• General

• Linear

• Angular

• Circular

A 50m freestyle swimmer is in what type of motion?

• General

• Linear

• Angular

• Circular

Which of these is an example of angular motion?

• Ice skater pirouette

• Athlete riding a bike

• Gymnastics somersault

• 100m sprint

Identify which of the following are phases of movement during a skill

• Execution

• Follow-through

• Approach

• Preparation

Place the skill points for a spiral pass in touch rugby into the correct phase of movement

Groups:

(a) Preparation

,

(b) Execution

,

(c) Follow - Through

• Outside hand rotates over ball to create spin

• Ball swung across body with 2 hands

• Eyes looking towards target

• Fingers point towards receiver

• Passer re-positions to become passing option

• Outside hand near back of ball

• Inside leg steps towards target

• Ball received between shoulders and waist

Match the definition and sporting example to the correct term

Groups:

(a) Lab Testing

,

(b) Field Testing

,

(c) Competition Analysis

• Performance simulated under laboratory conditions - therefore factors can be controlled

• Analysis while performing in an event or competition

• Golf simulator

• Performance analysed in training whilst sustaining a performance in usual setting

• Video analysis of a runners' gait during the Olympics 100m final

• Video recording of a volleyball spike in the sports hall

Athletes can enhance their performance through biomechanics through:
1: Modifications based on ​ (a)  
2: Provide guidelines for the ​ (b)   ​
3: ​ (c)  

• Athlete's body shape
• Selection of appropriate equipment
• Reduction of overuse or impact injuries
• Improvement of technique
• Most effective performance 
• Trial and error

In Biomechanics, the term motion is used to describe the path of a body.
Match the type of 'body' to the example provided:

1: ​ ​ (a)   The flight of a ball in the air

2: ​ ​ (b)   Jumping over a high jump bar

3: ​ (c)   Lower leg when kicking a football

• Inanimate object (non-living)
• Human Body (whole)
• Human Body (segments)
• Moving object (non-living)
• Artificial object (man-made)
• Human Body (multiple segments)

Identify which is a guideline for prevention of overuse injuries and which is not.

Groups:

(a) Prevention of overuse injuries

,

(b) Not a prevention

• Using correct technique

• Skipping warm-up exercises

• Training every day to maximise strength

• Appropriate warm up and cool down

• Using specialised equipment & safety precautions

• Keep training the same for every session

• Increase training load as soon as possible
