What does BOS stand for?

• Boss of the School

• Base of Support

• Balance of Stability

Why is Base of Support important is sport?

When we stand our COG normally sits where on our body?

• Around our head

• Our belly button

• Just below our knees

• Just above our knees

A womens COG is generally lower than mens, why?

What is the method called to find someones COG?

• Cone Method

• Box Method

• Square Method

• Circle Method

When the LOG falls in the middle of your Base of Support, you are most

What is Projectile Motion?

Every projectile follows a path which is called its T.........

What are the factors that influence projectile motion?

(hint: there are 6)
