Balance and Stability

What aspect of biomechanics is primarily highlighted in the image related to the skateboarder's performance?

• Flexibility and coordination

• Balance and stability

• Speed and agility

• Strength and endurance

What does equilibrium refer to in physical terms?

• The state in which there is a balance of forces, either motionless or moving with a constant velocity

• The condition where an object is accelerating

• The state where all forces are increasing

• The situation where an object is losing velocity

Which of the following is an example of static equilibrium?

• A car speeding up on a highway

• A book resting on a table

• A ball rolling down a hill

• A bird flying in the sky

What is dynamic equilibrium?

• When an object is increasing its speed

• When an object is moving with constant velocity

• When an object is stationary

• When an object is in free fall

What does balance refer to in sports according to the text?

• The ability to run fast

• The ability to maintain and control equilibrium

• The ability to jump high

• The ability to lift weights

What is required for static balance?

• Movement while playing

• Set positions to be maintained

• Quick reflexes

• High endurance

Which type of balance is needed in sports like basketball and tennis?

• Static balance

• Dynamic balance

• Flexible balance

• Absolute balance

What does stability enable a person to do?

• Move quickly

• Resist changes to equilibrium

• Increase speed

• Improve agility

When is dynamic stability required?

• When an object is at rest

• When lifting weights

• When an object is in motion

• When sitting still

What does the image of the gymnast on the balance beam illustrate about balance in sports?

• Balance can be achieved without stability.

• Stability is not necessary for balance.

• Balance and stability are the same in sports.

• Stability is more important than balance.
