Biomechanics revision 11GPES

What is the primary role of biomechanics in sports?

• Improve mental health

• Improve performance

• Increase team cohesion

• Enhance equipment design

How can biomechanics help in preventing sports injuries?

• By increasing the intensity of training

• By analysing movement patterns to reduce strain

• By focusing only on strength training

• By ignoring flexibility training

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of applying biomechanics in sports?

• Improving performance

• Preventing sports injuries

• Enhancing spectators' experience

• Refining techniques

What is linear motion?

• Movement in a circular path

• Movement in a straight line

• Rotation around an axis

• Combination of linear and angular motions

Angular motion refers to:

• Movement in a straight line

• Rotational movement around an axis

• Combining linear and angular motion

• Random movement in multiple directions

General motion is best described as:

• Rotational movement around a single axis

• Movement in a straight line only

• Combination of angular motion and linear motion

• Stationary movement

Which phase of movement involves getting ready to perform an action?

• Preparation

• Follow through

• Action

• • Recovery

The action phase in a movement cycle is characterised by:

• Cooling down

• Warming up

• Executing the main movement

• Analysing the movement

Which phase of movement assists in stabilising the body after performing the main action?

• Action

• Preparation

• Initiation

• Follow through

How can the preparation phase assist with biomechanical analysis?

• By analysing the recovery process

• By evaluating the end movement

• By examining the initial stance and positioning

• By focusing only on the action phase
