Acceleration In The First Three Phases Of Linear Kinematics
Linear Kinematics. Fielding a backhand requires acceleration and deceleration. The fielder must accelerate towards the ball and decelerate when approaching the ball to field it. Acceleration occurs in the first three phases of the backhand and deceleration occurs in the critical phase, drive phase, when the fielder picks up the ball with their glove. Acceleration helps the athlete gain distance between the fielding positon and the ball. This allows the fielder to get their glove in front of the ball and field the ball quickly. Rotary or Angular Kinematics. A significant amount of force is placed on the right, non-glove side, knee during the drive step. This is classified as torque on the knee because of the amount of force being placed

    Achievement standard 90963 P.E

    The hip joint is a ball and socket joint which means it is freely moving and movement can occur in all directions. This hip joint connects the leg to the main torso and is the joint that allows the entire leg to be moved. In this case the femur, tibia and other bones in the leg and foot are being lifted behind the body in preparation for the kick. The agonist muscles, which are the gluteus maximus and hamstring, contract to perform hip extension moving the leg behind the body. While this movement is accomplished the antagonist muscles, which are the illiopsoas and quadriceps relax. Once the leg is at the apex of its backwards swing the gluteus maximus and hamstring relax, and the antagonist muscles for the backwards swing become the agonists. The illiopsoas and quadriceps then contract quickly to bring the leg forward in a swift motion. This movement is the execution phase of kicking a football. Hip flexion continues after the ball has been kicked in the follow through phase. The leg continues its swing and rises in the air after connecting with the ball. Once the leg reaches the apex of its anterior swing hip extends open so that the weight of the step may be placed on it. This phase is important as it is when the muscles and joints slow down and come to a stop. Without this phase the joints and muscles would come to a jarring stop and they could be damaged. The hips ball and socket joint is very important when playing…

    Medicine Ball Throw

    The action all starts in the torso of the body, the abdomen area. The torso will mostly be neutral during the activity used mostly for static strength. You will experience some flexion within the rectus abdominis and the external oblique. If you rock back to gain momentum for the throw you will feel a greater amount of flexion in these areas. Your shoulders and back will then begin firing to create the force to throw the ball. Your latissimus dorsi will contact along with your deltoid and trapezius. This will create the lateral abduction of the shoulder. Another muscle you might think of as working here is the pectoralis major. This muscle has a lot to do with pussing things away from your body. Next your elbows will want to go from flexion to extension. This will happen in a very fast snapping motion where the triceps brachii flex and the biceps brachii now extend. As you throw the ball your wrist will naturally go from radial deviation to ulnar deviation, your hand will go from pronation to supination and you hands will also go from small flexion the large flexion. To perform these actions most all the muscles in the forearm, wrist, and hand perform some kind of flexion. If I write all this down we will be here all day. Some of the main muscles are the flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi ulnaris, opponens pollicis,…

    ACL Injury Analysis

    The main mechanism of an ACL injury is that the loads applied to the ligament are greater than its ability to sustain the load. Increasing knee flexion has been found to reduce this load experienced by the ligament however, there is no single muscle crossing the knee that is capable of simultaneously supporting the knee from externally applied flexion, valgus, and internal rotation knee movements (Donnelly et al., 2012). These movements, which are the main movements that result in an injury to the ACL, can be seen during sidestepping and single leg landing with the knee near full extension. It is hypothesized that inappropriate postural adjustments are responsible for the increase in joint load when there is little time to prepare for the task (unanticipated) (Besier et al., 2001).…

    The Physics of Softball

    Throwing: When throwing, there is a given and constant force exerted by the player onto the ball. To get a stronger and faster throw, we want the greatest change in momentum. A longer time in contact with the ball will give us a large change in momentum, also known as impulse. This idea explains the reason why us softball players are taught to reach our arms all the way back and follow through.…

    Movement Analysis of a Volleyball Block

    Starting in athletic position, or the ‘start phase’, ankles are slightly dorsiflexed, knees flexed slightly, hips are flexed, and both the lumbar and cervical spine are extended. Shoulders are abducted at a ninety degree angle, and the shoulder girdle has slight upward rotation; the radioulnar joint is pronated, while the wrist and fingers are extended. All motions in the first phase are done bilaterally. While in the first phase, the great toe and lesser toes are both in the flexed position. The flexor hallucis longus is isometrically contracting the great toe while the flexor digitorium longus isometrically contracts the lesser toes. The muscles performing dorsiflexion in the ankle are the antagonist muscles including the gastrocnemius and soleus. This is an isometric movement in the sagittal plane. (Floyd 303) The knee is slightly flexed at about a thirty degree angle. The primary muscles used for this movement are the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedius. This constant movement is also an isometric contraction performed by the antagonist muscle group in the sagittal plane. (Floyd 278) The hip is flexed and the biceps femoris, semitendinosis, semimembranosis, and the gluteus maximus isometrically contracting. Both, the lumbar and cervical spine are held in anatomical position mainly by the erector spinae. (Prentice 734) The shoulder is…
