit an athlete?
Biomechanics is a branch of sport science, through the understanding of the internal and external forces which act on an athlete effecting their performance. For an athlete learning the functional anatomy and mechanics of movement will help the athlete learn the skill, develop the skill, and to help the athlete be able to correct any errors that may need to fixed. for example:
1. Coaches use their understanding of biomechanics to make modifications to the athletes performance based on their skill level and body shape.
2. There are guidelines for buying sports equipment, to suit athletes body size.
3. To reduce the chance of over use and injury through their knowledge of the technique.
2. Discuss Newton's first Law of Motion and then explain using an example from a sport of your choice.
Newton's first Law of Motion states that and object will not move or change shape unless an outside force acts against it.
For example in softball:
1. The bat will not move unless picked up and swung
2. The base will not change shape until stood on or touched
3. The ball will not move until thrown
3. Using Newton's second law, explain the relationship between acceleration, mass and the force.
Newton's second law is the total sum of the mass of the body and it's acceleration.
So if we increase the mass and increase the acceleration then the total amount of force will be increased. So therefore if we decrease the mass and decrease the acceleration then the total force will be decreased.
For example:
1. In softball, if we use a heavier bat then the swing and connection with the ball will increase the speed in which it travels.
2. In bowling, the heavier a bowling ball then the faster it will travel down the ally
