Biomechanical Principles of movement

What is Linear motion?

• Movement in a straight line.

• Movement around a joint in a circular motion.

• A combination of angular motion and movement.

• When movement is created by the angular movement of the limbs around the joint.

Define velocity

What is acceleration?

• An increase in speed.

• A change in velocity.

• When an object gets faster over time.

• When a force acts upon an object or body.

In a sporting context, what is more common, Uniform acceleration or Varied acceleration?

• Uniform

• Varied

Define Varied acceleration

Write out the Momentum equation

What are the three types of motion?

• Linear, Angular and General

• Forward, Backward and Sideward

• Angular, Flat and Diagonal

• General, Advanced and Intermediate

Define angular motion

Define general motion.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
