Our results show that doing a belly flop would cause the most harm to a person who is diving into a pool of water. This is based off of the greater speed that a person belly flops into the water (8.3 m/s2), which is more than both head first diving (7.73 m/s2) and rotating into the water (7.34 m/s2). Also, the amount of force that the water exerts on the body while doing a belly flop (1079 N) is greater than the amount of force the water exerts on the body while head first diving (1004.95 N) and rotating into the water (954.2 N). It takes approximately 3,300 N to crack bones, such as a rib and approximately 4,000 n to fracture a femur (Choi,C). This means that the excessive amounts of force have the power to breaks bones and the greater the
What would you attempt to do if you could not fail. For you it might be talk your parents into giving you a car, or a thousand dollars. For me, I would attempt to do a double backflip on the ground. When I was about 9 years old, my sister could do a front flip on our trampoline. I thought it was really cool and I wanted to do it so badly. Later that year I taught myself how to do a front flip. I thought it was so cool so I did one hundred that day. When I turned 11, I taught myself how to do a backflip on our trampoline. It took a while because it was so much different than a front flip. My friend (Calen) came over one day and he wanted to learn how to do a backflip so I tried to teach him but he just couldn't commit. When I turned 12, he came to my house again and wanted to learn a corkscrew. We looked up a video on my IPad on YouTube and we tried to do it but it seemed impossible. While trying a corkscrew, Calen got more and more positive that he could do a backflip and sure enough, he had
Each year, approximately a quarter of a million physically active young people experience an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and seventy percent of these ACL injuries will be sustained while engaging in non-contact activities such as sudden deceleration while landing (Begalle et al., 2012). This type of injury is grossly detrimental not only on the occasion in which it occurs but also for the subsequent years to come. The majority of individuals who injure their ACL also go on to either, re-injure that same ACL, or injure the opposite knee. Furthermore, our bodies are put in tremendously vulnerable planes of motion during sporting events, especially during activities such as, basketball, football, or soccer. In this day
Kettlebells are must haves for anyone targeting their upper body. They help burn more calories, target important muscles, improve strength and makes traditional dumbell workouts more challenging. This is a result of the uneven weight distribution of the ‘bell. Kettlebells are essentially the key to improving your upper body. All you need are a few great workouts.

Strength, balance, and determination are only a few things that every gymnast needs to do difficult skills while staying on a tiny four inch beam. Back walkovers on the beam is a very hard skill to do and scary to get over the fear of doing them in gymnastics. Before anyone attempts a back walkover, they should make sure they can do a backbend, handstand on the beam, and a kickover. Supplies will be needed to teach people how to do a backwalkover on the beam while having form as pretty as a flower blowing in the wind. Mats, a high beam, and a low beam are the main items needed. However, a line strip and a soft, squishy, low beam will help you learn backwalkover easier. With all of that equipment, anyone can learn a back walkover quickly.

Leotards are a fundamental clothing item used many sports, mainly dance and gymnastics, which allow the athlete to perform at their peak ability without restrictions. A leotard allows for fluidity of movement and should also be light weight, stretchy, durable, and conform to the athlete's body (1). Upon their first appearances in the sporting community, leotards were manufactured from stretchy wool (1). However their increasing popularity later led to modifications in the choice of material; leotards being made from cotton and spandex (1). Spandex, also known as lyrcra or elastane, is a synthetic fibre which is produced from a long-chain polymer called polyurethane (8). Alternatively, cotton is a natural fibre made from glucose molecules which
Pull the ball low and away with the left stick for a Back Shoulder Pass. It will help you go for red zone scores, but bear in mind that you will need to practice a lot before actually trying this pass in a game, because it can easily lead you to turnovers. This pass is ideal for the “outside the numbers” area of the field.

A few years back, when we had a pretty goof snowfall, my sister and I was on our way home. We had talked earlier that day about jumping out of cars and things of that nature. Stunt doubles made everything look so easy. I was overconfident and very certain I could accomplish this. As we approached the driveway, I told her that I was going to achieve this goal. She begun to ease down the drive. I was most certain that the snow would feel like I was throwing myself on to a very cold cloud. I unlocked the door anxiously, grabbed ahold of the car about to thrust myself out of the vehicle. I soon realized that I was being pushed by my sister. The reason I think she did such a thing was because she didn’t think I would jump. That experience didn’t

The CrossFit is becoming more and more popular workout worldwide and due to the severity of the exercises, it is logical to assume that more injuries might occur. According to the authors who performed a research about injuries due to CrossFit exercises, they found out that people are not at a higher risk of experiencing injury compared to other similar workouts. However, authors confirmed that there is a higher probability to experience injury while participating in a CrossFit workout as compared to
Board breaking is often exhibited as an incredible talent performed by martial artists at demonstrations or tournaments in order to show off strength. This isn’t true, however, as breaking is an illustrated example of a perfected technique as one would use in a real situation. The accuracy, strength, and power of these techniques is demonstrated through the break. Many people are amazed by breaking, but don’t fully understand how truly easy it is. Breaking can be explained by both the physics behind the act and the mental aspects of the preparation of the break.
A front swing is an asset to any home as some realtors believe owning one sells a house faster. Have a wooden swing brings out the enjoyment of being a kid again and swinging. It is also a great place for relaxing after a meal or coming home from a hard days work. Most homes that are built these days do have front porches but I have noticed that some builders are bringing them back. Even if we do not have a front porch we can hang a swing from a strong and durable patio cover or strong large tree branches.
