...physical fitness are; muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, speed, body composition, aerobic endurance and the components of skill-related fitness; agility, balance, co-ordination, power and reaction time. I will relate the components of fitness to my chosen sport-netball. 6 components of physical fitness Aerobic endurance Aerobic endurance is having the ability to exercise for a long period without getting tired. During aerobic work the body is dependent on oxygen; also athletes who are good at aerobic endurance will have slow twitch fibres. This component is suited for an ectomorph because of their small body surface area, light frame and good thermo regulation, which is suitable for endurance based sports such as a triathlon. Aerobic endurance relates to netball because you have to continually run up and down the court for the duration of the netball game. Muscular endurance Muscular endurance is having the ability to keep contracting your muscles without getting tired. During an activity that uses muscular endurance they will use slow twitch fibres because of the endurance of the activity. This component is suited for an endomorph because of their large lung capacity they are able to do sports like rowing, which needs muscular endurance. They are also able to increase their muscle mass easily. In netball you need to have good muscular endurance because you use your leg muscles – triceps and hamstrings- constantly as you run throughout the game. You also...

...Burkeen Westwood College The Physical Science of Skydiving Introduction Skydiving which is also known as parachuting, is the action and adventurous sport in which a volunteer exit takes place from an aircraft for returning back to earth with gravity aid with the help of parachute for slowing down throughout the last of the safe descent of earth. This action may or may not comprise of a specific amount of free fall, but a moment in which the parachute has not been set out and the body accelerates gradually to terminal velocity. In this paper, a discussion will be conducted on the physical science of the skydiving. Skydiving is performed as a competitive sport and a recreational activity, as well as it fulfill the deployment of the Airborne forces’ military personnel and rarely forest firefighters. When a parachute opens as, that will be completely inflated by 2,600 feet or 800 meters, (BBC News, 2009) and then the skydiver can control the speed and direction with toggles on the steering lines’ ends that are linked to the parachute’s trailing edges, and can intend for a safe landing and eventually arrive to a moderately tender stop. All the contemporary sport parachutes have ‘ram-air’ wings that are self-inflating and assist in controlling the direction and speed as per the linked paragliders. Purists in every sport would signify that paragliders have highly superior range and lift, but that parachutes are specially designed for absorbing the stresses of the consumption...

...The strength and conditioning philosophy can be wrapped up in one statement; to train for sport-specific power. The definition of power is: strength x speed= power. Strength training, Olympic weightlifting, sprint speed, agility, plyometrics, flexibility, balance, and core/stability training all need to be performed to achieve maximum sport-specific power. A strong core is necessary to maintain back strength throughout all ranges of motion. Proper posture in the core can significantly increase the force production of the arms and legs and keep the athlete's back strong and healthy throughout all training. This can especially be important in today’s society where kids walk around all day with their shoulders slumped forward to hold a back pack on their shoulders comfortably. Flexibility to comfortably go through the full range of motion with proper technique in all lifting and running drills is also necessary. A good total body flexibility test would be a properly executed overhead squat where the athlete gets all the way down with their hips below their knees. Sprinting, agilities, and plyometrics are all important components of speed training. This is also where the coach can get very sport specific with agility drills and sprinting distances. The weight room is critical to maximize strength, power, and speed training. Lifts such as the deep squat and bench are great for lower and upper body strength and all the Olympic weightlifting will work to maximize speed and power. ...

...My two favourite units consisted of soccer and volleyball. Personally, I felt that they were the two sports that encouraged my overall participation the most. Both are very engaging as they are sports that force every player to be active in order to help the team score a point/goal. Considering that they are team sports, teamwork and social interaction were provided as an opportunity for classmates to bond. Not only did volleyball and soccer develop reflexes that permitted me to control the ball, they also required varying degrees of stamina due to the relentless pace at which they are played. Players had to be vigilant and prepared for the ball to be sent in their direction. I enjoyed the aspect of playing sports that did not necessarily require athleticism alone, such as track and field; but also with a component of strategy....

...ROWING Rowing is one of the oldest sports in the world history. Though, rowing has deeper history since oared vessels had been used for transportation, fishing, warfare etc. It is principally all about finding out using the oars to move forward the boats in water. Then, rowing naturally becomes a sport in course of time, with the desire of competition. Which brings the question; what makes the boat go faster? This question carried the science an important part of rowing’s sportive development. We now all know that physics has a big role in sports; and understanding how physics is applied in sports improves the athlete’s performance and develops new techniques. With the time, new experiences, new records make people search and study harder in applied physic to reach best results in sports. Newton’s laws of motion help us to understand mechanics of rowing better. In this paper, some of the physics concepts will be studied in the process of rowing. The stroke A rowing stroke has four steps; catch, drive, finish and recovery. These are the most important elements for the efficient rowing. The catch is the beginning of the stroke; when the blade meets the water a stroke starts. Starting with the first catch, boat accelerates and starts moving forward. As the boat moves forward, the drag force is going to slow down the boat. When the acceleration reaches down to zero, rower should put the blade into water again with an angle through the direction toward movement to prevent sudden...

...coffee beans begin to awaken his senses as he sluggishly makes his way into the kitchen. He checks his watch, gathers his essentials, and heads out the door in the direction of the train station; Here begins a full day, devoted to perfecting his talent. Like any professional athlete, the life of a soccer player requires discipline, focus, and drive. The sport is more than just a game to them; it’s a career. Mandatory daily practices and workouts are imperative to honing their skills. Many Americans do not give soccer a chance due to the overshadowing caused by American Football. Americans often portray professional soccer players as pansies kicking around a ball, without considering the coordination it takes to pass, handle, and score goals without the use of one’s hands. The lack of size requirements in the sport opens its doors to a wider variety of athletes. Though it has not touched the United States of America to its full potential, it remains the most popular sport in the world; its international competition forces individuals to come together, allowing their love of the game to surpass cultural boundaries. Soccer is one of the most demanding sports; there are many physical skills required to partake, among them: speed, balance, flexibility and strength. A professional soccer player must be able to change direction on a dime while maintaining high speeds. They must be able to perform difficult ball handling maneuvers with such finesse using heavy calculations. According to...

...Organized sports play a vital role in the development of a child’s life. The purpose of my essay is to explain why organized sports is essential to a child’s life and will teach them valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and discipline giving them a better chance to avoid pitfalls in life and groom them for success. Through my life experiences and statistics I will explain why organized sports not only develop a child’s life, but also are instrumental in so many other ways that the reward far outweighs the risk. There are many arguments that organized sports at an early age can injure a child, and makes many of parents nervous and uneasy. While the evidence supported in the statistics of Boston Children’s Hospital state that 20% of all children that participate in sports will receive some kind of sports injury, it states that 60% of these occur in practice and are only mild strains or sprains. The research also shows that children are more likely to hurt themselves in everyday activity, and these injuries are more serious than those that occur in organized sports. I can attest that all injuries I had in sports were minor, and the main injury that prevented me from continuing to play came as a result of falling on a slippery pavement, and not while engaging in sports. Organized sports have been proven to develop leadership in individuals. I feel that without sports I would not have developed into the leader I am in the corporate world. For example playing football...

...BIOMECHANICS The term biomechanics means the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the methods of mechanics. Biomechanics studies the process of kinematics and used in the study of sports actions, such as the motion of throwing a baseball. Why do some golfers slice the ball? How can workers avoid developing low back pain? What cues can a physical education teacher provide to help students learn the underhand volleyball serve? Why do some elderly individuals tend to fall? We have all admired the fluid, graceful movements of highly skilled performers in various sports. We have also observed the awkward first steps of a young child, the slow progress of an injured person with a walking cast, and the hesitant, uneven gait of an elderly person using a cane. Virtually every activity class includes a student who seems to acquire new skills with utmost ease and a student who trips when executing a jump or misses the ball when attempting to catch, strike, or serve. What enables some individuals to execute complex movements so easily, while others appear to have difficulty with relatively simple movement skills? Although the answers to these questions may be rooted in physiological, psychological, or sociological issues, the problems identified are all biomechanical in nature. This book will provide a foundation for identifying, analyzing, and solving problems related to the biomechanics of human movement. Definition of Biomechanics The term biomechanics combines...
