While the glass ceiling hangs over our heads we must forget the saying that “those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” Women face an invisible barrier between the limited space they inhabit and the space that is actually available to them. The glass ceiling is traditionally defined as “an unofficially acknowledged barrier to advancement in a profession‚ especially affecting women and members of minorities” (Merriam-Webster). I argue that through Young’s analysis of the modalities specific to

James Fallows‚ “Throwing Like a Girl‚” p. 63 1. He described their outfits because their pictures were posted in a lot of newspapers. In the pictures they didn’t look too bad‚ what the author was mostly concerned is that they both threw the ball “like a girl”. I think the author would expect them to dress different for a big ceremony like that so it may also be one of the reasons why he described their outfits. 2. I think Fallows stereotypes the people that do something “like a girl” because

In James Fallows piece‚ “Throwing Like a Girl‚” he explores the idea of why the phrase ‘you throw like a girl’ is used in the wrong context. He first talks about a famous duo‚ Bill and Hillary Clinton‚ being photographed mid pitch at baseball home openers. Looking at the photo‚ Hillary’s throw looks extremely awkward whereas Bill’s looks normal. With the photos side by side‚ people would say that Hillary is throwing like a girl. However‚ this phrase has a misconception‚ which Fallows revels throughout

Changes in Knee Biomechanics After a Hip-Abductor Strengthening Protocol for Runners With Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome It has been hypothesized by many that a primary factor contributing to patellofemoral pain syndrome is muscle weakness in the hip-abductor. Because the hip-abductors control hip abduction‚ it is hypothesized that they also control knee genu valgum angle during the stage of running known as the “stance phase.” A greater genu valgum ange has been purported to increase patellofemoral

What is a Biomechanical Analysis? Biomechanics is the study of how parts of the human body moves‚ bears weight and how the various parts of the extremities move The study of biomechanics is important when determining what causes injuries and therefore how we can prevent them re-occurring. This is especially important in elite athletes but can be a major cause in recurrent injuries in the less gifted amateur athlete. PhysioWorks physiotherapists and podiatrists have additional training in

Four integrated themes are explored the first of which focuses on how biomechanics can contribute to the understanding of sport performance in athletes with a disability and how it may be used as an evidence-based tool. This latter point questions the potential for a possible cultural shift led by emergence of user-friendly instruments

The Base Ball Pitch - Tom Hando The biomechanics of a movement is slightly different to the physiological principles of it. The biomechanics of a movement‚ is how the forces acting upon an object effects the way the object moves. (FIGURE 1) For example in my movement‚ the baseball pitch‚ in the wind up stage of the pitch‚ the forces acting upon the body is causing hip and knee flexion which results in the knee and hip coming into contact with the chest. Whereas the physiological principles is working
