What are the effects of Biomechanical principles on sporting performanece.?
364466
if your bio-mechanics are off, you will employ and overwork the wrong muscles, risk serious injury over the long term, and not perform at your maximum potential.\n\nThe key is simple.....work hard on your technique, get your body in line and working efficiently and you will perform much better.

Basketball.. less chance of injury.  A little easier on the body.

structural kinesiology is what you're looking for. you want to look at the movements that take place in a pitch.\n\nTo maximize speed and strength you want to make a complex movement that maximizes body momentum.  In other words you want to twist the body and then kind of unravel in a movement that throws all the momentum of unraveling and throwing the ball into the ball.  Start with bringing your leg that faces the plate up and then twist your pelvis away from the plate.  Bring your arms away from the plate, throw your forward leg toward the plate bringing your arm out.  As your forward leg touches the ground bring your body down and being to roll your arm and the ball out towards the plate.  There are many variences but you want to find the one that is most comfortable to you.  Don't learn to throw sidearm because you'll only spend most games on the bench and your shoulder won't last long enough to make a career out of pitching.

1) Less pieces of equipment.\n2) More comfortable boots (usually)\n3) You are less likely to hurst your legs or feet if you fall

Yeah I've been told by some basketball teammates that they can help and at the same time I've read that they can pull on your ligaments, tendons and muscles in your legs creating some serious damage.  If you're really looking for a way to improve your vertical stick with core body exercises like squats (which should only be done with the proper technique) and plyometrics.  It's a slower process but it gets the job done.

I have been looking at this myself and the general feeling is as long as you get your body horizontal to the ground thier is not much more you can to to improve aerodynamics. Their is a good few pages on lance armstrongs and the discovery teams web pages on aerodynamicss, check it out.

The best answer for this would be a three pronged approach. First make sure you are using proper foot work, catching and throwing technique to maximize your effectiveness.  If you make a good catch but are out of position it will limit the distance and velocity of your throw... thus distance will suffer.  Make sure when you catch the ball you have a good position foot work wise and then make a throw using your momentum or create momentum with a crows hop.  Then make sure you make a good throw with your front foot, eyes, and the fingers of your throwing hand all going toward your target, make sure you are snapping the ball toward your target.  If your technique is OK then you will need to go to steps two and three.\n\nStep two is a strength and conditioning program. Depending on your age can include light weights and elastic bands for increased strength.  The goal is not to bulk up but condition and strengthen.  Also a good idea for overall shoulder stability.\n\nThirdly as you throw start to add distance every couple of days.  You want to lengthen out your throws over time so you don't cause injury.  Throw at about 80% effort and add five to ten feet every two to three days.  As your distance grows make sure to incorporate the proper footwork, crows-hop, and catching technique to ensure effectiveness.  After about three weeks you will start noticing an increase in velocity and distance.  GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!

components:\n-muscle power===>training with high weights and short time\n-muscle indurence===>low weight and long time\n-streatching===>giving flexiility to ur muscles\n-agility===> skipping rope

More weight, less reps. That builds power... the other way around builds endurance.

Being flexible has nothing to do with your speed. To get faster you need to work and tone your body more. Push it a little harder after you get comfortable with one pace and after a week or so once you get comfortable with that pace push it just a bit more and continue until you've reached a speed you want, but remember there is going to be some point at which you are at your maximum speed. As far as flexibility that's going to help you prevent injury. Stretching before and after exercise helps keep muscles loose. Flexibility enables your body to move better as well, but has nothing to do with speed. As a rugby player flexibility is great for reducing chance of injury.

Thats a good question. I don't think they do because they are very bulky and they slow you down. I only wear my ankle guards during practice, where it doesn't really matter how well you perform.

Skill Development \nWhen we choose to move, the action is controlled by the conscious brain using a collection of learned movements. For the movement to progress successfully, the athlete requires information feedback.\n\nTypes of skill\nThere are a number of different types of skills:\n\nCognitive - or intellectual skills that require thought processes \nPerceptual - interpretation of presented information \nMotor - movement and muscle control \nPerceptual motor - involve the thought, interpretation and movement skills \n\nHow do we teach a new skill ?\nThe teaching of a new skill can be achieved by various methods:\n\nVerbal instructions \nDemonstration \nVideo \nDiagrams \nPhoto sequences \nThe Learning Phases - Fitts & Posner\nFitts and Posner (1967) suggested that the learning process is sequential and that we move through specific phases as we learn. There are three stages to learning a new skill and these are:\n\nCognitive phase - Identification and development of the component parts of the skill - involves formation of a mental picture of the skill \nAssociative phase - Linking the component parts into a smooth action - involves practicing the skill and using feedback to perfect the skill \nAutonomous phase - Developing the learned skill so that it becomes automatic - involves little or no conscious thought or attention whilst performing the skill - not all performers reach this stage \nThe leaning of physical skills requires the relevant movements to be assembled, component by component, using feedback to shape and polish them into a smooth action. Rehearsal of the skill must be done regularly and correctly.\n\nSchmidt's Schema Theory\nSchmidt's theory (1975) was based on the fact that actions are not stored rather we refer to abstract relationships or rules about movement. Schmidt's schema is based on the theory that that every time a movement is conducted four pieces of information are gathered:\n\nthe initial conditions - starting point \ncertain aspects of the motor action - how fast, how high \nthe results of the action - success or failure \nthe sensory consequences of the action - how it felt \nRelationships between these items of information are used to construct a recall schema and a recognition schema. The Recall schema is based on initial conditions and the results and is used to generates a motor program to address a new goal. The recognition schema is based on sensory actions and the outcome.\n\nAdam's Closed Loop Theory\nAdam's theory (1971) has two elements:\n\nPerceptual trace - a reference model acquired through practice \nMemory trace - responsible for initiating the movement \nThe key feature of this theory is the role of feedback. The process of analysing the reference model actions, the result of those actions and the desired goals then the reference model can be refined to produce the required actions to achieve the desired goals.\n\nTransfer of learning\nTransfer of learning can take place in the following ways:\n\nSkill to skill \nthis is where a skill developed in one sport has an influence on a skill in another sport. If the influence is on a new skill being developed then this is said to be proactive and if the influence is on a previously learned skill then this is said to be retroactive \nTheory to practice \nthe transfer of theoretical skills into practice \nTraining to competition \nthe transfer of skills developed in training into the competition situation \n\nEffects of transfer of learning\nThe effects of transfer can be:\n\nNegative \nWhere a skill developed in one sport hinders the performance of a skill in another sport \nZero \nWhere a skill in one sport has no impact on the learning of a new sport \nPositive \nWhere a skill developed in one sport helps the performance of a skill in another sport \nDirect \nWhere a skill can be taken directly from sport to another \nBilateral \nTransfer of a skill from side of the body to the other - use left and right \nUnequa

Yes, the amount of air affects how firm the outer part is. The more air, the more resistance to flex the skin has due to the pressure, the "bouncier" it will be.

Yes, as well as strengthening the ankles, calfs and legs.\n\nThe act of jumping provides a soft impact on the joints of the legs, thus, hindering the chance of injury. \n\nBalancing on one leg with weights is a good method to increase strength within the entire leg region (ankles, calves, knees, etc).

l'angle de 35° par rapport à celui de 45 favorise un meilleur plané du javelot par une pente plus douce. d'autre part au niveau anatomique  ou plutôt biomécanique un lancer à 45° efficace nécessiterait trop de contrainte en terme de position et par conséquent ne permettrait pas une bonne production de la force musculaire
