...Success in global sport now requires good leadership and state-of-the-art scientific back up. Discuss, using example, the role the sports science now plays in the long term preparation of elite sports performers Introduction In this study I will debate why the modern performers need state of the art scientific back up. The margin between modern performers is so small and therefore scientific back up is needed to help increase the athlete’s potential and push above that margin to beat the opposition. This scientific evidence will help improve the athlete’s weaker areas and focus on improving weaknesses in the performer and therefore time management is required to maximise training time. Main points and examples Most elite squads now have access to a team of sport scientists which means the quality of sport in the modern game has increased and evolving thoroughly. The slight margins between performers in the modern game meaning that most performers have specialized coaching and scientific support to improve the performers skills. Sports scientist help the performer improve on their weaknesses and narrow down the margin between opposition and aim to increases the team’s chances of winning and the overall performance from the individual athlete. The advantages of this it will increase the team’s chances of success and performing better as a team due to the fact they more specific training programmes to help eliminate the weaker attributes in the squad.

Ben Kibler TENNIS RECOVERY A Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based review of the available literature...

Children today are revolved around video games, mindless hours watching television and endless hours on the computer. Gone are the days where you had to look out for kids playing on the streets while driving and even avoiding cyclists. A dangerously low inactive lifestyle is sweeping the nation's children, and the Redskins can help. A new proposed plan will allow children to not only engage in a more physically active lifestyle, but they will enjoy it. Each summer, the Redskins will hold a junior training camp which will allow children in schools from Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia to train with the actual team. They will have to perform real NFL style drills and plays led by the same coaches and players on the Redskins team staff. It will be divided by age class, with the older kids receiving more rigorous activities and vice versa. Since the Redskins are such a cherished organization, and athletes are treated as celebrities, the children would be more than willing to participate in this event. The junior training camp will of couse have a limit to the amount of kids allowed, in order to keep it low cost. It will be part of an incentive program in correlation...

...Physical Education (P.E) is the field of learning which aims at the development of physical skills, knowledge, understanding, positive social behavior and attitudes concerning human movement. It enables the learner to develop body skills, physical capabilities and practical skills in games and sports as well as their application to the development of physical fitness, healthy life-style and social interaction. It requires mastery of movement patterns and the development of body stamina within safe and structured play environment. This essay seeks to list and describe a variety of headstand, traditional support and handstand skills.] The choice of teaching method(s) to use in teaching physical Education depends on a number of factors such as the level of the learner (age and ability), the amount of content to be taught, available resources, learners’ aspirations, as well as the teachers’ ability, personality and level of interest. The general approaches used in teaching P.E are the direct (formal/ teacher-centered) and the indirect (informal/ learner-centered) approach. As students grow, the amount and level of work should also change and increase. This will not only show growth but it will show that learning has taken place. Pupils need to be subjected to tasks that are from simple to complex. There are various methods to learn when pupils are progressing from simple to complex tasks. The first type is what is called the headstand. The headstand is one of the easiest skills...

...personality is built through a number of different traits that the person has. The maker of the theory was Gordon Alport; he came up with the idea. He found that just by figuring out what traits you have, the trait theory can figure out what personality you have. He said that there are 4,000 words in the English dictionary that describe traits. He put these words and traits into 3 categories; Cardinal traits, central traits and secondary traits. These categories would help describe what someone’s personality is. This theory would help pick out people like; introverts unstable, introvert stable, extrovert unstable, and extrovert stable. This then suggests the fact that some people with one of them personality’s should be selected for a certain sport. For example if someone was an introvert stable this would suggest that they should play a game like snooker or darts, something that isn’t that boistres and loud and something with no contact. Some people will argue against this and say that the test is not accurate because there are athletes that play rugby that are an introvert stable. And there can also be extrovert snooker men or darts players, they will just have a more focused point on the game. Basically, the series of tests that are available to use the trait theory are just a series of questions that you answer and at the end calculates what sort of personality you have. And what group you are categorised into. To conclude the trait theory, it is a test that determines if you are...

...students. Some students may be nervous in a competition while others may be completely confident. People are arguing whether to continue competitions or to discontinue them. According to experts competition can be a way of motivation if used properly, that is why it should be continued. The reasons why competition should be continued is because, first sports is a type of competition used in schools yet many people still participate in them and second, competition doesn't necessarily have to be in a form of sports it can also be made for learning purposes. Sports is a type of competition that many people enjoy, that is why people should associate sports with school. Sports also don't make people as stressful as regular competitions. Ordinary competitions make you stand in front of massive amounts of people, which can make you nervous especially if you make a mistake. Unlike regular competitons sports give you exercise, which is really important for a person. People need daily exercise everyday to stay healthy and in good shape, it also makes you live a longer life.

...The three sports I will be talking about is soccer, basketball, and hockey. Soccers deal with parabola's, rectangles, and chance of making a goal on average, basketball deals with angles, length, and size of the ball, and hockey deals with horizontal lines, speed of opponent, and hockey size. These three sports show the reason why math is needed in sports. In the game of soccer in order to score you have to keep your kick from going overboard using the math of parabola’s. Parabola’s electronically show the chance of a goal from any spot on the field. Mathematically the highest point of the parabola for a 75% of a goal is between 10 to 15 feet off the ground due to speed, velocity, and wind speed. The ball can be kicked higher but wind speed...
