We choose to do a plyometric fitness session for our duathlon training. Plyometric training is a system of exercise in which the muscles are repeatedly stretched and suddenly contracted in explosive movements to develop muscular power and endurance. We applied this into our session by using a range of explosive movements such as leaps‚ bounds‚ jumps and medicine ball throws. We made sure we had a good amount of reps to challenge the people training and enough of a rest in between each exercise to

Biomechanics of Injury: Notes Sports injuries are divided into two categories: Acute and Chronic Acute Injury Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. E.g. sprained ankles‚ strained back and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of acute injury include: Sudden severe pain Swelling Inability to place weight on a lower limb Extreme tenderness in an upper limb Inability to move a joint through full range of motion Extreme limb weakness Visible dislocation/break

multimodal presentation I will be evaluating the video footage taken of my personal performance of the volleyball spike and I’m identify one major weakness in my technique and applying two biomechanical principles to justify why it is my weakness. Biomechanics applies to the science field in every sport; it is basically the principals and laws of mechanics about human performance. Though the evaluation of the video footage which was taken to show my personal performance in the volley ball spike‚ it

What is karate? In any sports that one performs it is fundamental to know the mechanics of it to be able to understand and produce the desired movements. When decomposing the word biomechanics we come up with the part bio (meaning living) so we study the mechanics of living subjects and the effects of forces (gravity‚ air resistance‚ ect.) on both living and non-living objects. This term project required us to record a short clip comparing experts to novices. Our "stars" are named Ricky Lew

The article "Ankle Biomechanics during four landing techniques‚" written by Brian P. Self and Daniel Paine is based on a study trying to reveal new ankle injury prevention during landings in a variety of sports. By performing a series of landing tests‚ the goal is to learn how to prevent ankle injuries in sports through knowledge and understanding of proper landing techniques. Four landing conditions from 30.48 cm in height were tested. The landings include: the natural landing where the participant

is one of the most imperative forms of locomotion within human beings and is a fundamental component in every land-based sporting activity (Burkett 2010). Running biomechanics research provides imperative data and information about injury prevention‚ injury treatment and movement safety (Knudson 2007). The study of running biomechanics is essential in order to provide analysable data which illustrates the potential risk of injury of an inadequate running technique. Considering Newton’s third law

soccer (Lees‚ 2010). The most common type of kick in soccer is the instep. The instep of a soccer kick has interested researches in studying the biomechanics of it. Some researches “consider the kick beginning from the way a player approaches the ball to the end of ball flight‚ the point that determines the success of the kick.” This interest has gotten biomechanics thinking about the kick in terms of the supporting leg‚ the pelvis in the kicking action‚ thigh abduction‚ and knee flexion (Scurr‚ 2009).
