Broad Jump And Vertical Leap Analysis

Balance is a main priority on the offensive line to ensure that you do not get knocked back into your quarterback. On offense, you want your legs to be the strongest part of your body, because they do the majority of the work (Gerard). On the defensive side, it is more beneficial to have speed with more upper body strength because they use their arms and hands much more (Gerard). Although it is more beneficial to have more strength in certain areas for both positions, it is very important to be physically strong throughout your entire body on both offense and defense because it is a very tough and physical

Touch football is a type of football in which the ball carrier is downed by touching instead of tackling. In the game of touch football, there are many different fitness components that relate to specific touch positions. This essay will evaluate the components of fitness and analysis their relevance to touch football. To complete this, a series of fitness tests were done to help determine my suitability to touch football resulting in a recommendation outlining my suitability to a specific touch football position, based on my fitness.

In “What is the Safest Starting Position for American Football Players?,” scientist’s Bruno Bonnechere, Bennoit Beyer, Marcel Rooze, and Jan Serge Van Sint explain their experiment showing the pro/con ratio for football players who practice with various sprint starting positions, and the “learning process effect” (Bonnechere, Beyer, Rooze, Serge Van Sint, 2014) amongst football players and non-players. The results from different tests give a conclusion that is targeted to football players, and the officials of the game.

I will be using the correlation analytical strategy in order to test my data. By comparing concussion over two six year periods, I will be able to see the differences between the 12 years and see what has changed, been fixed, or still needs to be improved. The correlation strategy will be best to see how modern day medicine techniques as well as the NFL rule changes affected the game we love. I look forward to comparing the two 6 year periods and testing my hypothesis to see if there was a reduction in concussions during the second 6-year period.

The NFL understands the severity of injuries will continue to increase due to players today becoming bigger, faster, and stronger than they use to be. This is where creating more efficient equipment comes in to effect. With head injuries being the spotlight in the NFL recent years, endless research has been conducted to create helmets that reduce impact for the players. In 2012, manufacturers conducted a test which consisted of 23 different impacts on 17 types of modern football helmets and comparing those results to helmets of the 1990s that are still cleared to be used in the NFL. “The four helmets had significantly improved performance compared to the 1990s baseline helmets. The Schutt DNA PRO (#5) and the Riddell Revolution (#4), IQ (#9), and Revolution Speed (#7) has statistically lower biomechanical responses and better for attenuation than the 1990s baseline helmets” (Viano, 2012). Along with the field tests of these new improved helmets, was research on if on-field performance is different in players who return within seven days after a concussion compared with players who missed at least one game. This was conducted on players who actively played in the NFL from 2008 to 2012 who wore these improved helmets as opposed to the helmets created in the 90s. After these tests were complete, there was no difference in player performance and concussion rates have actually gone down from 1996 to 2012 when this study was conducted. Advancements in helmet technology has become quite successful as players safety, concussions, and the actions the NFL has taken to improve on both, have become a huge spotlight in the sports

While reading the article Fourth Down, I found it interesting that the statistics they had based on offensive alignment and the different plays can effect a success rate on a conversion. Sometimes you can see these results in a naked eye, but, when you have the stats to back it up and see the numbers involved in it, it really is eye-opening. What grabbed my attention in the article was the stat where is states, going for it on the fourth-and-short has had a 62.7% success rate over the three years, but, those numbers go up when you have a quarterback like Brady or Brees or if you have Peterson as your running back. What I find interesting is how a high caliber type player does effect the percentage, even though it seems obvious because those players are elite, it cool to see how a player can change his own chances in a play.

In a community who has been persecuted, shunned and harmed for hundreds of years, would you believe the notion that a few members of the same persecuted community are trying to pull itself apart?

In “What is the Safest Sprint Starting Position for American Football Players?” a research article from Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, authors Bruno Bonnechere, Benoit Beyer, Marcel Rooze, and Jan Serge Van Sint, argue that out of the three sprint start positions in football (2-, 3-, and 4-point), the 2-point stance is the least dangerous. To prove this, a study was conducted on these positions and compared each to the safety levels in relation to American football. The results justify that the 2-point stance is safer than the 3-point or 4-point positions.

I think the New York Giants should pick Derrick Henry for the NFL draft. Reason one is According to my data Mr.Henry time for the forty yard dash was in 4.54 to 4.56 the shortest time range and my forty yard dash bar graph only two people are in that range and everyone else's time pales in comparison with a mean 4.664 and ten point margin .On my Vertical jump dot plot, Mr.henry was the high extreme with numbers like 37.0 which no one else achieved and compared to the mean of 34.65 and a median of 34.389 Mr.henry did fairly better . On my last set of data which is sixty yards shuttle histogram, there were only two intervals of 11.50-11.53 and Mr.henry was one of the intervals and does much better compared with a mean of 11.709 and a median

2. This is different from other research done on this topic because they focused on the first 3 years of the athlete’s career. That presented problems because everyone did not play in the first 3 years in the NFL. The researcher’s collected Wonderlic test scores and draft outcomes of Quarterback in the years 1999-2008. Because the data collected is based on statistic that were already taken it is not a true experiment, instead the design is meant to examine the current use of the Wonderlic test in the NFL (Leedy & Ormrod,

Physical and mental strength plays a major role in a football player’s life. Football is a twelve month process, which consists of off- season (six months), in -season (five months), and the Transition (one month). During off-season the football player’s main goal is gaining strength, size, and much power, in-season they continue to practice and work on maintaining the gains in strength during the off-season, and the transition is when they rest and recuperate their body from the physical exercise. Football players are constantly bumped and knocked down during practices

Running backs use their qualities to get out of trouble situations during games. Most running backs are known for their speed, one of the most important trait of a RBs, and some use it much better and smarter than others. Jamaal Charles, Kansas City Chiefs running back, uses his speed like

My hypothesis was proven incorrect. Most baseball players do not increase their batting average. Although, some players do in fact increase their batting average it is only for one year and the following year it decreases. The majority of players do not increase their batting average. For example, in 2011 Dustin Pedroia’s batting average was .307 while his salary was 5 million. In 2012, his batting average decreased to .290 while earning 3 million dollars more than the previous year. The mean for batting average and salary is .281 and 10.42 million dollars. In addition, the value of R is -0.056. Although strictly a negative correlation, the relationship between the two variables is considered weak. The value of R2, the coefficient of determination,

In the article “Jump As Far As You Can”, readers are presented with an interactive lesson plan about measurement. The lesson plan starts by giving the students some background knowledge about the Olympic Games. The teacher will talk about how the Olympics has different sports and sometimes the sports are eliminated from the games. The students will be able to discuss what they know and what they have seen from the games. This will lead to the discussion about the standing jump and the different distances people can jump. The students will then be able to try a stand and jump themselves, and then measure out the distance in different measurements (i.e. cubes, feet and inches). At the end there was enrichment activities that students can participate
